I posted on the decluttering page at 6.52am this morning.
It is not showing up on Active at all.

No great post! So not exactly a big issue.

I see other GNs complain too from time to time about posts going down the list of Active.
It has happened to me on occasion.

But I have never had a post disappear before on Active.

Not sure this needs to be in Site stuff really. But wasnt sure where else to post.

The main Coronation Thread started by White Wave has now become one of the static / downward projection threads

As Fanny says, GNHQ don't even seem to understand the problem. They don't seem to read any of the conversation threads. I do wonder what they do all day. Most of us here only look at the forums and I, for one, never even glance at all the other stuff on the site. (Much of it is UK centric and not relevant for me).

I imagine them sitting in the office all day writing articles for us old biddies about cooking and knitting and how to be glamorous over 60 which nobody reads, when they could be looking into what we really want to know.

There was the wonderful "Photographs" thread which never moved unless you posted three times in a row to it. In the end I just kept the tab permanently open so I didn't lose it.

grinHa ha! I know! It’s becoming my life’s work!
On a positive note, and so I can put my time to better use, I am applying to become a mentor for children and young people with problems.

Have you been for a swim today BB? 🌞

It’s a sunny day Fanny you’re getting a bit obsessed 😂give yourself a break have a coffee in the sunshine
I know little things can just get a person going but it’s just like the edit button I could spit over that but going to make no difference so I ve have to let it go, as the song says
😀

This was the email I sent and the reply I received.
It was just over a month ago

FannyCornforth Fri 05-May-23 07:46:32

And this is the one that I started.
I thought that threads were being hidden, instead of them just not showing up

Here’s a previous thread about it www.gransnet.com/forums/site_stuff/1307253-The-order-of-postings-when-one-has-just-posted

FannyCornforth Fri 05-May-23 07:36:09

As I said yesterday, on the Hip & Knee thread, you seem to have to post three times to get it to shift / appear

fancythat Fri 05-May-23 07:23:25

And someone else has just posted, and it is in the right time place!

fancythat Fri 05-May-23 07:22:34

Last day do seem to be in perfect time order BlueBelle

I have just posted on the Bijou thread right now.
If you look on Active, it is about 10 posts down.

The poster before me, went in the correct time place on Active.
The post before that did not.

Curiouser and curiouser.

BlueBelle Fri 05-May-23 07:16:29

I m not sure what you all mean I look on my news feed and they are all in perfect time order
I always use ‘Last day’ and on iPad desktop

Calendargirl Fri 05-May-23 07:08:31

I notice whenever I post on the TV Forum, mainly about Coronation Street, it very rarely goes to the top, usually languishes at the bottom of Active or not visible at all.

Not sure if HQ will want it figured out or not.
Not sure we can do it or not, 100% accurately.
If they dont, perhaps they need to tell us.

fancythat Fri 05-May-23 06:31:01

Perhaps the figure is 170 when things change?
Or/and if a thread has been running for more than 4 days?

FannyCornforth Fri 05-May-23 06:24:46

I’ve just noticed that the Happy Birthday Bijou thread is no longer moving, despite having just been posted on.
It was moving fine previously confused

FannyCornforth Thu 04-May-23 16:36:55

Wow! Excellent sleuthing Fancythat! You are a woman after my own heart.
This really needs to be told to HQ (but I doubt that they will find it as fascinating as us grin)

fancythat Thu 04-May-23 15:39:56

Disclaimer before I write this post[or thread] - it wont be of interest to everyone!

Right now, all the threads over 150 posts,[ and including games ones] are lower than their time of posting would suggest. With the exception of Decluttering. As it happens!

The soop one is way down the Active list. About 2 hours down.

FannyCornforth Thu 04-May-23 15:36:19

Ah! Thanks Farmor, I know what you mean smile

Farmor15 Thu 04-May-23 15:31:18

Sorry - posted in wrong order - I'm using both laptop and phone as I wanted to take screenshot on phone!

Farmor15 Thu 04-May-23 15:30:25

I use Gransnet on phone - mobile site - and laptop - desktop site and can get last day and all options on both. There's a dropdown menu on top right of mobile site which gives you the options, apart from 'Active'
