Why do some topics not move up the active thread?

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.

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

Nan, not name

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!

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

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

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.
