New site design being tested!

Missadventure I think you might be in for a long wait I really think it was a huge mistake of HQ to ask for opinions and then not take any notice of even one
500+ posts mostly disagreeing or giving new suggestions and nothing taken any notice of They would have been better off just making their changes without a fanfare or a plea for help and taking whatever flak people gave if they noticed or bothered
It was a huge mistake to whip up excitement and then thrash it down

When I posted my above comment HQ s comment wasn't there I see it was posted four minutes before so there must be some delay

Thank you Lara.
Seems I won't be able to ask for the support I desperately need then. Oh well....

LaraGransnet, that link only leads to page 1 of this thread. Plus ça change etc...

Having a quick look at mumsnet really confirms how clear their serif-free font is and how old-fashioned this one is.
Almost like - modern for one generation and fuddy-duddy for the old dears.
Despite all the expressions of dislike, we've been told we're stuck with. I'd bet a change of font would be very easy to do.
It's also tough luck missadventure and anyone else looking for support as trawling threads for juicy gossip and titillation is commercially more important.

Yes, its a great pity. I couldn't just randomly message someone and ask for advice..

I wasn't bothered about the font but comparing GN to MN does show how much clearer the sans serif one is.

Even if you did that, MissAdventure, you'd only get one person's view.

Maybe you could post a tiny hint of your problem and invite others to PM you? That sounds like a great arrangement, not.

This may have been mentioned but in case not:
Can we have all entries numbered? Some forums have so many entries that finding one you want is very time consuming and easy to miss. That would be more important than the page numbers.

I can't start a new thread. If I click on the appropriate button I just get a long list.

Of course this may be deliberate so I'm prepared to bribe for a change of heart

Thank you!

Very strange - today 'Last Day' brings up over 100 threads, instead of 50 as recently. They're in chronological order, not by alphabetical topic.

And now there's an irritating advert box before the reply box. It's actually put me off posting. Wonder if it's deterring others. Oh well money comes first even if our posts are GNs sales product.

That advert is driving me nuts Jane!

I don't get any advert before the reply box, nor a banner at the top of the screen. Are you using a PC, a tablet, or a phone? Have you enabled "Turn off tracking" and "Turn off pop-up ads" on your browser?

Using a tablet. N luck

I'm new to this thread so I expect this has been mentioned before but I can't find an answer - please can we have a LIKE button?

Can anybody answer this for me, please? When there's a pm conversation I can't find a way of reading and following the two-way conversation. It means constantly faffing around clicking on Inbox and Sent.

Am I doing something wrong or is it always like this? (I'm currently on desktop, if that makes any difference)

Previous response was sent from my tablet without me pressing send! All this messing about trying to get rid of adverts has been very annoying. Think I'll just give GN a rest.

These pages are about automatic ads on web pages.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AdSense#How_it_works How they work.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AdChoices How to opt out

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_blocking Blocking ads

I'm coping with the design.

What I DON'T like is that the adverts, which I successfully got rid of ages ago, have suddenly reappeared on the right and above. Today.

I don't want them. But especially I have difficulty - and I suspect many older people do - with FLICKERING AND MOVING ads. They distract me to the point of turning off.

How do I get rid of them?

I was on Local and tried to PM somebody there to remind her of our next meet up on Thursday but found that I can no longer do that. Is that deliberate?
