I know I've been away for a bit, but where did this come from in my absence??

tbh, I do find it a bit distasteful to have it there.

not wishing to be controversial at all. But v. curious.

Don't worry, I'm not sad, I'm sodding furious!
If this is all these people have to worry about then bloody good luck to them.
Another British soldier, from a regiment a very good friend of ours is serving in, was killed in Afghanistan this weekend and it makes my blood boil that a couple of people on here would deny his family any support because they don't agree with the government's decision to take the country to war.
If I wasn't an officer's wife, I might even swear...

There we go - once the quotes are gone, we wil be back at the bottom of the pile where we obviously belong.

Pan · 25/06/2007 19:59

yes, and if/when you select last hour/15mins etc, FS appears first when there is an entry..all else goes in alphabetical order ('cept Chat, I think).

Above Active convos I have search for messages.

Anyway i'm prolonging the thread on a technicality and a fairly stupid one at that.

As I said peviously if you don't like it- don't look- that's what i do with threads I don't want to see

Pan · 25/06/2007 19:56

yes, that only indicates when the last post was made - when one IS, it puts FS to the top of the lists.

OP posts:
Scootergrrrl · 25/06/2007 19:53

I think I might have a solution (and who says we're only interested in scrapping??)
Try clicking on "last 15 minutes" instead of "last hour" in find discussions and somehow we're not there at the top.
Don't know how that works, but there you go.

Pan · 25/06/2007 19:52

Hmmm??

above "Active conv" no "Find Discussions?". Odd.

Pan · 25/06/2007 19:51

scootergrrl - I wasn't continuing it. Was only answering pixiefish's query. No desire to go back there.

OP posts:
Pixiefish · 25/06/2007 19:51

I must have a different MN to you Pan as I don't have find discussion. I have active convos and what's at the top is whatever is most recent.

Can't see why it bothers you- you don't like it don't read t- fairly simple

Scootergrrrl · 25/06/2007 19:48

And still it continues.
I'm sorry you find us so distasteful but I would refer you back to an earlier post about MN being "an informative, fun and supportive community for parents on the web."
I am, obviously, a parent, sometimes a lone one, and am in need of as much support as I can get, especially when my husband is on operations and could be killed for just doing his job
I'm frankly astounded that someone can begrudge me that.

Pan · 25/06/2007 19:24

pixiefish - when one opens "find discussion" eg last hour, 15 mins etc, FS is at the top. Though in "topics" it is indeed In The Club. Though the position is not the crucial bit.

OP posts:
Pixiefish · 25/06/2007 07:53

sorry but I'm being really tick here- time and time again NN and i think Pan say they are forced to see the title 'forces sweethearts' as it's the first thing they see when they open talk.

It isn't the first thing in the topic list- 'adoptions' are.

FS is way down in the ' In the Club' section.

You also say NN that you don't look at the threads- neither do I but that has nothing to do with my feelings towards the thread- merely that my dh is no longer in the forces so i don't have cause to (although i'm sure I could if I wanted to)

In the same way that I don't look at the due in July threads- I'm not due in July so there is no cause.

DaddyJ · 24/06/2007 21:52

The Taliban force women to wear tents - no stereotype but sad reality.
You appear to defend the Taliban, hence the reference to your tent.

You reckon you'll find a lot of fellow Taliban groupies on MN?
Would they be allowed to use a computer?

Not wishing to be repetitive but
we support our forces regardless of their mission.

Any criticism is directed at the government,
not at the brave men and women doing an incredibly
difficult job on the ground.

Nightynight · 24/06/2007 21:31

daddyj, I find your posts arrogant and shallow.
I never said that Islam was a race. I asked if you were a racists, as you seem to judge by foolish stereotypes.

There are many people who are affected by the war in the middle east, and aggressive American foreign policy, apart from the Mrs Bin Ladens. And yes, a few of them do post on Mumsnet. I don't think it helps anything, to reduce the issue to a series of Sun headline style posts, complete with personal jibes, as you have done.

I am sure you will reply to this post with yet another silly little personal jibe, so I'll take this opportunity to say, that if it isn't worth answering, I won't bother to answer it.

DaddyJ · 24/06/2007 21:30

Finally, all cleared up then.

Pan · 24/06/2007 21:26

DJ - oh well. Not seeing how we take that any further. And couldn't be arsed helping you any further. Self-pity? Nah. Try not to obsess about me so much. It's dashed unhealthy. Hey-ho.
