I like that when you start a thread you can choose any of your previously registered usernames. I like that you can choose which topic it goes in. I like that it is really easy to
swap between different ways of adding emphasis.

Anyone else have a positive thing to say?

Ooh thanks, I didn't know all that stuff. not tried it before πŸ™„πŸ€“πŸ™‹
Quite like the multiple emojis too πŸ˜‰

I love that if I bookmark something by accident, I can UNBOOKMARK it!! πŸ˜ƒ

DoubleYouOhEmAyEn · 21/04/2022 21:01

I love that I can go straight to the FWR board by clicking the board link above the thread title.πŸ˜€

All mentioned above plus it looks clearer somehow. I'm not scrolling much more than I used to.

I don't understand why so many posters dislike the new layout. Unless you log in on desktop/laptop (that does look a bit weird), I don't think it's changed that much.

Coinchend · 21/04/2022 21:11

I've gotten use to it already.

ShowOfHands · 21/04/2022 21:12

I really like the new interface too. It's cleaner but recognisable as MN and is faster.

britneyisfree · 21/04/2022 21:33

Is all this stuff on the web browser???

I've seen nothing really on the app except when it all went psycho and was showing posts from 2+ years ago !

Ithinkitsadoughnut · 21/04/2022 21:38

I like that it skips to latest bookmark when I open threads I'm watching. That's so much better than trying to find where I was. ^^

Lougle · 21/04/2022 21:41

I could do all that you mentioned in the OP on the old site. But then I was around before they had buttons for emojis etc, and you had to wrap links with [[ each end, so it was normal for me.

I hate the new platform in its entirety and the rendering of the emojis is really poor, too.

Ducksurprise · 21/04/2022 21:45

Britney I did wonder if it depends on how you access MN. I use Chrome on Android and the changes have been positive.

Why does my app seem to be exactly the same as before πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

Ducksurprise · 21/04/2022 21:47

Lougle I've used the [[ for years but the new way is definitely easier imo. How did you change name before posting a new thread without going to settings?

I don't have to click on the drop-down 10 times before it will tag someone in a thread, it just does it!

ScarlettDarling · 21/04/2022 21:48

The change isn’t really bothering me too much. I have found that in β€˜I’m on’ I’ve got loads of old threads that I haven’t posted on in weeks! Didn’t they used to disappear after 3 days? I preferred it that way.

MrsR87 · 21/04/2022 21:50

I really like it. I find it much clearer and more user friendly! 😍

How do you do bullet points?

StrictlyAFemaleFemale · 22/04/2022 22:25

ScarlettDarling · 21/04/2022 21:50

How do you do bullet points?

Use a hyphen at the start of a line and space afterwards.

ILoveAllRainbowsx · 22/04/2022 22:29

I like that it is much easier to put something in bold.

I like that you can quote a quote.

But then I thought it was ridiculous that these weren't possible before.

demotedreally · 22/04/2022 22:32

This is my favourite bit too

DoubleYouOhEmAyEn · 21/04/2022 21:01

I love that I can go straight to the FWR board by clicking the board link above the thread title.πŸ˜€

This bit!

I pressed reply instead of quote...

KateTheEighth · 22/04/2022 22:40

No pinned threads!

bigyellowTpot · 22/04/2022 22:44

Nothing positive, I'm on samsung android and its shit. And why does it keep logging me out ffs, im constantly having to log back it. should have left well enough alone, if it ain't broke don't fix it and all that it's really shit now I've not been on MN as much cos of it.

plinkplinkfizzer · 22/04/2022 22:46

I like the update too and had no problems with all three of my devices πŸ‘.
