What was wrong with Next/Previous/Last with specific pages available.

OP posts:
theDudesmummy · 20/04/2022 07:03

I can't go past page 15 now. I was on a long running thread which was past 15 pages, now I can't see the latest posts. Please fix urgently!

theDudesmummy · 20/04/2022 07:16

OK I can see the thread now, but I much preferred having next, previous, last buttons

WeAreTheHeroes · 20/04/2022 08:03

Same here - bring back First and Last. So much easier and quicker when trying to keep up with posts on threads. I know there's always a period of adjustment when something is updated, but it's a pain this morning having to navigate multiple changes all at once. The page numbering is the one that's led me to post here though. Frustrated!

theDudesmummy · 20/04/2022 09:20

What happened to the Refresh button? It seems to have gone.

HellyR · 20/04/2022 09:34

Yes please bring back first/last/previous!

FairyCakeWings · 20/04/2022 12:50

I'd appreciate first next and lat page back too please

PragmaticWench · 20/04/2022 12:53

The page numbers are also really small, harder to find.

Rummikub · 20/04/2022 13:45

The last button was v useful
for threads like as semantle as I could just go straight to last page.could this be possible again?

AnneKipankitoo · 20/04/2022 14:01

I agree.
First , Last , page number are all very useful.

StevenTechMumsnet · 20/04/2022 14:11

It does let you do last I think. If there are many pages you see 1 2 3 4 5 6 .. 29 30 or similar - the last two are always equivalent to last and second last iyswim. It's just not labelled "last". If you're in the middle pages of a long thread it should show something like 1 2 ... 17 18 ... 35 36 - so the first and last page links should be visible.

Rummikub · 20/04/2022 15:02

ok useful to know.

i think last button was quicker/simpler. And I didn’t need to scroll to the end of page

Rummikub · 20/04/2022 15:26

One other thing I’ve just noticed ...
I used to be able to click on a post in threads I’m on and it would I take me to that post but that’s not clickable now- only the title is. It waa as a fast way of navigating threads. Now it’s much slower

Rummikub · 20/04/2022 15:31

Sorry to go on. Before the upgrade I could go to threads im on and click on the latest post and go straight there. Now i go to threads I’m on then I have to click on the title then find the last page number, click that then scroll down to the bottom. A lot of extra steps! Could the posts be clickable to help with navigation?

Can you click on the little arrow to the right, which should take you to that post rather than the OP? Takes a bit of getting used to...

I tried that this morning, it did not seem to do it . I’ll try again.

AnneKipankitoo · 20/04/2022 19:44

Ok. Managed it .

EstherMumsnet · 20/04/2022 20:04

Thanks, we are keeping a note of all these issues and will make sure we add it to the list for our tech team to look at.

Ah yes!!
I still have to scroll over though to see the arrow as it’s wider than my screen.but it’s better than what I was doing. Still prefer the clickable posts.

im finding it much more of a strain on my eyes than before.

WhiteCatmas · 20/04/2022 22:10

I think it’s a handy feature and great having it towards the top.
