excessive use of "stickies", imho

there are ten.... not so bad when you are looking on a pc or laptop screen, but on the mobile app it's hideous. imho, obv.

I hide them when the sea of purple gets too much.

Most of them are totally irrelevant to non UK MNers like me so I rarely even read the titles, but then I miss stuff

indeedy BIWI. maybe the Christmas appeal should have a superglue-teflon-coated special bauble sticky that can't be hidden by people with crappy little phone screens like me
I'm off before I out myself as absolutely bonkers
oops too late

I know that MNHQ usually try and restrict the number of stickies to 5, which I think makes sense.

But actually I don't think you should be able to hide stickies. After all, they are stickied because they are important. And the best example of this is the Christmas Appeal.

I lost count of the number of posters who said they hadn't seen any of the posts about the Christmas Appeal, despite it being stickied for ages. Presumably a fair proportion of these must have hidden the stickied posts.

Hahaha!

@MrsShrek3

I have an Amazing Suggestion. Confiscate Justine's pritt stick (and everyone elses for that matter) and stop the buggers sticking so many things on there

sorry SirTech- back late

it's on the active convos. It looks like I am not alone with my Ishoos

it fills my tiny crappy screen.
very impressed if you can fix

TooTabooToBoo · 21/05/2013 23:30

thanks Tech.

This has only been happening this past week, it is a recent glitch if that helps

TooTabooToBoo · 21/05/2013 23:29

you can't hide anything on the app.

On laptop / pc etc, you go to the Active Convos page, there is a hide button on the right of each thread.

if it isn't there, go to Customise (at the top of the Talk section) and there are many options including one to show the hide button.

Make sure you save changes before clicking back to the main talk area.

I don't think there is a way to hide threads on the app. It sounds like the process on our side that sends data to the app is not requesting your sticky preference. We should be able to fix that - I'll take a look at it.

MsInterpret · 21/05/2013 23:12

Is there a quick way to hide threads on the app?

Or any way, in fact? Ive got time...

TooTabooToBoo · 21/05/2013 23:12

I'm seeing them in Active Convos on android app only. When on laptop they are hidden as per my customised settings.

Tech · 21/05/2013 23:10

Hi MrsS, where are you seeing these ten stickies? Is it on active conversations or on a topic?

MrsShrek3 · 21/05/2013 23:04

cheers Julie. yes he is thanku

RenterNomad · 21/05/2013 23:04

Nothing to add on the question of stickies, but just want to observe how refreshing it is to have Android namechecked, rather than the usual wall-too-wall apologies for poor typing because of a "bloody iphone" or "bloody ipad"!

Ginformation · 21/05/2013 23:03

ah, yes me too. Thought I was being thick... Stickies definitely switched off in customise, but still very much present on the app (android, if that makes a difference).

JulieMumsnet · 21/05/2013 23:00

Oh! We'll pass this on to tech so that he can work some magic.

We hope your dh is doing well, MrsShrek3.

I've reported.

Hopefully there'll be a resolution by morning - I'll be back around 4am ish

RedBushedT · 21/05/2013 22:34

I thought this earlier. had to scroll through most of the page just to get past the stickies! very annoying. They lose all meaning when there are so many...

TooTabooToBoo · 21/05/2013 22:32

I think there's a glitch.

Have you reported this thread to get MNHQ's attention?

MrsShrek3 · 21/05/2013 22:29

ditto, Too (but don't have the babybrain excuse)

They're still there on my android

OP posts:

TooTabooToBoo · 21/05/2013 22:27

*I rarely use my laptop as it's crap and takes eleventy hours to boot up.

I use my phone to MN 99.9% of the time. I need rid of the stickies.

TooTabooToBoo · 21/05/2013 22:26

Ok, I have the stickies unselected (?) in Customise, I have done this on my laptop.

However, sat here with my phone next to me, I have just checked the Active Convos and the stickies are still there.

So, I can't just hide them as they aren't showing on my Active Convos via my laptop and there is no function to hide them on the android app.

I am at the mercy of baby brain, please be kind, am I missing something?

probably am

MrsShrek3 · 21/05/2013 22:22
