Why is there a zombie thread in "Trending"?

[HeartsTrumpDiamonds]

Or is it just me?

Bit puzzled...

[HeartsTrumpDiamonds]

I mean, Lyse Doucet is awesome (and Canadian ) but it's a thread from 2014.

[FruVikingessOla]

How odd. I thought you meant someone had revived a zombie thread, hence it being pushed up into Trending. But ISWYM, the last post on it was December last year. Most peculiar

[SconeForAStroll]

I keep saying - it's the security services doing an online dead drop!

doesn't miss spooks in an entirely visceral manner at all oh no

[DawnMumsnet]

Hmm. That's very odd indeed. Was it only showing up for a short while? We didn't catch it in Trending, but we'll have a word with our Tech team to see what they make of it.

Thanks for letting us know.

[howtorebuild]

Very odd.

Yikes I think I broke mumsnet. I did a search on Lyse Doucet last night on google after DH and I were chatting about her accent and the first thing that came up was a mumsnet thread. Clicked on it. Next thing I know, it's in trending and I thought, how funny, other people must be wondering. But it hadn't been posted on. [spooked] I nearly put something in site stuff last night but couldn't be arsed to type on the tablet.

Is Trending broken? I saw the Lyse Doucet zombie thread yesterday, and now my Trending is showing a thread that was deleted this morning ("to think if your son is autistic")... What's going on??

[EcclefechanTart]

Look! Why is this "trending" at 15.20 when it was deleted about 5 hours ago?

[Boo00100001]

ahhh - Colin just wants attention!

[magimedi]

Trending is broken - it hasn't changed all day.

[GruntledOne]

I must say, I thought MNers must be getting a tad obsessive if they've been discussing the same 5 subjects frantically all day!

[ChopOrNot]

Yep, trending has said the same all afternoon - same as this morning.

[lifesalongsong]

I started thread about exactly the same problem a few weeks ago.

I was asked to try and get a screen grab but, of course, I haven't seen one since

[MovingOnUpMovingOnOut]

Trending has never been right since it stopped being Most Active.

Just saying...

[Boo00100001]

But "Trending" is hip and down with all the cool kids and schnazzles moving

[ChopOrNot]

There is surely only so much interest in washing pillows and duvets....

[vindscreenviper]

I'm waiting for Trending to be changed to On Fleek

[HeartsTrumpDiamonds]

On Fleek?

[Boo00100001]

Well, they do have some questionable choices for "Discussion of the day" which I can only presume is someone's job at MNHQ to pick them...!

Maybe we're all boring farts!

[FruVikingessOla]

Hearts, I think that 'on fleek' only makes sense to those who are about 30+ years younger than we are? I still don't understand it!

[MovingOnUpMovingOnOut]

If I was 30 years younger I'd be at preschool. I still don't understand :(

[vindscreenviper]

Sorry to leave you hanging Hearts

try this thread for 'on fleek' and other yoof speak

[HeartsTrumpDiamonds]

My goodness gracious it's a whole other world isn't it. Great thread, thank you viper.

My Trending seems to be behaving itself now, although not updating all that often.

Boo I have often thought that a good prize for a MN competition would be that you get to pick the DoDs

Trending annoys me because it isn't being used correctly. They aren't Trending, they are just popular topics.

I would support on fleek, rather than Trending but most active is the best fit and was actually correct.
