Why is there a zombie thread in "Trending"?

Or is it just me?

Bit puzzled...

It's doing it again! The same five threads have been "trending' all afternoon, including one that was apparently deleted hours ago.

Hi all - Tech are looking into the issues with Trending at the mo. Thanks for posting everyone.

EcclefechanTart · 30/10/2015 11:04

I think "popular" or "trending" imply liking, whereas "active" just implies lots of people are viewing/posting. I wouldn't want to "like" a thread where someone is posting for support after a traumatic experience, for example. Bring back "most active" I say!

Anchor I accept that I must be an Old Gimmer, but what exactly is the difference between trending and most active / popular? Surely something has to be active or popular before it can be said to be "trending"?

It must be Jeffery!!

BiscuitMillionaire · 29/10/2015 22:01

A thread I started is in Trending!
It's from 2014 and it's a glitch...

Boo00100001 · 29/10/2015 21:56

whilst we're at it - the deleted autistic son post has been "trending" all day too!!!

ShowOfBloodyStumps · 29/10/2015 21:42

Advanced search is playing up too. I was searching somebody by name earlier (nowt fishy, I wanted to find a link somebody posted the other day) and it repeatedly came up with 0 messages. I even copy and pasted their name to make sure I wasn't mistyping or I hadn't mistake an o for an 0. Nope. No messages at all despite that person having posted on here for ages. I eventually found the post by scrolling back through billions of pages of convos.

There's all sorts of weird stuff happening atm. Bloody Hallowe'en.

AnchorDownDeepBreath · 29/10/2015 21:37

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.

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

Sorry to leave you hanging Hearts

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

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 29/10/2015 20:06

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

FruVikingessOla · 29/10/2015 19:48

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!

Boo00100001 · 29/10/2015 19:03

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!

On Fleek?

OP posts:

vindscreenviper · 29/10/2015 18:49

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

ChopOrNot · 29/10/2015 18:43

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

Boo00100001 · 29/10/2015 18:39

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

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 29/10/2015 18:30

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

Just saying...

lifesalongsong · 29/10/2015 18:22

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

ChopOrNot · 29/10/2015 18:20

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

GruntledOne · 29/10/2015 18:11

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

magimedi · 29/10/2015 16:19

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

Boo00100001 · 29/10/2015 15:38

ahhh - Colin just wants attention!
