Infinite scrolling

[thebraveryofbeingoutofrange]

Is this it now, won’t we be getting numbered pages back?

It's so annoying, sometimes you just want to go to the end of a thread

Yes super annoying. I want to see latest comments.

It is and it probably sounds stupid but I get a lot of pain when scrolling for any length of time (there’s a technical term for it but it won’t come to me until I’m trying to sleep 😀).

I like the old ways, please can we have them back??

I've still got numbered pages. I also hate infinite scrolling.

Is there a secret knack to get them back? If so, please tell.

Can you no longer just flip the thread?

I like infinite scrolling. I found pages confusing, especially as I, too, like to go to the most recent post, so what did top/bottom mean when the thread was flipped?

I’ll try that. Pray for me.

I swear I am not firing on all cylinders today. I assumed flipping the thread would bring the numbered pages back! 😀

Yes, I can flip the thread, thanks but I still want the numbered pages, it makes it so much easier to go through the topics. And, with the numbered pages you can go back a very long way.

I would like to be able to jump to a certain date or time on a thread. I can never remember what page I was on.

You have to request to be taken out of the trial group for infinite scrolling. Many of us have. It's almost universally hated!

It's another thread in Site Stuff

There's another thread on this on site stuff where people ask for it to be changed back. It's been 'trialled' for several months now AFAIK but mainly with people saying 'don't like it, take it away please!' Given that consistent feedback, it seems that MN really want to adopt it as the 'trial' continues indefinitely.

This one. If you ask on here you should get picked up quite quickly - https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/site_stuff/5314465-please-remove-me-from-the-infinite-scroll-test-group?page=25&reply=146006521

Repetitive Strain Injury, that’s what I was trying to remember!

@DappledThings were posters automatically added to the trial then? How do I request to be taken out of it? I’m still trying to understand why mumsnet would want to continue with something that’s universally hated 🤔

Thank you! ❤️
