Truncated posts with "show more" (NOT quoted sections)

2 replies

I've just seen this on posts - having to click "show more" if the post is longer than a handful of lines.

Please please bin this off! I want to scroll and read posts without having to constantly click!

And let's not discourage longer nuanced posts by implying they breach some (very short) length limit...

It's awful.
(NB I'm not talking about quoted sections... literally just text posted in a post)

Hi all,

Just sharing what we've said over on this thread: www.mumsnet.com/talk/site_stuff/5551948-whats-this-show-moreshow-less-nonsense-for?page=2

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the change. We've rolled it back while we reconsider the cut-off point, as we agree we made it too short.

The aim was to make threads, particularly on mobile, easier to scan. We'd had feedback that very long posts can mean a lot of scrolling, which disrupts the flow of a thread. We're taking on board all of your feedback, including the suggestions around opt out settings, but we're hoping that once we've adjusted the cut-off point, it will feel much less disruptive.

Apologies all! This was turned on briefly this morning for testing but was turned off again a few minutes later.

We're continuing to look into all your thoughts and feedback and are making adjustments.
