Why is it that the active thread is not appearing in time/ date order on some topics? Two recent comments today on one thread but it is still a listed below some topics where the most recent comment is yesterday.

Nanna8
Josiannes comments about her ‘1000 pictures’ thread are especially relevant.
It’s a lovely thread of posters beautiful photos (she was called Ellianne when she started it.
The thread was literally not showing up anywhere.
I was also miffed that my Royal Chat thread wasn’t appearing anywhere. If people don’t know that a thread exists it’s utterly pointless!

I’ll read back Fanny. I do respect your views .

NotAGran55 Thu 23-Sept-21 06:52:30

I don’t understand the fuss about The Active list ?
The Last Day lists everything in order and more .

FannyCornforth Thu 23-Sept-21 05:11:58

I do nanna8! For reasons I explained upthread (I know that you aren’t rude!)

nanna8 Thu 23-Sept-21 01:07:29

I know it will be seen as rude and it probably is, but who cares ?

Shinamae Thu 23-Sept-21 00:29:57

0h…….now it has, no rhyme or reason can’t really be bothered any more with it…

Shinamae Thu 23-Sept-21 00:29:10

Apparently not, I don’t know what’s going on with this at all….

Shinamae Thu 23-Sept-21 00:28:39

I have posted on two different threads tonight and neither of them went on to trending, I wonder if this one will?

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

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

I have never seen the photo thread sad

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

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

FannyCornforth Wed 22-Sept-21 11:03:43

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

Aldom Wed 22-Sept-21 10:57:18

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

JaneJudge Wed 22-Sept-21 10:52:57

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

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

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

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

they are two separate activities in my mind

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

LauraNorder Wed 22-Sept-21 10:41:46

Btw the handbag thread is a year old

JaneJudge Wed 22-Sept-21 10:40:46

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

Josianne Wed 22-Sept-21 10:29:38

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

LauraNorder Wed 22-Sept-21 10:15:07

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
