Why do some topics not move up the active thread?

There is some sort of weighting going on I think. I suspect if we worked it out it is the political threads that are affected.

GNHQ prefer a “Woman’s Own” magazine type of site I think.

isn't woman's own a bit filthy ? or am I thinking of a different one?

I’ve mentioned this many times, as have others.
Some threads weren’t even showing up at all.
I started a thread about it (called ‘Royal threads hidden’ in Site Stuff) and HQ denied that it is happens

I thought that it was Woman Jane.
In the 80s my name used to subscribe to a variety of those magazines, and I remember her vetoing Woman on account of its more risqué content.
I don’t know if Nan was protecting me or my Grandad!

Nan, not name

Isn’t this virtually the same as the thread ElderlyPerson started a few days ago ?!

Woman’s Own was a weekly woman’s magazine with knitting patterns and nice safe womanly things like how to clean the oven and how to keep your man happy - you know the sort of stuff.

BlueBelle

Isn’t this virtually the same as the thread ElderlyPerson started a few days ago ?!

No. His was about the daily email.
This is about threads not showing in the Active List.
If threads don’t show up on the Active List, they don’t get seen or read, unless you are already ‘on’ them.

I’ve noticed that, too.

I started to check threads by using ‘I’m on’, but then I get stuck in a loop and don’t get to see other topics. It’s even more maddening when I find an interesting thread only to find I’m late to the party and several posts have been deleted.

I’ve just seen that the Heating / Food thread didn’t budge when Whitewave just posted on it

This question has been asked several times recently. It was not always like this.

We are not holding our breath waiting for any of the little improvements we have asked for.

Whoops ! At least 5 people posted while I was writing mine! At least this thread is moving fast!

I presume that threads only move up when there is a new comment, and gradually fall off the active list as fewer posters comment.

Katek that’s what is supposed to happen, but it isn’t

No I made a comment on a thread this morning as did someone else and it remains firmly down the list below others with no activity on them.

Test.

I haven’t made a study of this, so do these threads move up eventually or not at all?

Should I test another thread because that worked

Try the Heating / Food one Galaxy

Aye easy for you to say. I am going to look like a weirdo.

But please not the one where I am public enemy number one

Why are there two threads with the same name and the same poster?

It worked Katek! This is strangely fun!

I have asked this of GN twice last week because the photo thread never goes up the active board when I post. There are some truly lovely pictures that people who can't get out enjoy seeing, and one lady gets her daily carer to read the attached comments for her. It is pretty pointless if contributions just get buried lower down the pile and are forgotten.
GN said they were looking into it. I must get back to them with more explanation, though comments here might help.
