Having to click twice from emails on phone

3 replies

I regularly get emails from Mumsnet, and often there's a link to a forum post I want to follow.

When I do this, my phone switches from my mail app to the Mumsnet app (expected), but it just takes me to the main Active threads on Mumsnet. I go back to my email, click through a second time, and it opens the thread. But clearly some sort of bug as it doesn't open the thread the first time - just takes me to the forum homepage. I assume this is a known issue as it's been going on for weeks, but nothing seems to have been done about it.

(iPhone running latest versions etc.)

I'm having this issue too.

Thanks for letting us know. Could anyone having this issue please tell us what device you're using (and model if possible) and whether this is all in the app (and if not, which browser you're on)? Thank you!

Hi - it's an iphone 13 mini, and yes, all in the app. So the process flow is:

  1. Receive Mumsnet email in my Mail app.
  2. Click to follow link on (e.g.) AIBU for dressing as a sheep to a funeral?
  3. Link opens up the Mumsnet app (good!)
  4. But Mumsnet app opens on Active Threads, not the specific link I've clicked
  5. I go back to my Mail app and click on the AIBU sheep thread link again in the Mumsnet email
  6. This time, the right thread opens, and I wade in with my vital opinion on dressing as livestock at a funeral.
