Hmmmm, wonder if we fully considered the nature of Mumsnetters and their propensity to try things out to the max.... still, pleased you like this feature!

You could always unbookmark by clicking again. And bold or italicise using the button with an italic ‘i’. And insert standard emojis. Just sayin’.

I couldn't unbookmark and remember many threads with people asking for it as a function.

WotgunShedding · 20/04/2022 20:22

Oh no, I don’t mind all the other changes but really struggle with nested replies. It really changes the way people have conversations. I’m not one to whinge and think most people get used to changes after the initial upset but I think this will fundamentally change the site not melodramatic at all

I could only italicise on MN by putting the little ^ symbol before and after a word. And it would all go wrong if you left a space or combined it with another symbol.

This will get VERY messy very quickly!!!!

Quotes aren't even showing in the iOS app 🙄

SnowingInApril · 20/04/2022 22:49

Did they add the ability to edit I could really do with that feature?

Tidy .

Ooh it looks like the words will start to edge off the right of the page…was about to moan about the emojis but LOVE that the MN ones have been kept!!

Are they all there? It looks pretty sparse - and I can’t see the Confused face

FieryPitOfMordor · 20/04/2022 23:02

Oh, the typing it in still works!

Testing. I've never known how to quote.

I think nested replies will be really useful when you get those couple of posters who derail the thread by having stupid arguments with each other over nothing. You’ll know at a glance, ‘oh, it’s them again, just scroll on by…’🥱😂

Most excellent, tis a pickle when trying to quote a quote

TracyMosby · 20/04/2022 23:11

EatSleepReplete · 20/04/2022 12:10

Exciting! I agree about wanting to be able to quote just a part of someone else's post though. And yes, what on earth has happened to all the face emojis... I can't see a Hmm emoji. But it looks like we can still type it in... for now at least.

Hmm i think this is an example of why we cannot have nice things…

you are right about the bun fights it could be entertaining 😂

HumourReplacementTherapy · 20/04/2022 23:28

I'm using the app and the quotes don't sow at all (probably for the best)
What's with the poor emojis that look like they've had a hammer to their poor mashed heads?
I suspect MNHQ are on IV Ginthis evening. Squashed IV gin anyway.

Yes no quotes on the app for some reason.

Gymnopedie · 21/04/2022 01:04

I hate it. I can imagine that on a thread that turns into a bit of a bunfight what's been done lightheartedly on here will happen for real. You don't need to see every post from the first one and ALL the replies.

IstayedForTheFeminism · 21/04/2022 01:11

I hate nested replies. So messy.
Don't like the emojis either. I only like MN emojis on MN. Grin

If you want to just quote part of a post then copy, paste and italic it. Tis what we did before we could quote.

EveryFlightBeginsWithAFall · 21/04/2022 02:06

Bloody hell it's like trying to read a thread on reddit 🤮
