Home layout changed

6 replies

My homepage layout is absolutely massive now, I've looked for another thread but there was only one from May where the screenshots look like what I have now! It's just so big and hard to navigate, you can only see 2 or 3 posts without scrolling as the beginning of the posts are taking up the screen.
Has anyone else got this recently??

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your thoughts - we really appreciate you letting us know how the new homepage feels to use. The new page was rolled out yesterday to all users. We know it’s quite a big change, especially if you’ve been used to the old layout, and it’s totally understandable that it doesn’t feel right for everyone straight away.

The new feed is designed to show you active and popular threads more dynamically, but we’re listening closely to all the feedback and will look at what tweaks might help make it easier to use and navigate.

Please do keep telling us what feels awkward or frustrating as that kind of detail really helps us understand what’s working and what’s not.

@BeckyAMumsnet

I use Mumsnet on iPhone or iPad and haven’t seen any difference yet. Don’t you like me? I’ve been very loyal all these years and you toss me out on the rubbish heap when rolling out new ‘dynamic’ shizzle?

#TeamLeftBehindBecauseBeckyDoesn’tLikeMe ☹️😡

Actually @NoCommentingFromNowOn you're one of a very select number of MNers who will from here on receive trending threads via pigeon. Expect the first flock to arrive tomorrow at 7 am... 😉

We think you might not be looking at the homepage - that's what has changed. So please go here and tell us what you think: www.mumsnet.com

Hi all, thanks for the feedback about the homepage, we really appreciate it. We are discussing it internally and will come back to you on the points raised as soon as possible.

In the meantime, it seems that a few of the comments on this thread might not be about the new homepage specifically, so we have a few follow up questions:

  • @EchoedSilence – if you’re referring to thread lists (found here) (“Threads I’m on”, etc.), that’s part of the general Talk navigation rather than the homepage itself. We’ve shared your feedback with the team, but nothing has changed there as part of this homepage update.
  • @meala – it looks like the screenshot you have shared is from a thread page, not the homepage. Does the trending box display like this for you on all threads?
  • @Pudmyboy – it sounds like you’re using the app, and the issues you mentioned are not about the homepage on mobile browser, please can you confirm?

Thanks! MNHQ.

Yes, I am using the app because downloading the site from a browser on my phone proved unworkable, it crashed/froze/refused to upload a photo, whereas previously it had worked fine!
Are you suggesting I try to download the side from my search engine again? Why was the mobile search engine-derived website so impossibly glitchy over the weekend?
Thanks for getting back to me!
PS are there any puzzles on the app?

Hi @Pudmyboy - thanks for the additional info and feedback. Just to help clear up a few of the points you’ve raised:

  • The app does have slightly different functionality to the website. At the moment, you can only give ‘Thanks’ on posts - the other reaction options (like 'agree' or 'love') aren’t available in the app yet.
  • There are no pages for threads anymore. To help you keep your place in long threads, you can use the 'Bookmark' feature - this will return you to your previous spot the next time you open that particular thread.
  • Notifications currently appear as push notifications on your phone’s home screen (on the Mumsnet app icon) if you have them enabled, but there isn’t an in-app notifications area just yet.
  • There are no puzzles available on the app, but you can still access them via the website.
  • When using Mumsnet in your mobile browser, images have a 6MB file size limit, so if your image was larger than that, it might not have uploaded. Also, all images go through a short moderation delay before they appear on site, so you won't see you image attached to your reply immediately after posting. You should see the message “Your images are currently under review. Please check back later.”
  • If you’d like to try the website version of Mumsnet again, it’s worth clearing your cache, restarting your browser, or trying a different browser e.g. chrome instead of safari before logging in as that can sometimes fix freezing or crashing issues.

We’ll make sure all of your feedback is passed along to the team. Thanks, MNHQ.

Morning, everyone.

@Pudmyboy We're hopeful we may have solved the problem of the blank ads now. Are you still seeing them today? If so, could you try clearing your cache? If you're still seeing after that them please just let us know here.

And @FightingInAVatOfJellyBabies , we understand clearing cache is a bit of a pain but you can just do it for Mumsnet rather than all sites so it shouldn't interfere with passwords etc elsewhere. Hope that helps.

Hi all,Thanks for the feedback - we do appreciate you taking time to share your thoughts. We've added the trending box to the homepage on mobile now. It sits underneath the two articles.
