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.

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.

@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.

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

Thanks, all. We'll remove everyone who's asked up until this point. Please let us know here if you would also like to be removed from the test group and we'll sort that asap.

Thanks, all. We'll be removing everyone who's requested withdrawal from the test group (and adding those who've said they'd like to try it).

Morning, everyone.

We've made a note of all the names of those who have asked to be removed. It won't be instant but we're on the case.

We can see there are a few of you who have been removed before but are still on infinite scroll, so we'll check those accounts again very carefully. We did just want to check though that you are all on the main site. We had some confusion last week as a few people didn't realise that there was no option for pages on the app. So if you're using the app none of this will apply to you, but if not we hope to have it sorted very soon.

Morning @1clavdivs. We did check on your status and you aren't actually in the infinite scroll group, so you should just be able to change this in your settings and choose '50 posts per page' or whatever suits there. Drop us a line (maybe just click on one of your posts and report it) if you're still having trouble and we can take a look.

PS - Everyone else who has asked up to this point should be removed shortly.

OK, here is one really annoying consequence of this infinite scrolling. I wanted to go back and look at the first couple of posts under the original as there were links I wanted to read. But all I get the option to 'load older posts'. I don't want to see all the older posts bit by bit, each time I click on the button. I just want to see the posts in the order they were posted!

I know you said the App has always been infinite scrolling, but in the new one it does something similar where by if I have bookmarked a post, and then want to see what the most recents posts on that thread were, the reverse button doesn't work. It just takes me back to my post all the time. It's SO ANNOYING!

@blankittyblank thanks for this feedback. Just in case you weren't aware, you can jump to the top of a thread by clicking the three dot menu at the top right of posts and click 'jump to top'.

We're working on these points to improve them, so this is all very useful feedback.

@JumpingJill

Re. this point of your post -

Why cant you just let people manually select how many posts they want to read per page? And also add a “jump to end” button for those who do want infinite scrolling.

There is a jump to end button - it's not very visible but we're planning to make it more visible, so thanks for flagging this to us.
