Why do some topics not move up the active thread?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

But does it?!
It’s impossible to know that all the threads are there (if you know what I mean)
Posters are only aware of threads that they either started or are on

I don’t believe it!
I’ve just posted on Josiannes ‘1000 Pictures’ thread and it’s nowhere to be seen!

I’ve reported my post at 7.55 asking HQ to look into the matter

I am in the same situation as you Fanny I posted on a thread this morning that did not show on trending, I too have emailed GNHQ asking for an explanation..?

The thread was fine for ages, then some lovely posters were commenting they were finding it impossible to attach their photos so I asked for GN's help. These posters are still unable to contribute. Then there was a problem because the photo thread got relocated under the Games heading instead of under Chat and no one could find it.
I am not complaining for my own sake, but if the thread is popular enough for certain posters to look for it regularly, then it is important to get it sorted. If it brings joy to just one GNetter then it is doing a good job.

It’s really annoying Shinamae
Who knows how many other threads are invisible?

Josianne I remember that the first 1000 pictures thread was one of the most popular threads on here, and it instigated lots of interesting conversations.

I’ve never looked at the Active thread, I always click on last hour or last day.

JaxJacky is the 1000 Pictures thread showing up there?
Thanks

Yes, but I’ve never looked in it, so I don’t really notice it.

JackyI’ve just seen that it does. I didn’t know that last hour and day was available on the mobile site

Me neither.

I can’t imagine that many people use that function, as it’s a bit hidden away itself

On my iPad it’s the most obvious for me to use, Active is far left, as I’m right handed, never really noticed it.

I'm assuming that everyone is aware that "Trending" is just the last five commented-on threads and that if several people post after you on different threads then you won't appear on Trending?

Also, investigate "Watching" a thread.

I didn't know that Alegrais. Thank you.

I generally look at the "Last Hour" but looking at the moment even that seems weighted with post from the 8 o'clock hour coming higher than the 9 o'clock ones.

The "Last Hour" doesn't seem to be in any particular order that I can see, certainly not by time. Although I'm sure there is one!
