GAMES 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?

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. ??

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.

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'.

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