Customised Talk - a long overdue sticky to explain what the heck is going on!

Dear Mumsnetters,

We have made a few enhancements to our humble offering, which will allow you to customise Mumsnet Talk and (God willing) get it just the way you like it by using the Active conversations links at the top of Talk pages. You can choose to read threads in different order, how many posts appear on your page (if you limit the posts per page it can make the page load more quickly), fiddle with the colours, choose how many posts in active conversations, select how many days your threads I'm watching lasts for, plus you can opt to ignore specific posts or topics willy nilly. Oh and there's a moonwatch too.

Our default look is slightly changed from old Mumsnet (or Mumsnet classic as we like to call it) but before anyone starts panicking, there is a Mumsnet Classic button just a click away for all you conservative, dyed in the wool MNetters who like it like it is and can't think why we wanted to mess with it anyway. (ie A "Change it back!" option, which given bitter experience we thought we'd introduce at the same time as change )

So do have a fiddle (ideally for at least ten minutes before you start wailing "Who, what, why, when") and if you have any problems/ishoos/suggestions then please do post them here and we promise to look at them.

Hope you like it - if you do - twas my idea - if you hate it look no further than the shed.

ps plse can you fill in our survey

ps I know this is a sticky quite yet but it will be shortly if JJ can figure out how to do it, and a little bit less shortly (i.e. when Tech wakes up) if she can't.

Wish I could do stickies [wistful emoticon]

Wish I could Aitch - all JJ's work. Thanks for your thanks though .

JustscreamMumsnet · 26/10/2007 13:43

Oooh Blimey, yes, you're right - don't know how that slipped in!

JustscreamMumsnet · 26/10/2007 14:09

Yes - if only we'd had moonwatch - we'd have known not to be so foolish .

Hi Twigortreat, The customise options only work when you are logged in. If you don't have "remember me" set and then you shut down mn and come back, we don't know who you are until you log in, so we can't do any of your options.

Tech · 26/10/2007 15:12

This (ignore stickies) should be alright now. If you set ignore stickies on customise active conversations they should go un-sticky and just show up in their normal spots as and when there are new messages.

And spelling: JR (as I like to call her) agreed with the customise argument so now we gone all -ise rather than -ize.

"JR, you are not gonna put me back in that sanitarium."

And before you start, I know we say sanatorium in the uk not sanitarium, but I was being Sue Ellen innit

Yes, sorry about that Hunker - was a lovely idea and all but think Tech my have lynched me [hgrin]

Thanks for feedback rustybear - will alert tech but it may be Monday before he has time to have a look - we have to give him the (very) occasional day out of the shed you know
