No one asked for it, and if they did, this isn't what they want.

There isn't enough space in this box to explain how incredibly poor it is.

Hi OP

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We'll keep a close eye on your thoughts about this new feature. It would be good to know how you access Mumsnet (device and browser).

Thanks for the feedback on the recent updates! I wanted to take a moment to address some of the points raised and share what we’re working on.

We’ve introduced infinite scroll as a new way to navigate through threads. Instead of loading all posts at once, posts will now load dynamically as you scroll. This approach helps to prevent slow loading times and potential crashes that can occur with large threads.

For users accessing threads via bookmarks, notifications, or direct links, you’ll see a ‘load older posts’ button. This is to avoid the thread jumping around when landing on a specific point. For those visiting a thread for the first time, all posts will still load as usual.

We’re rolling out an update tomorrow morning that will load some earlier posts above the direct link you clicked when you land mid-thread. We’re hopeful this will make navigation smoother, and we’d love to hear your thoughts once the change goes live.

Additionally, we’ve already resolved the issues with the OP post colour and voting settings. We’re also addressing the issue where the ‘load older posts’ button appears incorrectly, and this should be fixed shortly.

Rest assured, we’re keeping an eye on all other reported issues and prioritising fixes as quickly as possible.

Thank you again for your patience and input—it’s incredibly valuable as we refine the experience. I’ll keep you updated as things progress, and please keep sharing your feedback!

Hi all,
The reason we brought in infinite scroll was to address the long-standing issue we've had of 1000-post threads crashing. But clearly there are some other issues it causes that we need to work so we're going to roll it back now and do some more work on it. Many thanks for the input and apologies for any frustration this morning.
