Missing pages - can YOU help us track them down?

[JustineMumsnet]

So, ever since BigTech made his new releases (which incidentally still have a few wee glitches to sort, before you shout) we've noticed that folks are clicking less on all the Talk topic home pages eg this one. In fact you are collectively clicking on those roughly half as much as you used to and we're completely stymied as to why. Don't spose any bright spark out there has any ideas about what might have changed?

(There's a pack of Christmas cards (or three) by way of reward for anyone whose information leads to the discovery of our lost pages...)

lol @ soupy and morningpaper, "under your skirts"?

slut.

Actually here's a thought - when you do a search, the search results now give you a page for every reply to a post - so for example, if you search for the word 'bum' with unlimited dates you will find that every thread that has been recent has multiple listings for each reply whereas the topic pages get one. Not that there is a bum topic - although for a Friday it might be good

ARRRGH brain dead tonight, meant to say:

It would seem to me that if your readership appears to be falling and is not reflected in decreased registrations and usage of the site general it is a miscalculation problem rather than a usage issue.

But look. Set up a topic for 'artichokes' and I'll go hit it 100 times and then you can see whether you get 100 hits.

THEN I will post a thread in the topic and hit that 100 times and see how many hits you have from that.

feck me this is getting a bit technical- i just wanted to see the bargain nappies topic

Tis somewhat tardy to lose pages btw- Who should we report this to?

its still too small ! can't we have normal sized text for those of us who are approaching old age a little short sighted

whomovedmychocolate I think you might be on to something with search - if you click on topic from search results page you get a talk topic number - rather than name - hmm will check that out with Techs...

Oh and we're going to offer a show all messages option in case you're logged out btw - someone suggested that. But will take a couple of weeks...

What have you just done why is active only site stuff. You are scaring me!

Oh not it's not just site stuff but it looks different I think.

Maybe it's just me. Everything suddenly seems closer together and smaller. I think I need to go to bed.

JUSTINE THAT GIRL IS DOING MY HEAD IN

Unusual amount of stickies I think leDodgy- we'll get rid of some in a bit.

Oh is that why? Thanks I thought I was going mad.

So I see Maliboo! Erm she'll be gawn by end of month and we've already told the BBC lot what you think of them - so hopefully they won't ever think of sending them our way again is all I can say.
In the meantime can we appease you with Gabrielle Palmer?

oh justine you KNOW i am to old and past it to give a monekys gonad abotu breastfeeding.

Ok we'll get someone special just for our older laydees Maliboo - more tomorrow I promise.

I have to say since removing www it is loading so much quicker, really BigTech it is, i was begining to dispair at the time it took for pages/threads/topics to open.

I don't know whatchoo lot are on about

Justine can you explain in teeny tiny words what you are asking

I am v fick wrt techy stuff

(boys being wet at night/behavioural ishoos in 3 yr olds/why middle aged wimmin shouldn't wear brown is more my bag)

TVM

Oops, meant to say Thank You Lenin.

wow thanks for the 'no www ' tip ... much better now

Another Google fan here...

But Google may be part of the problem actually... as I use Google Chrome and it remembers which tabs I last closed, so when reopening the browser, I'm a click away from going back to where I was, rather than navigating through the site.

Is Google Analytics showing any change in percentage of users of particular browsers... maybe more people have realised they don't need to use IE
