Thank God it’s not just me. I can’t see previous posts/pages. Which sometimes I want to go back to. It looks a bit messy.

I’ve never seen that. Are you one if the elite? Grin

My pages have gone and I appear to have been forced onto infinite scroll overnight. I hate it. Please stop messing with settings.

I really agree with you about wishing they would stop.messing about with the site.

Like a lot of people life is particularly stressful for me atm and coming on to MN and finding another pointless change - which never improves things- just takes away the relaxation of looking at the site.

I bloody well hope not. It’s awful!

I've never seen it. I always bookmark the last post if it is on a thread I think I will return to.

Hello @PinkHairbrushClub - you can change this back to pages in your Talk settings - please let us know if you have any issues.

Thanks for your posts re the pink bar - we're looking at this now.

I also am getting it along with the up / down arrow on the bottom right and the post number on the bottom left that give me the option to jump forward to other post.
This is just encouraging people not to read the whole thread .

TheCurious0range · 16/12/2025 14:13

I hate the pink bar, and the no pages just a button with load older and newer posts, I was part of a trial a while ago is this linked to that? If so how do I get rid of it all?

I also wish when mnhq are rolling out new stuff they would put a banner at the top of each page with a link to Site Stuff and a decent explanation about the 'new thing' so we dont end up creating 100s of threads asking what's going on .

Wtf, I don't have that.

@BeckyAMumsnet will you please pass on the feedback to the rest of MNHQ that unnecessary clutter and random fucking up of settings does not make the users happy!

Except it seems like either not everyone has the new thing, or that MNHQ would rather nobody noticed the new thing Hmm

Thanks. But why are you making changes forcing me into settings. It honestly very annoying. Save existing settings and tell people about a new feature. Don’t just change things. I’ve already had to change this once before.

NewAgeNewMe · 16/12/2025 17:26

Agreed. It’s getting an absolute pain to go into settings to change back.

I agree, it feels like they just want to seek suff in and hope nobody complains.
