or are we all doing it?
I only normally hide ones that have titles that get to me.
but there seem to be so many on the same topics, that I am hiding so many at the moment .
am I the only one?

I hide loads, it's so ingrained in me that I often hide threads I'm interested in then wonder WTF they've gone Grin

I am just hiding the repeats.
you know what I mean.
I get bored by opening a thread and finding it is yet another one about the same subject, so I hide all but the one that is least shitty

I do it as well, usually if it is one thread on a subject I can ignore it, but when there are (seemingly) hundreds on the same subject I spend a lot of time hitting hide. The olympics/royal wedding almost wore the hide button out for me.

I hide a few AIBUs when they're getting too hurtful or argumentative in a personal way. Also if someone's having a go if they've misunderstood something or get on their high horse. Life's too short :o

Isn't it a bit cluttered worra?

I can't stand reading the titles of the one's I'm not interested in again and again, it does my nut in.

You can't hide threads on the Ap it's very, very annoying.

And very naughty of a dyslexic to make Fred jokes. It's just I always type fing for thing and feel a twit.

This might be me being Fick, but I thought you could only hide them from active convos and your own lists...not actually from AIBU itself, or whatever...

Assuming you know which board it was on, say AIBU, go back on main AIBU list, find it then click watch. If you can't find it that way, use the Advanced Search option top right of screen.

I only ever access MN through iPhone so I guess that's me seeing every Fred possible for the foreseeable!!!

I used to hide threads, but you'd have to actually open the thread, click on 'hide' and then wait for the reload before then navigating back to the main title list... and that's too much work.

I wish you could select threads to hide on the title list.

Me too Boom sometimes I trawl AIBU, and click on one with an ambiguous title and am ENRAGED when its a dull one I have seen before!

Grin at doughnutting on a thread.

Mercury - Under 'Mumsnet Talk' banner click on 'customise', under 'Ignore topics in Active Conversations' at nearly the bottom of the page click the 'here' link in the sentence and scroll down to the one you want to 'show'.

I only ever hide them out of sheer boredom. I nearly got pushed over the edge with the bloody endless "would you give seat to a child on a train" one most recently, but it finally tailed off, thank christ, after absolutely everybody in the world including me had set out their precise parameters and insisted that they were the only ones that would pertain in any decent society.

I thought this was going to be about The little chocolate bars and how OP was hiding them from her children.
