Feature update - Threads I’m on / Watching / Started lists

Hi, another quick update about a feature change that was just released.

Following the re-platforming we had a lot of feedback about the threads I’m on/ watching / started lists not being as useful as they used to be.

Changes we've made:

  • The lists are organised by default to show the most recently updated threads apart from threads I started which defaults from new to old
  • There will be a ‘new post’ icon next to the threads that have been updated that will tell you how many new posts there are to read since you last saw the thread e.g. 2 new posts
  • When you click through on the title you’ll land on the last post you read
  • When you click through on a specific post you’ll go directly to that post
  • Deleted threads will still be visible and you have the option to remove them from your list by clicking the three dot menu to the right of the thread title
  • You can still pin threads to the top of the lists using the pin feature under the three dot menu
Hope you like the update!

Hi all, apologies for the delayed response! Thanks for the feedback. Here are some responses to the issues raised:

Increased size of text - we did this because there were a number of complaints about accessibility on this section due to small fonts. We will discuss whether we can make the title more obvious though as it is now the same size as the previews of the newest posts.

Layout - the layout hasn't actually changed apart from the size of the text and the alternate blue highlight has been removed, it only appears now if you pin threads so that there is more definition between the pinned threads and the rest of the list.

Opening threads in new tabs - this is on our list to fix so you'll be able to do this soon.

Honouring bookmarks - Clicking through to the last read post is the expected behaviour on these lists, as the purpose is to show you the updates since you last saw the thread. If bookmarks took priority then it might be confusing for many users who have added an older bookmark but are expecting to click through to read the latest updates. A few users have reported that they want to click through to bookmarks so we will discuss it - we are discussing a new feature that will let you save your bookmarks to a list so you can find them again - this might be a better solution if that's what you're trying to do!

Mass deleting - this is a fairly big change to the feature but we will discuss it and see what we can do!

The ability to click on the heading and open in a new tab is now live - thank you soooo much Mumsnet admins. Getting that live is just brilliant. Thank you! 😘

Thanks for the feedback - we're glad you like it. Smile

Hi there @MerchedBeca . This is unusual and not something we were aware of. Can we ask what sort of device you're on, whether you're on the website or the app and which browser you're using if you're on the website?

If you can send us a screengrab of the list of threads you're on (that you're not on!) that might be helpful, too.

I'm now getting the entire text of someone's post (rather than just a two-line preview) appearing for one of the threads in TIO.

We're looking into that now! Flowers

@ClumpingBambooIsALie can we check what device and browser you're on?

Ah, don't worry about device and browser information. We've replicated that issue and will release a fix shortly.

@LookItsMeAgain we'll have a chat about that. Flowers

Are you automatically watching threads when you reply? If so, this is a setting within 'talk settings'. Can you just check this?
