iPhone new app - refresh 'active' 'watching' 'I'm on'

It used to be that if I open the App, clicked on Active, I would be able to refresh the thread list by swiping down. That no longer works and you have to scroll up and up and up to get to the top, then the swipe down refresh works.

Something like that - I only know that I was able to read MN while brushing my teeth and easily navigate with just my left hand. I can't do that now. Too much scrolling.

I wonder - did MN gets current users to test the new App?

Hi all,

@rosemarble , @SargeMimpson and @JaneJeffer — would you mind sharing what kind of device you used the old app on?

And just to make sure I’ve understood properly, @rosemarble — you would select Active in the bottom navigation to jump back to the top of the list of active threads, so you could then refresh it easily by dragging down?

@SargeMimpson, we added the ability to preview posts to bring the app in line with our website and because it was requested by users. If you’d rather not see a preview of your post before submitting, you can switch this off by changing the toggle at the bottom of the preview page or by heading to your Talk settings in the app and toggling off the Post previews option.

Morning, everyone,

There's no news on this just yet, but it is still on our list of things to fix. We'll update as soon as there's something to tell you.

@SargeMimpson We just spotted that we didn't answer one of your earlier questions re: not being able to access bookmark etc with a swipe and needing to scoll to find the three dots to open the menu. You might have missed this but we've posted about this issue on the main thread about the new app. Bringing the swipe functionality back isn't as simple as it seems but we're reviewing this and it's on our list to look into further. In the meantime we've added the ability to press and hold on threads and posts. When you press and hold on a thread or a post, the menu for that thread or post should open. This means you don't have to use the three dots if you don't want to. Hope that helps.
