Going back to top of topic

[Pinkywoo]

The last couple of days when I look at Active, or any other section (Gardening, Site Stuff etc) every time I come out of a thread it takes me back to the top, so I then have to scroll past all the threads I've read to get back to where I was. It's very annoying, could you fix it please? I'm on an Android phone, using the desktop site.

Why hasn't this been fixed?

This is happening to me too!! Chrome on laptop. It's really, really annoying to keep going back to the top each time. As someone else pointed out, it's like reading a book which goes back to the beginning each time you turn a page. Not good enough!
Why isn't this being fixed @MNHQ?

Still happening and no response from @MNHQ ? So crap. I really can't be bothered to use MN like this

Hi again, we're sorry that this is impacting many of you. We're still working on a fix and will be back with an update as soon as we can.

Ah an update! Thanks, at least it's being worked on
Please do sort it and do come back to us to update, @JoMumsnet

Sooo keen for this to be fixed..

Having the same problem. Chrome on a Samsung Phone.

Any update?

@JoMumsnet

It's been over a week since this issue was first raised here (and it was definitely happening before that). It's a fairly basic function of the site. I see there is a banner asking for feedback on the new homepage (I don't even know where the homepage is?) Instead of tinkering about with the homepage, maybe MN could direct their energy into making the site usable again? Please?

Agree with @Cancelthecake it feels like the users are way down the list after advertisers and God knows who else these days. The site is dated and doesn't function well with constant glitches and issues, I'm getting really tired of it - I've been here over 20 years but it makes me feel like not bothering when the user experience isn't prioritised.

Also, if you are going to ask for feedback on a new homepage, then surely there should be a link to the "new" page? I would imagine that most users go directly to active/their preferred topic/threads they are watching rather than start from the home page. If I go to https://www.mumsnet.com/ it doesn't look anything like a home page and I can't see a link to anything that says "home". Is that just me?

Edited to add that I realise I am derailing the thread, but maybe sort the basic issues out first. We're "forced" to accept all the adverts now, and this includes horribly distracting moving images in the right hand corner but nobody is going to see any of the adverts if you make the site so difficult to use that nobody bothers to come on it anymore.

Can't believe this still hasn't been fixed?

Are MN HQ actively trying to get rid of users? If you are, it's very effective!

It's still doing it! FGS @MNHQ when is this going to get fixed? It was never a problem until recently

Still happening. Come on Mumsnet! Surely you can do better than this?

It's doing my head in now!!
I'm now more choosy on what I click on because can't be arsed trying to find the next thread I was going to look at.

Im sick of it too! Might have to read an actual book which is what I want to be doing anyway.

Any news @MNHQ ? It really is incredibly annoying

Hi all,

Sorry for the delay here. We know how frustrating this is and just wanted you to know that we're still working on this issue. Thanks for bearing with us - we'll be back with an update as soon as possible.

@JoMumsnet @HebeMumsnet perhaps you could stop mucking around with the colours, which people were happy with and sort out the problems that people really have issues with!

This is making MN unusable - it's impossible to find new threads if you just keep getting thrown to the top of the list every time!

I can't believe they've been pissing around changing the bloody colour when they have a highly user-friendly issue like this.. I'm starting to wonder if the MN technical team are also in charge of my local council with their backwards priorities.

I think I might be out now as these new colours are really hurting my eyes.

Me too. iPhone 15. On app I think. Not safari.

Does it when clicking back to active convo’s. Been doing it for ages.

Yes I agree! Why on earth is MN putting energy into (horrible) site changes like the nasty blue colour when they should be focussing on fixing issues like what this thread is about and making the site actually usable..

And yet you've had time to mess around with and add some really odd colours that are quite jarring to the eye.

I hate the new colours

And I hate the ‘My posts’ and‘original user’ boxes. The colours already do that job.
