Does this happen to anyone else?

Interesting posts. Thanks.
Think I will make more use of last day and less of Active.

Juliet27 which thread was it.

Doodledog more topics - do you mean "Full forum topics list*?

Sorry Oops, here is the screenshot

Oops if you scroll right down to the bottom of the page you will see the option to switch from Desk Top to Mobile.
The one advantage that the Mobile Site has is the ability to hide threads.
You can hide threads on the mobile one, and then switch back to Desk Top.
This is handy if you want to hide the games threads for instance , and if I’m getting particularly annoyed by a thread, I’ll hide it too

Ok, well I didn’t opt for the desk top site, although it’s on my IPad which is ‘mobile’?

It seems I have all the options though.

I’ve just posted on Hip & Knee (about hip things, for a change) and it’s 3 quarters down the list again 🙄

Oops that’s the Desk Top Site then

On my iPad I have

‘last day’

Active

I’m on (anything I’ve posted on)

Watching

Unanswered

Last hour

All handy but I use ‘last day’ the most.

It does differ on the Mobile Site.
I think the Active List and I’m On are the only options.
The Last Hour function does sound handy

There's also the 'last hour' option which can be useful if you've been checking Gransnet frequently and only want to see recent posts.

I’ve had one or two posts disappear ,too. I assumed someone had had them removed but perhaps not. With the exception of a cartoon about birds (tits) and Harry I don’t think there was anything offensive about them.

Don’t worry - I’ve just seen.
The fact is, there could be lots of threads that don’t even get seen.
I know that there was a photograph thread that was mainly invisible.
Unless you are ‘on’ some threads you don’t get to see them

I found it and posted , but I don’t know how to do a screen shot !

Here we are. I have just posted, and Hip & Knee is nowhere on the Active List

aggie

Are you looking at the time of the last post FannyC ? Not the starting post , I follow the hip and knees post and it does seem to dissapear !

If you look on the Hip & Kned thread, you will see me email to HQ and their reply.
I will post on it now to see what happens.
Sod’s Law says it will bound straight to the top of Active!

I always use 'last day' rather than 'Active '. That way I see all threads with posts on them.

This is a good idea. I might follow you lead, thanks.

Yes.

At least I think I see all the posts - they are displayed in time order.

For example this thread it higher on the list now (last posted 10.21) than the Camilla one (last posted 10.35)
Just a quick example

I have checked the times on threads in the list, and sometimes one that hasn’t been posted on for six hours can be higher up then one that has just that second been posted on.
And some don’t appear at all.
Sorry, I’m repeating myself. Again.

No aggie. You have just explained how it is supposed to work.

But it doesn’t.
It is malfunctioning.
It has been malfunctioning for years.

The Active posts are just that , contents irrelevant ,
if no one answers it is superseded by posts that come in at the time
If you look at the time on each post , there could be a dozen people posting at the same time , thus taking the top spots

Three times I’ve tried adding a post to a thread and it’s just vanished into the ether.

I couldn't even find decluttering yesterday!
