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.

Please remove me from the self scrolling. Jerky and impossible to read

Rainbow1612 · 18/09/2025 22:57

Can I be removed as well please. It's terrible

JoMumsnet · 19/09/2025 11:51

Hi again, we'll get these last few requests actioned as soon as possible.

In answer to the questions about how much longer this trial is active for, it's still ongoing for now. We really want to make sure we've tested any new features fully to make sure everything's in full working order so it's not something we want to rush. We'll update on Site Stuff as soon as there's any news to share.

What with the new "colour refresh" update making the site much more difficult to read, if Mumsnet does make infinite scrolling compulsory, I'll be closing my account after more years than I care to count and I'm quite sure I won't be alone in doing so. How to wreck something that has worked so well for so long...

PLEASE take me out of this bloody group!! It’s horrendous!

Why are you persisting with it? When you have a thread with over 200 people asking you to remove them from the group, doesn’t that tell you that you don’t need to keep testing it? Nobody wants it!

Exactly!

Please remove me from this group - in fact, just listen to the hundreds of people telling you it’s a terrible idea and scrap it!

CrimsonStoat · 21/09/2025 08:08

I guess this test must be over. I didn't realise it was deliberate, I thought something was wrong with the site.

Please leave me out of any future test group for this, it drove me mad, and the thought of it ever being compulsory fills me with dread.

Mrsmunchofmunchington · 21/09/2025 08:22

Please remove me too.
I hate it.
Why was this ever done without asking?
It’s been driving me so mad I was thinking of cancelling my subscription.

Mrsmunchofmunchington · 21/09/2025 08:32

And can I please return to seeing my own post and the OP posts in different colours? Just having a small label on them is not helpful and I am struggling.

I can see my choices still show on my account in settings but not on the pages.

The site has become so irritating to use now I don’t want to pay for it anymore.

I had already been forced to subscribe in order to avoid the gigantic adverts which made pages constantly freeze and then locked up my ipad even if I closed the page.

Now that I am paying I had expected the site to be easily used and it was until these recent changes.

Why did you change it?

Please can I be removed? It’s driving me crackers!

CrimsonStoat · 24/09/2025 10:13

Threads are scrolling again - please REMOVE me from this group!

HebeMumsnet · 24/09/2025 10:14

Hi there @Mrsmunchofmunchington. Sorry to hear you're not enjoying the new look. If you’d prefer, you can still customise colours under Settings > Talk settings and choose how your own posts and threads by author are displayed.

HebeMumsnet · 24/09/2025 10:14

We've also added those last few requests to the list to be removed from Infinite Scroll.

HaveItOffTilICough · 25/09/2025 06:48

@HebeMumsnet I made my request twice before your last post, but I’m still doom scrolling 😭 Please can you add me to the exclusion list?

my settings still show the way they were so I have no idea how to do this

Boeufsurletoit · 25/09/2025 19:56

Please can I be removed from continuous scroll group too.

ColumboOnTheCase · 25/09/2025 19:59

Please would you remove me as well.

TheKingOfTheCats · 26/09/2025 20:54

Please remove me too

VMor · 28/09/2025 17:18

Please remove me from the scrolling

HebeMumsnet · 29/09/2025 10:52

@Mrsmunchofmunchington You should be able to just go into settings and click on the dropdown menus for 'highlight own posts' and 'highlight posts by author' and change the colours there. You then need to scroll down and click 'save settings'. If you're still having trouble could you hit the report button on your post on this thread and we can have a chat off the boards and get this sorted for you hopefully.

HebeMumsnet · 29/09/2025 11:03

@HaveItOffTilICough - we're sorry about this. There seems to be a glitch somewhere as we've definitely removed you more than once. We're looking into this right now.

PoisonCrystal · 29/09/2025 11:58

I don't know if I've suddenly been added to the Infinite Scroll group - but my scroll bars have suddenly stopped working properly. I can only navigate using my mouse scroll button. :( If this is because of Infinite Scroll - please can I be removed from the group. TIA.

Edited to add: Actually it turned out to be because of one of the annoying pop-ups. So please ignore the request.

It’s worked now 👍

Please remove me.
