How many games do we need?

That's exactly what to do!
Every time a new game appears I hide it. That way the gamers continue to enjoy them but I am blissfully unaware of them and they no longer bother me. This advice has been posted many times but I know some grans haven't got the hang of destop/ mobile sites.

If you use the desktop format scroll down until you see 'mobile site' in a tiny font!
Click on that to switch and follow instructions above!

I’ve only been on gransnet a few months ( on & off ) but I’m afraid to say I find it really boring.
It’s basically a games forum for the elderly.

If you switch to the mobile site view from the desktop view and click on a thread , click on the 3 dots in the top corner and you’ll have the option to hide the thread ! Works a treat with any threads that just don’t interest you .

Can the ones that have reached 1000 be taken off the list, or have I missed how to do it?

I think the games are away of passing the time.
I dip in and out.

I saw a post recently that said the games (or any threads for that matter) could be hidden from view on the active menu.
This is probably the way to go.
Hopefully a GNer will be along soon with a better memory than mine and will explain how hide the
games threads.smile

Yes, I think the games section could be made into one dropdown menu so that other threads are more readily seen.

I enjoy the games but also read the other articles on this website. I haven’t noticed other threads getting fewer but I haven’t been accessing this website for very long. If I didn’t like them I would just ignore them because I suppose it’s difficult for people setting up websites such as these keeping everyone happy.

I"m all for game playing but about half of the threads are now games - or duplicates of games! I think it's getting out of hand; I like to read the other threads, but they get fewer and fewer. Does anybody else find this?
