Getting really p'd off with bookmarks not working/working sporadically

Just that.

What's going on?

Mine too

And me. Very annoying on long threads.

Previously I never used Bookmarks, but I'm trying them now because since the change the site is ridiculously slow loading or flipping very long threads.

But they aren't working properly and it's so frustrating.

On another subject, I can't see my PMs either, just get an Error 500 message.

I quite liked the changes at first, but I'm not so sure now.

Me too, It’s infuriating.

Tidypidy · 23/04/2022 17:03

Me too. Very annoying on long threads. Some of my watched threads keep disappearing too.

SeaRabbit · 23/04/2022 17:08

Me too. They need to sack the developers, go back to the old site, and get some people in who know what they're doing and do proper testing.

HappyKatieA · 23/04/2022 17:11

Yup, me too.

annonymousse · 23/04/2022 17:26

Me too. And certain threads crashing every time I try and read them. The parking one is unreadable as it's so long, bookmark doesn't work and as soon as I get to a certain point it crashes. Every time 🙁

IloveJudgeJudy · 23/04/2022 20:14

Me, too. I've just started a thread of my own about the exact same thing. It's infuriating.

IloveJudgeJudy · 23/04/2022 20:15

The throwing me out also happened to me on a different thread by I can't remember which one.

Same here. This is so aggravating.

hi all - sorry this is still happening - we'll get into it next week and get it sorted - if you can just bear with us for a little longer.

SmallPrawnEnergy · 23/04/2022 21:04

MN coders are useless is what’s wrong. Why push a web change with so many bugs is beyond me.

PennyRoyal · 23/04/2022 21:11

I'm actually giving up. It's just not workable on the long threads and I've lost all flow of those conversations now.

Sorry @mumsnet but these issues are fundamental in a site that works with long running threads as you do.

BlackeyedSusan · 23/04/2022 22:40

Yep, bloody nightmare. You have no idea whether it will accept a click first time, random lengths of time for unbookmark to appear, whether reclicking will unbookmark or make the bookmark appear this time. Really slow taking you to bookmark point. Having to go in and out the thread several times to find your place.

sogoodyousee · 23/04/2022 22:45

The bookmarks work on laptop better. App is terrible and keeps crashing. Also having to flip threads and keep losing track.

TidyDancer · 24/04/2022 07:07

Yep this is happening to me too. The bookmarks seem to default back to my own posts if I've bookmarked them. Very annoying.

CatWithARabbit · 24/04/2022 07:12

Yes me too. Am finding this really frustrating!

I cannot comment on threads unless I'm quoting someone. Very annoying.

sogoodyousee · 25/04/2022 11:18

It's really annoying now. It's also showing new posts on 'threads I'm on' when there aren't any. The first bookmark seems to work, but it doesn't allow you to change it, it reverts back to the original bookmark when you click back on the thread.
This is on the app.

Exactly what I've got happening. So annoying.

TheNewUpdateIsShit · 25/04/2022 15:43

It's pretty unusable now.
I click here several times during the day and then remember nothing's working. Long running threads I'm on are impossible to follow now.
Why change something when the update was obviously not ready? It's so annoying.

sogoodyousee · 25/04/2022 15:55

It's still not working. I'm having to flip threads to read the latest post, as the bookmarks don't work, and then read backwards. Makes it hard to follow.

Yes same here it's infuriating

SpindleInTheWind · 25/04/2022 16:01

Bookmarking is very hit and miss today, for me.

SickAndTiredAgain · 25/04/2022 16:06

I've found it works if, when you click on a thread you've bookmarked, unbookmark that comment, and then bookmark the new one that you want.

Annoying though.
