The site has never been better for me (sorry!). Everything is working, it’s clearer (when you get over the change) and more customisable. I really like it.

This new platform is absolute bollocks. I'm gobsmacked it's this bad.

@Inclinedtochatter @bonkersbirdie

Mine too and when I bookmarked it again they are not sticking around. I'm using the app.

Same issue on the iPhone app too I'm afraid! It makes it almost unusable for me and I suspect others, such a shame this update has caused so many issues. I can't understand how beta testing didn't rebeal lots of these glitches?

Cannot see the following in the topics list:
FWR sex and gender
AIBU
Body and Soul Relationships

I can land on them if I google and go that way but really we ought not be navigating away to navigate back? And when I land I often get the 500 error message, all a bit hopeless tbh.

Sorry to put my grumble in so late at night! Tomorrow will be a better day for everyone #PollyAnna

If you open Feminist Chat there is an option to click though to Sex and Gender
But clicking on any thread on Sex and Gender brings up a server error for me

I quite like it, but agree that the trending section doesn't seem to be working properly as those showing are old threads. No complaints otherwise!

Me too. Not having any issues. I am on my iPhone on safari.
My only issue is the threads I have clicked on don’t change colour.
I don’t particularly like the new look but then I moaned when they last changed it and soon got used to it 😂
When MNHQ make changes there are always glitches and people complain about a new layout (me included) and then a few weeks later the glitches are ironed out and everyone gets used to it.
T’was ever thus!

AutumnOrange · 21/04/2022 02:51

And just as I typed that message threads I have clicked on now change colour! 😂

HotCrossTum · 21/04/2022 02:56

I can't post, just testing.

HotCrossTum · 21/04/2022 02:57

Now I can. I've tried posting all day which failed.

@LilyMumsnet when will a functioning bookmark option be returned on the app?
Complete waste of time trying to use mumsnet when bookmarks are not working

Mine keeps signing me out. Then goes back to old usernames. Bit of a mess.

I have 3 usernames
This general one for general stuff
One for a specific thing I know a lot about and give info about
One for a long-running thread I'm on

Can only use this one now and keep being told the other 2 don't belong to me.

password is being rejected too why bloody change it , it’s awful

I've also just noticed that here on my phone I'm in, and stay in
Clicking from an email through to the thread in question I have to resign in - when I do that it tells me my email and password aren't correct.
Think I'll give up for a bit.

I don't mind changes, I've been here 20 years and always roll my eyes a bit when tweaks are made and people protest. But at least you've generally still been able to use the site before!

Itshonestlynotthathard · 21/04/2022 06:11

Is it just me
or has the search function changed? (For the worse)

UseOfWeapons · 21/04/2022 06:12

The trending box for me hasn’t shown anything new for 2 days, despite being refreshed. It’s like there’s nothing new happening on this at all. I’m happy to give it a few days to see if things settle, but my current experience of the new site is pointing to me not bothering with MN any more, it’s not as easy to navigate any more.😕

isthismylifenow · 21/04/2022 06:17

And it's nearly impossible to check the new threads on posts I'm on. It would appear you have to click on the small arrow and not the post. But 9/10 times it isn't working, and just hangs, so I've had to click on the thread name and scroll all the way to the end, to see ONE reply. Some posts are 600+ strong.

That needs looking at urgently @MNHQ.

I'm on chrome on android if that makes a difference.

Pinzotti · 21/04/2022 06:22

Mine looks fine

Android phone
Adverts fine and easy to post pics

Always someone moaning. I love it 👍🙂

RicStar · 21/04/2022 06:24

I log in via Google as I did before but it kicks me out once I close the site before I stayed logged in. Sometimes it kicks me out mid use. Is this another platform just built for Apple users ... off to Reddit for a bit.

milkyaqua · 21/04/2022 06:26

So... I have pages and pages of threads I'm on/was on a year ago and don't want to know about.

However... My watched threads list has been massively culled. Thanks a lot.

Bretonbear · 21/04/2022 06:30

Haven't been able to sign in so like others I've had to start all over again. I've lost all my posting history, all threads I was on etc. And all the trends in active seem to be only about pregnancy. This isn't looking good!

NippyWoowoo · 21/04/2022 06:33

bonkersbirdie · 20/04/2022 19:53

And it only posted half of my sentence. I'm using the app not the website but it's very frustrating.

I’ve had to give up on the app. Couldn’t create a new post from there, and even now ‘active’ conversations are from 2021 and further back 🙄

justasking111 · 21/04/2022 06:59

I'm going to check in now and again, hoping stuff will be ironed out eventually

KimikosNightmare · 21/04/2022 09:14

Everything is ok except the Feminism Sex and Gender board is still loading as a server error

margegunderson · 21/04/2022 09:19

Every time I click on a different thread I get the cookie consent box to tick. Ugh.

UpYourBumHun · 21/04/2022 09:51

Its now letting me login on my old account but messages appear to be frozen as it won't let me reply via my tablet
Wont let me log on to my new account I had to create and now saying password wrong WTAF is going on ???
Have you been hacked again ? Not sure which email to use to contact you now as it's all cocked up, pissed off with it all
