Before MN decided to stop trying to make Local happen I’d get Local threads for my area appearing on Active. So assuming I lived in Bath I’d get
Local - Bath
Campaign to save the local library - meeting on Saturday 11th!
Now you’ve changed I get Local posts from everywhere cropping up in Active with not a clue as to where they refer to. So I’ll see an intriguing thread
Local
Free tickets available to see Aidan Turner’s new one man play - Warning: contains nudity.
And I’ll click on it to see a cryptic reference to event taking place at St John’s church hall or St Peter’s C of E Primary School and eventually work out that it’s in Inverness.
If you’re going to display all Local posts to everyone then can you at least display what area they’re on in the summary please?

Local threads on Active are really annoying

OutsideContextProblem you're right and we're sorry - it must have been hugely frustrating, missing the Aidan Turner thing. Inverness gets all the luck. 
This is to do with the fact that the URLs are now dynamic, a result of being able to specify 'within' 5/10 miles etc when you search. It's on our Big List of things to do already so will be fixed eventually. It might take a few months though, so apols in the meantime for the inconvenience. If we hear that he's coming to Bath, we'll DM you.
The other really (really) annoying thing about the Local threads is that if you happen to see a relevant one on Active conversations and try to reply to it in the App (and do a long, helpful reply 
), it DOESN'T POST 
(yes, I am shouting!).
...I was so pissed off that I didn't fully explain that not only does it. Not. Post. But the post disappears into the ether. At least, I presume it does as it's not showing up in "Threads I'm On" - and annoyingly, I can remember it happening before but that time I just thought I'd forgotten to post before exiting the App

I've just tried posting on that Local thread which is now on "Threads I'm on" (because I had deliberately gone to my laptop) from my phone via the app and although it claims to have successfully posted, it has yet again disappeared into the ether.
I'd deliberately made it a short post though so as not to waste my time and to save my blood pressure !
I'm currently on my phone so can't post links! But I will so when I'm next on my laptop.
I posted on two local threads on Monday (after re-writing my long disappeared into the ether post for one of them 
) on Monday from my laptop.
I now know not to bother replying to any Local thread until I'm back on my laptop - but this morning, just out of curiosity, tried doing so from the App. It claimed to have posted successfully, but as before, it has disappeared into the ether. Interestingly, it has registered enough to appear irritatingly again on "Watched" threads (have to keep on unwatching threads I post on: it's a useless duplication of "threads I'm on" to add them automatically to watched threads
but that's a different rant )
