Please remove me from the infinite scroll test group.

Can I please be removed from the test group and have my account moved back to the paginated version? I really dislike the infinite scrolling, it makes it much harder to navigate the threads and means I end up leaving threads and not engaging with the site. I would have appreciated a heads up that I was being placed in a test group and how to opt out instead of being left to struggle with a frustrating and unnecessary change.

Oh wow, I must be in that group too. I thought it was ANOTHER unwanted(by me) change since the app update.

im really not enjoying MN as much as I used to since these changes

toddlermom1 · 14/04/2025 07:29

Yes, im in this group and also not enjoying it. Is there a way to opt out???

cakeandteaandcake · 14/04/2025 08:30

Why do MN keep inventing features nobody actually wants? This sounds awful!

Sleeeeep · 14/04/2025 09:35

Please remove me from this group too, I have asked so many times, I hate the scrolling!

Toomuch2019 · 14/04/2025 10:21

Ditto I hate the infinite scrolling

Thanks to everyone above who's got in touch. We'll remove you asap.

cakeandteaandcake · 14/04/2025 10:57

@HebeMumsnet are you aware that infinite scrolling is an accessibility issue? If you are going to introduce a feature like this you need to make it optional.

cakeandteaandcake · 14/04/2025 10:57

Probably a stupid question given none of your other changes ever show much awareness of accessibility

Roastbeefandyorkshires · 14/04/2025 11:17

Ditto

I just don’t get why you implemented a feature like this without considering disabled users.

I don’t like this either, it makes MN really difficult to use and I don’t like it just being implemented with no discussion or even warning about it beforehand.

Please remove me from the test group too.

Twinstudy · 15/04/2025 10:26

Oh I hate this! Please remove me too

ruethewhirl · 15/04/2025 10:32

Have we been added by default? If so, I'd like to be removed too, I abhor infinite scrolling.

BeckyAMumsnet · 15/04/2025 16:31

Hi everyone, just to clarify something as we can see some users asking to be removed from the test group are using the app. On the app the experience has always been infinite scroll - it has been that way since the app was originally built and there isn't a concept of pages there.

Hi there @cakeandteaandcake we do plan to give users the option. Thank you.

I hope you’ve read the resources I posted?

carrotcakeagain · 15/04/2025 16:38

If I’m in it please remove me too. I’m not gelling with the app.

DMDC · 15/04/2025 18:15

Please remove me too, I’d like pages back

jennylindinha · 15/04/2025 18:34

Same please - I’m using Safari and really hate the infinite scroll! Please remove me from this group thank you

bigboykitty · 15/04/2025 18:36

I'm not using the app and I'd like to be removed from the test group please. I hate it. It doesn't work properly. Even if it did, I would still hate it. Thanks.

CiscoTS · 15/04/2025 19:11

Nobody seems to like this change. I can’t understand why MN would even make it permanent (it used to be optional some time ago).

DrFoxtrot · 15/04/2025 20:17

I’m glad @BeckyAMumsnethas confirmed the app has always been infinite scroll as I use the app and hadn’t noticed any difference 😆

Bluesecretarybird · 15/04/2025 20:52

Can I be removed as well please, it’s really annoying. Makes me leave threads before I want to or give up and only read the OP’s posts.

PerfectPennyKilledMyHusband · 15/04/2025 20:53

Please remove me as well

MolluscMonday · 15/04/2025 21:08

Oh please remove me too, it’s awful.
