can you get MN LOCAL off the board

[FolornHope]

i dont want to read about meet ups in brislington

[MamaG]

yes you do you nosy caaaaaaaah

[MrsJamin]

Just go to customise and remove all the local ones from your threads list.

[bibbitybobbityhat]

I think this sudden influx of odd local threads is a new thing which they are scratching their heads about over at hq. It seems to be utterly random. At the moment I have got Islington. Have also had Bristol and Bournemouth and many others.

Perhaps they are encouraging us to branch out more and not ensconce ourselves too cosily in our cleeeeeeeeks?

[HelenMumsnet]

Yes, we are scratching our heads (a lot), as bibbity says.

And we are doing our damndest to fix it.

Apols to all who find it annoying - hope to have to all sorted soon.

[SagacityNell]

I currently have Bristol.

BUt it can be different each time i go to active convos.

[Flamesparrow]

How come I'm NOT seeing Bournemouth despite living here?

[SpringHeeledJack]

oooh I like it I do

I've seen what they get up to over in Lewisham

[parochial emoticon]

[RipMacWinkle]

Helen - was there any update on this?

I'm still seeing updates for all local areas appear when I refresh Active. I'm sure I didn't used to have this?

[mejon]

I'm still seeing the full Local list but I don't get updates in Active if that's any help.

[RipMacWinkle]

Um is there something I need to update on my profile perhaps? Some link that's been lost? I didn't used to see all these updates.

The lastest this evening is one from Brighton/Hove. I live near Glasgow....

Hi Rip, No it was a problem on our side. We'll put in a fix. Please let us know if you see this again.

Thanks,
Tech

I've got Mumsnet Local Edinburgh today.
And Greenwich.
I'm in the Midlands.

Hope it's not just me having a problem again.

[PuppyMonkey]

Mine is advertising Billie Bean theatre show in Nottingham on 5/2/10.

[HelenMumsnet]

Hello. Sorry about this - we've been trying to fix it.

Erm, is it any better now?

[mejon]

sorry, I'm still seeing all the local lists. I only want to see Aberystwyth and Cardiff!

[HelenMumsnet]

Aaargh! Will tell the Techs...

[werewolf]

Bournemouth, Poole and Tunbridge Wells.

Actually, it's interesting seeing what other areas are doing.
