Why do some topics not move up the active thread?

Sorry, my posts are badly written. I'm on a bench in a field with dog.

Ooh, lovely!

Watching husband failing miserably at practising the recall for next puppy class! We will have to get some higher value rewards!

I have noticed this and can only think there is some sort of weighting system. Like Whitewave I think it may be on the Politics threads.

I think you may have got Women's Own muddled with Women's Weekly though "Whitewave*. Women's Weekly (still going as is, I think, Women's Own) was the one that gave you knitting patterns for "Knit Your Own Nativity Scene" and showed you how to bottle your excess fruit. Very reminiscent of the war. It has been updated but still fits the same box.

Ah nice to think we're pigeonholed into knitting and receipes. Because that's all old birds do. Whereas on Mumsnet they're allowed to talk about topical issues.

Although TBH, I'd be VERY happy if the Games disappeared. And the royal stuff.

Hide them Jo
I’ve got most of the games hidden, and the threads which I find upsetting or annoying

I just went to look for the "Benefits" thread Pippa Z had bumped it up at 9.46am this morning and I did two page refreshes on the the Active list and it did not show up. I now notice you have posted on it also FannyCornforth but it was still not showing

I'm with you on those two Gagajo

I love a bit of Royal fluff, me
I grant you the repetition is, well, repetitive

The hand bag thread post from this morning is amongst last night's threads on my active board.
Now handbags carry a lot of weight, surely?

We bump it in the morning
And we bump all night
We bump after lunch
To move it up the site

We bump while we’re sleeping
And we bump while we’re yawning
We bump and we look
There it is GoodMorning.

Never bump Good morning
But it’s always there
Beats all the others
Is that really fair

Disclaimer. It’s a joke.

Nice poem Laura.
Ah, but is it quality or quantity that really matters? Or maybe longevity?

well i have just posted on one of my old threads and it has moved up and onto active. Maybe I should be cleaning my oven though and keeping my husband happy

Btw the handbag thread is a year old

I used to have to use chopped up frankfurters for training or primula cheese

Is this what it’s come to when we clean the oven to keep husband happy. There was a time when …

how do you hide threads?

they are two separate activities in my mind

Laura
I enjoyed your poem, thank you
But I’m not sure that jokes are allowed
It could draw attention to me once more
And I’ll be bayed at by a crowd

Suggestions come & suggestions go
Bright ideas for the site we know
Unfortunately HQ's response is invariably slow
A guarded answer, obscure not clear
To shut us up, what do they fear?
A mass shut down, a forum bare
No contributions, who would care?
They say their listening but it can't be true
Because nothing gets done whatever we do

how do you hide threads?

You can only do it on the mobile site.
Click on the downward pointing arrow in a circle at the top right, next to the Sub Forum title
The option to hide the thread should appear.
You can also ‘unhide’ them, but that’s a bit more of a faff

Oh I only access here on my laptop
I only access my email on my laptop as well
I think in all honesty If I hadn't have been forced to be in my own family's whatsapp group. I could have a burner phone
This is not a poem

I've just put a photo on the 1000 words thread. It's in Active, sixth from the top.

I’ve just had a quick flick through the photo thread.
There are some beautiful pictures on there, I haven’t seen it in months.
Aldom your garden and flowers look lovely.

Galaxy are you from near Alnmouth? It’s in my top two favourite places

I was originally from near Hexham fanny. Still in North East but not Northumberland. I used to work near Alnmouth though, its lovely.

I have never seen the photo thread

Am I actually on the naughty step? or am I just not using the forum properly?

Visible Mums but invisible Grans
Silver shoppers not their brand
The powers that be, the backroom boys
Ignore us though we make a noise
The forum bare might be a plan
If all joined in, woman and man
Then advertisers might complain
That all their outlay was in vain
‘Cause no one’s looking anymore
At all the products in the store
Ignore your audience if you must
But don’t blame us when you go bust
