Have any old timers swopped from scrolling the whole lot from top to bottom to PAGES?

[charliecat]

Confess here.

Nope

I'm not an old timer, have been here since Oct 06, but I can't bear pages. Breaks things up too much.

I am old though!

Old timer in a lurker sense if not in a poster sense but always read bottom to top (newest post the one you see when you open)

To be fair only tried pages for about 5 minutes but I didn't like it.

Good grief no, tried it and it drove me mad (despite every other forum I use doing it that way) I have it 'original' ta very much.

what Hoochie said

god no
it'd take even longer to trawl through mumsnet waiting for every page to load on my cruddy broadband

loss - at the top - along the line that says active convos there's an option to customise the talk baord. get yourself thence with haste.

NO, I did briefly but it just annoyed me. bottom to top is the best.

dilbertina - RL is overrated.

No I haven't changed. Bottom to top.

definately better the old way but you would never hear me championing change

Read from the bottom up.

old way here

life is confusing enough

Don't thin kI'd count as an old-timer (been here about 16 mths) but to have the threads any other way than scrolling from most recent down is just wrong.

Crying with laughter Quattro, that was genius.

I use mumsnet classic, and read from bottom to top due to habit, but it's so much easier to 'flip'?

I do still have 1 big long thread (i.e. no pages) but I do now have oldest post first so I can read top to bottom.

It is a bit annoying when I revist threads which I have red half of as I would like to see the bit I havn't read first IYSWIM.

It is also annoying when someone says "soandso said xyz below" when it is actually above for me.

BUt on balance I prefer top to bottom cos that is just sensible.....you don't find the Mail writing their articles bottom t top do you????

I prefer the old style, reading bottom to top.
How long do you need to be a member to be classed as an old timer?

I need to have pages cos otherwise the whole lot takes FOREVER to load on my system.

My pages come up with most recent post at the top

I suspect they use pages for some kind of money saving reason, less trouble for their servers?

old-fogey style here too!
