A few more for the snagging list

MN team, I can see you are hard at work fixing glitches as a lot of the problems from yesterday seem to be improving (I no longer have the black box over my PMs, or the empty lines at the top of each page, for instance). Thank you for your hard work!

A few that still appear for me, for your reference:

  • On all platforms, Trending and Active are still not working properly, full of zombie threads and not updating
  • On Chrome on my laptop, I have tried to post this thread multiple times and got a “checking your browser, captcha” box pop up on the screen and then a 403 error box over the whole screen and have lost this post multiple times…
  • On Chrome on my laptop, some long links are not wrapping in posts and extend out to the right beyond the edge of the post (see for instance post by @ButtonMoonLoon on this thread: www.mumsnet.com/talk/site_stuff/4534587-was-anyone-on-here-a-tester-for-this-awful-new-site
  • On Chrome on my laptop, when you flip a thread, it leaves the OP at the top (this doesn't happen on the iOS app, where the most recent post is at the top)
  • On the iOS app, when you filter by OP and then click the link to go to one of their posts it always takes you to their first post, even if you're selecting one from later down the thread
  • On the iOS app, old threads have a lot of html showing around where emojis used to be, and line breaks are showing as <br>
  • On the iOS app, the apple emojis are the right size but the MN emojis are squashed, they’re the right width but about 2/3 the hight they should be
  • On the iOS app, posts that have a quote in them are all run together between the quote and the first paragraph of the post. I think a line break is missing between the quoted part and where the post starts. See for instance the comments by @crackingreward on this thread: www.mumsnet.com/talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4534652-aibu-to-think-that-the-spice-girls-were-absolute-rubbish
Hope that helps! I'll add to this snagging list as I come across stuff. And also let you know if they're fixed!

I’m having some of the same issues mentioned above:

  • No capital for a new paragraph
  • Can’t go back to Active to read another thread I’d spotted
  • Irritating full OP at the top of every page
  • Can’t work out which threads have been updated on my I’m On
I don’t think this has been mentioned but my bookmarking seems off. Firstly, it no longer changes the colour of the post so it’s really hard to see where I’ve bookmarked. Secondly, refreshing or reopening the thread doesn’t take me to my bookmarked post. I have to scroll until I find it and that’s counterproductive.

Just posted my first comment since the changes and it came up the same colour as the OP (green). Previously OP was green and I was pink.

safari, ipad.

Click the down arrow next to talk and click on customise. Then choose the colours for your own posts or the OP’s post.

@SueMumsnet I'm on the android app, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling latest version, logging in and out etc but it won't let me post at all :( Just keeps coming up with error message.

MrOllivander · 22/04/2022 22:27

I'm on the app and still can't bookmark

Should add it's allowing me to post via chrome on my phone.

SwelegantParty · 22/04/2022 22:33

My bookmarks weren't working at all yesterday, then they came back, but now it isn't remembering any new bookmarks and is taking to ones from days ago.

Also I'm getting a lot on coding type text instead of line breaks etc.

iPhone 12 running latest iOS, using the app.

Chrome on Android.

  • some threads I try to click on only give me a 505 error notice
  • whenever I click on 'Watching' on the blue bar at the bottom on the screen, the page starts loading and says 'Trending' for a second or two before loading the correct page
  • I still have about four empty lines at the top of the 'Active' threads last, meaning it takes me a few moments to realise that the page has probably loaded *I feel like I'm forever scrolling down! Text just seems a bit too big, unnecessary horizontal lines and a small gap in between every post, unnecessary repeated OP on every single page of a thread, the area with 'bookmark' and three dots at the bottom of each post just seems too big/deep, aforementioned blank lines on the active threads page
SlatsandFlaps · 22/04/2022 22:51

Haven’t RTFT but for me, the iOS app is not working at all! Not even slightly.

Hi, on IPhone and every single time I click on a new page I have to redo the consent for cookies form. It’s driving me mad!

hotchocdrinker · 22/04/2022 23:11

I'm having trouble with bookmarks too.

SquirrelFan · 22/04/2022 23:32

I used to be able to click "show all" for the OP's posts and then Flip the thread. I would be shown only the OP's posts, from the most recent to the oldest. Great way to quickly catch up. Now if I flip the thread after clicking "show all", it shows aaaalllll the posts.

When searching for a thread, say with a key word like "menopause", you used to be able to filter for "most recent". Not any more.

tcjotm · 23/04/2022 02:17

@LoveSpringDaffs thank you! I didn’t realise, the colours just defaulted like that on the previous version so I thought it was an error they hadn’t on the update. I didn’t like the pink but being the same green as OP is confusing, so off to see what I can do. Thanks!

Gladioli23 · 23/04/2022 09:21

Another slight bug - my ability to see watched threads etc vanished with no bottom bar at all for a while and then just the active button. See attached. Appears to be back now.

Android, website, chrome.

DrMadelineMaxwell · 23/04/2022 13:05

In active the first rows are always blank for me.

The op first post being in full on every page has been mentioned upthread and is definitely a pain.

Can't send direct messages.

Also, the reply box used to have the little symbol in the bottom right hand corner which you could use to stretch the size of the box. Useful when writing a long reply as it meant you could see the whole thing without scrolling. Doesn't seem to be possible now.

I miss not being able to post a reply by pressing on Ctrl + Enter.

MermaidEyes · 23/04/2022 13:47

mummabubs exactly the same here! Have uninstalled, reinstalled, logged in and out...Android app just won't let me post. (I'm now on chrome via phone too).
Also, I can't open any links and the posting times are still off for me (so showing that they were posted an hour behind when they actually were).
So frustrating if it means I just can't use mumsnet anymore as I only use the app.

EmbarrassingHadrosaurus · 23/04/2022 14:03

Although my uploaded gifs work in Preview, they don't when they post.

I no longer get a post URL when I bookmark so I can't use that to link to a post on another thread or upthread.

I no longer have Advanced Search.

Chrome browser. (up to date).
Mac OS Monterey 12.3.1

picklemewalnuts · 23/04/2022 14:15

I'm on the iPad app.

I keep getting thrown out of a thread- the road resurfacing/parking thread. It won't bookmark, either.

I've tried going from the end and from the start, and filtered for OP's posts, but whenever I get close to the rumoured photos of the fabled DonkeySizeDogWithIt'sOwnBedroom I get kicked out!

Getting a bit frustrated now!

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 23/04/2022 14:16

Ah yes! I’ve lost advanced search too. Maybe they’re trying to encourage us all to pay for premium.

Parpophone · 23/04/2022 14:26

Any plans to bring back the "last day" option?

If I look at active threads there are only about 50. Nothing I click on loads in a new tab (my laptop settings are fine) and clicking the back button gives me a refreshed list. I don't want a refreshed list. With "last day" I could just go back to that tab and click on the threads I want to read.

If I "load more" on active they all disappear again when I use the back button so I have to keep doing it.

I have exactly the same issue on my iMac . It is more than just annoying as it has stopped me going on the site

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 23/04/2022 14:46

Nobody has Advanced Search now. They've improved the ordinary Search function now with a view to just having that. I haven't tried it but apparently it's much better than it was, but searching for specific dates is currently difficult. However, it's planned to sort that out.

Same here - safari on iOS. It’s making the site mega clunky to use!
