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!

If you check your own 'threads I'm watching' it no longer tells you how many posts have been made since you last looked, just the total number of posts, so there is no way of knowing how many pages back to go to catch up.
Then when you have caught up, you can not hit the 'watch' button again to take you back to where you were. I suppose I could unwatch and then watch again, but it takes longer.
Losing the 'take me to page..' box is annoying as is losing the take me to first/last option.

The new posts in ‘Threads I’m watching’ used to be linked and you could click straight to them. Now they’re not clickable links, and the title takes you to page 1.

Local Talk still not working on FireFox

Thelnebriati · 25/04/2022 12:49

I wasn't sure if this needs a separate thread.
I get that MN needs to promote its brand, but the word 'pregnant' is not always used in a positive context, and placing this offer at the top of every thread with 'pregnant' in the OP is not innappropriate.

Whenever I click on a new page/thread/go back, I have to agree and close the “we need your consent” every single time. Every page of a thread. It’s very off putting.

IcedGemsandPartyRings · 25/04/2022 14:05

Just can't post in the App (IPhone). Just says oops try again.

hi @Antarcticant - thanks for spotting. We've checked it out and this was one of our devs testing. Sorry for confusion!

Antarcticant · 25/04/2022 17:02

Thanks for the clarification @SueMumsnet Cake

ifIwerenotanandroid · 25/04/2022 17:16

Haven't RTFT but on Chromebook & site rather than app, using Notifications to go to a thread always puts me at the start of the thread. It used to take me to the last post I'd looked at, which was much more useful.

ifIwerenotanandroid · 25/04/2022 17:18

Also, my post just came up in green, so it looks like an OP post. They used to be lilac.

Antarcticant · 25/04/2022 17:20

@ifIwerenotanandroid I had the same thing with colours - I had to go into settings and change it back to the colour I had before (lilac).

Mobile site, Chrome, Android phone
On Active, if I read a thread and then press back, instead of going back to the title page I came from, it updates every time. So if I go back intending to read a particular thread it's gone.

This is still happening for me on Safari (iPhone).

ifIwerenotanandroid · 25/04/2022 17:40

@Antarcticant Cheers!

chimichangaz · 25/04/2022 17:49

Using the iPhone app and had a problem that 'new' bookmarks didn't work. It was taking me back to the previous bookmark. I discovered if I click the purple bookmark (previous one) it removes it and I can then create a new bookmark where I need it.

Thought I was going mad and not bookmarking properly 🤣

CliffsofMohair · 25/04/2022 20:18

I feel like we are all part of some mass beta testing. I can’t believe the new platform was launched with this level of problem.

SunshineCake · 25/04/2022 20:23

Ipad
every time I do anything I get this. A couple of times I've tried save and it still happens. It is really annoying.

My husbands a dev and if something like this happened at his company there would be hell to pay quite frankly

RomeoOscarXrayIndigoEcho · 28/04/2022 21:41

My bookmarks are still defaulting to bookmarks from several days ago. Help! I've reinstalled app and checked phone is updated.

RomeoOscarXrayIndigoEcho · 28/04/2022 21:44

I'm also getting the colour change on the number bit to indicate that there have been new posts on a thread but when I go to look there hasn't been.

Minster2012 · 28/04/2022 21:55

I can't add more than one picture and then it says it's not posting "retry" but then it actually had so posted a million times 😂it's making things so frustrating

JusticeSystem · 28/04/2022 22:05

Bookmarks not working and the colour counter goes white as though there's a new message when there isn't on 'threads I'm on'.

That's on the iOS app with iPhone 11 Pro

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 29/04/2022 11:34

I was just looking at the thread in FWR on Girl Guiding, and towards the end somebody used italics in a post. From that point every single bit of text in the thread showed in italics for me. Laptop, Chrome, web version of MN.

saraclara · 29/04/2022 12:29

I have my laptop screen enlarged to 110-120% as my eyesight isn't all that. I've never had any kind of problem with that on any other site or forum, but on new Mumsnet, the scroll bar disappears, so I have to take it back to 100% which means I'm peering.

ScrollingLeaves · 29/04/2022 12:32

I think the new search option means it is no longer possible to search out old posts.
