THIS TEST IS NOW CLOSED
Thanks for your help. And look out for future tests you can join.


Hello all

Any kind Mumsnetters able to spare a few minutes to complete an online exercise to help us improve the site?

It's all about where main content areas (not Talk) 'live' on Mumsnet, and should take about five minutes - just follow this link to have a go.

All you need to do is to sort the 'cards' on the left into the groups on the right. There are no right or wrong answers - and you can create new groups if a suitable one doesn't already exist.

Do feel free to share the link - the more who take part, the merrier.
If you've any feedback, please email [email protected].

Many thanks in advance!

I did it but when I tried to submit it said that I couldn't have more than 10 groups. I created 3 myself in addition to the pre-existing ones. I couldn't be bothered to change the groups to fit the maximum. Perhaps mention the limit before the exercise starts or prevent the user from creating more than 2 groups.

Oh silly me, I read the issue but not the reply so thought I would be limited only to two extra topics. I tried to condense into as few topics as possible for that reason. Still, I think it was OK :)

Oh yes there were a few I wanted to stick in more than one!

i added ' toddler hell'

I would like private education to have its own topic of hell too to avoid the tedious conversations that go on there

DEfinitely agree with improbable re the Private Ed.

There's such a disproportionate number of threads in Education (or Primary, or Secondary) which I open, then they turn out to be about Private Ed - I wish they were in their own section so I could hide it.

" King Eds versus Shitehole Academy I just cant decide'
