I don’t like this new “show more” feature. It cuts off too soon. I would really love this feature if it cut off at about 20 lines or so, to just truncate the truly endless posts some occasional posters write, especially on political threads, but this is not long enough so now I’m going to have to tap a lot of “see more” instead of just reading a thread. Photo attached.

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.
