Anyone else struggling with the new layout. Why have they changed it?

I really struggle to see the individual threads. I love this board and it's putting me off using it.

Can we go back to the old set up please MN?

Mine has the title in bold and then the start of each thread written underneath. Adverts half way down the page, pictures posters have attached too. It's a mess.

Same here but strangely is not for AIBU where the format is same but Style and beauty is difficult to use as I can read the start of all threads picsetc.. but not just the list of thread titles.

The freezing and reloading is doing my head in, as are all the promoted by MN threads popping up in random completely unrelated topics.

eg thread about integrated dishwashers in Style and Beauty.

Go to talk settings and chose Compact view.

Thank you so much’ mine randomly changed about a week ago too and I’ve hated the new layout. Didn’t realise it was something I had control over. Harmony is restored in my life 😀

Thanks @botemp for the fix and thanks OP for the thread.

This has been doing my head in! All fixed now, thank you.

Lifeetc · 16/03/2024 16:12

@botemp thank you! I would never have thought to go to settings, as I presumed it was nice the standard view so I just kept changing it at the top of the page x

bananasaredelicious · 16/03/2024 16:39

I don't like it either! Will try to change my settings!

lindyloo57 · 16/03/2024 16:45

I didn't like the new format, everytime i read a post, it would go back to the first one , so I had to scroll down everytime, I just changed the format back .

Lifeetc · 16/03/2024 23:23

*now not nice

ByQuaintAzureWasp · 23/09/2024 12:19

Agree, it's dreadful!
I can't see OP posts only?
I can't see page numbers (use to go back to where I have read upto)?
It's rubbish!!

If you want to change it permanently and not have to click on compact view every time you open the board, go to Talk Settings and change it to compact view and make sure to scroll down and click save settings.

@ByQuaintAzureWasp does following this solve it for you?

I have changed the settings but still not able to view page by page, just one long list, it’s awful.

Justkeeprollingalong · 15/03/2025 18:56

Changing to compact view hasn’t helped, still got this weird new format 😞

EvangelicalAboutButteredToast · 16/03/2024 10:52

Has anyone lost the blue menu that used to sit underneath permanently that had active threads, I’m on … etc? As you navigated through the site it stayed at the bottom. That no longer shows for me.

Yes!!

kissing back to active threads has become ridiculously difficult!!

Frazzled2108 · 15/03/2025 22:18

Yes! Hate it. I've tried amending my settings but nothing changes.

onestepfurtheragain · 15/03/2025 22:31

Agreed - it’s dreadful

FinanceLPlates · 15/03/2025 22:39

I’ve seen a thread in Site stuff about the switch from pagination to endless scroll. They are doing some testing apparently with a subset of users. Many people objected and asked to be removed from the test group.

Sevenh · 11/10/2025 08:12

I absolutely hate it! Why has they changed it? It was perfect before. I will genuinely not be able to continue using the site if it stay like this. It’s awful.
