How do I hide threads please?

When you hide a thread it is only temporary once someone comments it ll pop back up on your news feed again so easier just to walk on by

Not it doesn’t.

At least not on my phone

Well it does for me onmy iPad I spent an hour hour going through games hiding them a very long winded process but they all appeared back in a short time ( not immediately but by the next day)

welbeck I can’t imagine anyone here wanting to read that MN thread but if they do am sure they’d find it themselves.
On GN all it takes is a mention of Farage for people to be triggered with the screaming heebyjeebies.

I can't do links on my mobile but it's worth everyone reading that thread on MN.
I can't precise it here.

Probably not.

Thanks all the same.

It's titled

In the Relationships section MN

It shouldn't do.

It will appear on Active before you log on, but disappear once you log on.

I cannot take any threads on Gransnet so seriously that it would upset me that much, not so far anyway.

widespread?
The statistics may prove otherwise.

Taking the numbers of those who post on social media about the traumas or problems they have encountered is not representative enough to state that this is widespread.

However, it's a a good idea to hide threads which are triggering.

Some words may be triggering for individuals.
So i can understand the wish to hide some thread titles.
There is currently a discussion on MN about creepy and worse fathers lurking and invading bathrooms while girls are bathing.
There is a recurring theme of these men also forbidding locks on bathroom doors.
The ensuing discussion testifies to widespread abuse of girls in their own homes.

I hide all the games threads, they do not reappear when added to. Ipad and phone.

Well who knew😊.

So much better for my blood pressure.

A very useful tool.

Surely you need to look at a thread before you can know whether or not you want to hide it?

I sense a bit of the ‘green.monster’ here. Just scroll past the ‘crows’ . Job done ..

Just scroll past. It's not difficult.

Fgs please will someone explain which threads instead of all this insinuation.
Gaza, Farage? Private schools? 😆
I'm obviously missing something.

Could be Starmer?

Farage?

Does hiding the thread mean there are no arguments against what he says? Or that he never says anything which is worthy of consideration eg re The Chagos Islands?

That's worrying!!

Farage.

I don’t understand what damage is caused by seeing a thread about Farage. I don’t support Reform but I like to see what others say and think. It’s called a discussion isn’t it? If you don’t want to engage, just don’t open a thread which is clearly about a person or subject you dislike. I don’t know why anyone has to hide a thread, to pretend it’s not there.

Just sigh, stick the kettle on and thank the Lord you don’t live in Gaza.

👏👏👏

The voice of common sense!
When I find myself having a moan I stop and think about the women and children in Gaza, living in tents, trying to keep their little ones fed, warm and safe.

Oh, it wasnt clear. Sorry, Gaza threads.

Totally agree with the last statement. Possibly massively over sensitive. Thanks.

Why not ignore threads that are not to your liking?

As far as I know it is not compulsory to engage with every thread on every topic.

Indeed but the cat is out of the bag. You have read it, you are witness to the growing momentum of something extremely worrying and disturbing. The damage is done.

What damage?

The alternative is to live with your head in the sand or to remain biased to just one viewpoint. I have a couple of friends like that and fair enough, but they do seem to be unworldly.

Don’t you think you are being overly dramatic?

If you are really concerned about something you think is disturbing you can either:

Hide the thread - as suggested.

Argue the toss - It’s a discussion forum after all.

Report the thread - completely unnecessary but might give you a feeling of smug satisfaction.

Just sigh, stick the kettle on and thank the Lord you don’t live in Gaza.
