I've never been able to see it either.

That's why I missed the Dyson test. I'd be happy to have one as compensation though? .

I can only get to the Philips thread through Threads I'm on and I only got to the thread to begin with by using the Mumsnet latest link.

I am the same. I only found the phillips one (too late) through Serenity's most recent posts.

Ok, so it turns out I may have hidden product tests, but I have no idea why I would have done that

go in customise, and there is a bit to see hidden things in there.

I don't recall hiding it and have no idea why I would hide it... I love testing crap.

Helen - nope that's not what i can see, and have checked hidden threads and i only have buying and selling hidden, so no idea why i can't product tests in the thread lists and only when they're in active combo's. Although from the above it seems i'm not the only one with this problem.

OK, people.

You need to go into Customise and scroll down to Other Options.

At the bottom of that section, there's a tickbox to Display All Topics. You need to have a Yes there (unless, of course, you don't want to see them all).

Then look up two lines. Have you selected Yes to Put "hide" link on Active Conversations?

If you have, that's fine (and it's darn handy!) but it is really easy to click accidentally on the 'hide' link in Active Convos. So, if you ever can't find a thread, it's worth checking you haven't hidden it by mistake.

To check for hidden threads, you need to go to Customise and scroll down to Ignore Topics In Active Conversations.

Hit the 'here' link and then when you get through to the next page, scroll right down to Thread Exclusions. If you'd hidden anything, you'll see it there.

oh dear x-posts, katz!

And you've definitely clicked Show All at the top of the Topics list?

Actually, Product Tests should really be in Site Stuff, shouldn't it? We see if BigTech can move it there soon.
