Get rid of the games!!

I agree.

yes

I agree too. The most I've counted so far is 25 games out of 50 threads

Same here. Have a separate section please.

I have been here a few years and have never looked at any of the games. However the fact that they are ongoing shows how popular they must be.
I agree perhaps having their own section would be a good idea.

They are taking over the discussion boards. I counted more games than discussions.

I hide the games asap which is easy to do on the phone version but not so on the iPad. Used to drive me nuts.

I hide them as soon as I spot them but a separate board would be better.

We have asked for this many times over the years but nothing changes. I just hide the games threads.

It’s not easy to do on the iPad they keep coming back I have 24 on my newsfeed it’s ultra annoying to say the least
As sodapop says we have asked for years for the games to be a separate forum but for some reason they have never accommodated us

I agree that it would be a good idea if Games had its own slot.

people are not posting enough regular discussion threads that's why people go to 'games' when not a lot to discuss!

I agree move Games to separate place

It’s easy to hide Games on my phone and iPad (for info, scroll down to the very bottom of the active Chat page and click on Mobile version. That then brings up a little downward arrow beneath the Inbox link on each thread. Click on it, find Hide Thread and click on that.)

It would be a whole lot easier if we didn’t have to do that in the first place, though! Surely it wouldn’t be difficult for GNHQ to form a separate Games area?

I agree too

I do all that sueDonim but they come back

That’s weird, Bluebell. They stay hidden for me although I have to re-do it when a new thread begins. I almost never logout of GN - is it something to do with logging in/out, do you think?

I agree.

And that is maybe why GN has not been keen to change things?

I never participate in Games but they are clearly popular and what posters want, so they shouldn't be removed.

No I never log out Sue
I ll try again when I’ve got time it s very time consuming doing them one by one

We are not suggesting they be removed. They should have their own tab.

The Games threads cannot be hidden on a computer and presumably not on a laptop either.

I've just counted 37 active Games threads in the last day. That is ridiculous to have them mixed up with the discussions.

Perhaps this might work.

Go from ‘desktop site’ and into ‘mobile site’ (do this at the very bottom of the page); hide all the threads that you want hidden;
and then revert back to ‘desk top site’.

I’m not sure if it would work, but you never know
