GAMES SEPARATE SECTION

Just come on to GN. Out of the 58 subjects 41 are games. Does this not warrant a separate section?

I didn't realise there were so many games threads. I hide them as soon as they crop up and never see them again. I used to join in with the limericks but got frustrated when some lines didn't scan. The alphabetical games just go round and round, and quickly become repetitive. I think it's nice that they are there, but I play so many other games on my tablet and phone that I don't need them.

What is annoying is that if I click on "Load more" on the Active page, nothing happens, so if I don't delete threads, on an active day, the current conversations soon disappear off the bottom of the list.

Thank you Chestnut - a chore, but so worthwhile!

It's just so easy to scroll past them, isn't it?

That sounds like hard work 😱

Yes. I always go on Active and just scroll past.

It is annoying though, sometimes on active, it has five games and nothing else 🤨

Thank you. Someone posted it a while back, I just gave more detailed instructions. It's just amazing to get rid of those pesky games!

I love the games, I just don't like that limericks we're literally taking over the games page!

I hide the games but have to be ever vigilant for new ones popping up. It does take time to get rid of them but it is worth the effort as I am not such a big fan of the alphabet.

Just spotted 7 new games on the Games thread! 😩

Now to obliterate them...........

I see that some of the really old games have been resurrected. Was it worth doing that when there are so many games already?

I have just exterminated Alphabetical Ailments.

How come only 5? There are 50 topics in the Active list!!! I delete the ones I'm not interested in to make more space for the ones I am interested in, which then move back up the list into the top 50. As I think I said above, "Load more" does NOT "load more"!

I would love to get rid of most of the games and have read Chestnut’s instructions but I don’t seem able to follow them for iPad. ??

Chestnut Wed 08-Nov-23 09:46:21

Juliet, scroll right down the bottom and you will see 'view mobile site'. You have to go there to make the changes. I enclose two screen shots. See previous instructions. Return to 'view desktop site' to go back to your normal view.

Chestnut Wed 08-Nov-23 09:48:22

I'm presuming you have 'desktop view' at the bottom as I only have that and 'mobile view'. I don't know if there is an 'iPad view'.

Juliet27 Wed 08-Nov-23 14:59:51

Thanks Chestnut. Finally got it sorted - I wasn’t going far enough down the page to find mobile view
