“Buy Generic Latisse on line” (whatever that is ) features in your discussions of the day.
NO IT DOESNT (apologies for he shouty capitals) - it was spam and reported as such!
Are you going to feature the N Korean eye cream (or whatever) next?
We don’t want a computer generated site - use real people please and engage brain. ????

Actually I'm a bit confused now. But you know what I mean.

Gonegirl Sat 31-Aug-19 22:45:19

Well, that would make sense Monica. But they won't listen. hmm

M0nica Sat 31-Aug-19 22:35:04

Got it. I thought the greying out meant what I was not looking at, not what I was looking at confused

Hi M0nica
We never put the Games threads on Discussions of the Day. But if there are in the top threads on Actives because people are posting on them then they will appear there.

M0nica Sat 31-Aug-19 17:36:03

That doesn't really answer the question. Why isn't it possible to filter Games threads from a list of top Discussions of the day?

Callistemon Sat 31-Aug-19 16:59:07

Oh, can you Blinko?

I never knew

Blinko Sat 31-Aug-19 16:03:49

Thanks to this thread, I've just realised you can click between 'Active' and 'Discussion of the Day'. Doh!

I too have wondered why Games and Spam keep appearing....

Wiser now.

Gonegirl Fri 30-Aug-19 22:11:01

It's the heading that is greyed out that is the one applicable Monica. Makes no sense but still. hmm

NatashaGransnet (GNHQ) Fri 30-Aug-19 22:06:11

Hi M0nica,

Threads that have recently been commented on will appear in the 'active' tab regardless of which forum topic they're posted under. smile

Bathsheba Fri 30-Aug-19 21:37:18

At least, they were when I just looked. There were 3 games threads under the Active tab. Now there's 1. Because we're being active on lots of other threads, so 2 of them got pushed out.

Bathsheba Fri 30-Aug-19 21:35:50

But they're not in Discussions of the Day M0nica, they're in 'Active'. Which they are. Active, that is.

M0nica Fri 30-Aug-19 21:05:45

Why on earth do games feature in the top discussions of the day? there are two there at the moment, surely they should be automatically excluded from 'Discussions of the Day' because they are not discussions

Gonegirl Fri 30-Aug-19 11:31:05

Ok.

LaraGransnet (GNHQ) Fri 30-Aug-19 11:24:18

OK, we understand what you are asking now. But yes, it would likely be more confusing. Thanks for the suggestion.

Gonegirl Fri 30-Aug-19 11:21:17

I don't think grey works for highlighting. It suggests crossing out.

Feel free to ignore me. I would.

Gonegirl Fri 30-Aug-19 11:20:23

This

Gonegirl Fri 30-Aug-19 11:18:26

That's not what I meant Lara.

I meant the greying out of the 'Actives' or 'Discussions of the Day'. The boxes by the side of 'Gransnet Forums' up there.

GrannyGravy13 Fri 30-Aug-19 10:42:56

Gonegirl, apologise I remember Kircubbins thread, hadn't realised it had been deleted.

LaraGransnet (GNHQ) Fri 30-Aug-19 10:12:41

We delete spam threads rather than grey them out so that the more relevant threads can rather fill up those places.

Gonegirl Fri 30-Aug-19 10:00:23

I think it would be better to grey out the one that's NOT applicable.

Just saying.

LaraGransnet (GNHQ) Fri 30-Aug-19 09:51:57

Hi. As you know if you see anything suspect please let us know and we'll take and look and delete anything spammy immediately.

Yes, we put together Discussions of the Day but the tab next to it 'Actives' which we think is the one you're talking about? If you click between them you can see the difference. These are automatically generated to show the top 5 threads that are on Active conversations. As soon as the thread is reported and deleted though it won't show up anymore so if you see anything please do continue to report. Hope this helps. smile

Gonegirl Fri 30-Aug-19 09:47:39

It was a thread by Kircubbin. Harmless. Except it raised headless chicken type panic.

MawB Fri 30-Aug-19 09:31:41

Right!

GrannyGravy13 Fri 30-Aug-19 09:29:20

Gonegirls thread complaining about another thread being deleted (French children)

This will probably be deleted now!!!

MawB Fri 30-Aug-19 09:25:22

This thread has indeed just come up! gringrin
