We've just done a new code release and there are a few issuettes - we'll work through them.

Do refresh your pages though - that gets rid of most of the problems (though not all).

Yes, I'm genuinely sorry to say that it looks shit. All over the place, badly designed, horrible to use, a total step backwards.

The last update actually looked really good and was lovely to use; why mess with something that works?

cocolepew · 30/10/2009 09:54

Mines ok again, only thing is the threads I've clicked on not changing colour

morningpaper · 30/10/2009 10:14

Can we have an update?

treedeLivingDeadery · 30/10/2009 10:27

Mine works ok - it just looks like it has been thrown in the air and landed in odd places. I think it's making my menstrual tension worse.

Northernlurker · 30/10/2009 10:28

Yes I still hate threads I'm on and the add message bit being in the text is a pain in the neck! On the plus side it's great to see poster names back on active convos and search works now as far as I can see.

Has Bigtech run away to foreign climes yet? Poor lamb must feel very beleagured!

IdrisTheDragon · 30/10/2009 10:55

Threads I'm on is not good.

There's a weird thing that at the top of each thread the thread title appears twice - once under its topic and then again on its own.

When I tried the advanced search yesterday it worked, but then when it found the threads I wasn't able to jump immediately to the individual post.

Slubberdegullion · 30/10/2009 11:01

It's getting better here. I like the new lozenge shaped preview and post message buttons in seasonal winter plum colour. Very nice. They are new aren't they?

One teeny tiny small thing, which I'm sure you are getting round to, but my name in active covos is starting with a lower case s. It is only ever so slightly irksome but you know, has the capacity to wheedle away and develop into a fully blown weeping pustule of annoyance.

iwascyteenagewerewolf · 30/10/2009 11:11

Hooray! I've switched back to MN New from Classic and it looks sooooooooooo much better, just like the old days (how's that for paradox?) Biscuits all round

iwascyteenagewerewolf · 30/10/2009 11:13

Although my point about the number of posts showing on Threads I'm On still stands

BloodRedTulips · 30/10/2009 11:16

my threads i'm on is still odd too [sulks]

BertieBotts · 30/10/2009 11:31

It's always only shown the last 5 posts on threads I'm on for me...

Justine if you still need an old screenshot have you tried the Wayback Machine at the web archive?

fiercebadrabbit · 30/10/2009 11:38

Hmm, it's still a mess here - aol browser

Too much white space, threads I'm on and last 15 minutes oddly spaced out and search veeery messy

After the last debacle I have faith you'll sort it out but not quite sure why it's been messed with in the first place. Use your profits to have a holiday instead

BertieBotts · 30/10/2009 11:54

Ooh I have got purple visited links

BertieBotts · 30/10/2009 11:56

Although "Talk : Site Stuff" is in purple as well on the blue banner at the top, could that stay white please because it makes it hard to read. And is it just me or is it a lighter purple than it was before?

Sorry if you are already aware of this!

Alibooobaandthe40phantoms · 30/10/2009 12:09

Yes I have the purple problem too now. I like it for thread titles, but not for the topic titles in the blue bar at the top. Can hardly read it and it makes my eyes go boggly

Stayingscarygirl · 30/10/2009 12:15

'The purple problem...' - sounds like something you need to get some Special Cream for, from the doctor. [serious face emoticon]

cocolepew · 30/10/2009 12:16

Threads changed colour now.

TheDevilEatsBabies · 30/10/2009 12:27

yes!
as if by magic it's gone back to normal!!

thanks Tech!

tvaerialmagpiebin · 30/10/2009 12:36

In active convos, the thead title is still tied to the topic

e.g. _chat: why is this happening?

You can only click on that particular thread, not separately on _chat or on why is this happening

There is still the issue with the last post in a thread having no barrier between it and Add your message here

At the top of the page, there is duplication of the thread title being seems unnecessary.

tvaerialmagpiebin · 30/10/2009 12:37

oh the italics and bold didn't work - hmm, I had the *s and ^s in the right places... is this a bug too?

Pinkjenny · 30/10/2009 12:38

Search still not working. When you click on a thread title after you have put in your keywords, it brings up Active Convos.

theyoungvisiter · 30/10/2009 13:05

still too much white space here.

Also still only showing 4 previous messages in Threads I'm On, even if there have been far more since you last posted.

Is this going to be a permanent change?

On the plus side, thread titles in Threads I'm On now going purple which is great as I missed this for the last few months.

RustyBat · 30/10/2009 13:35

lankyalto - you need your at each end of every^ word* , not at each end of the phrase.

aristoBLACKcat · 30/10/2009 14:02
