Hiding whole topics

Managed it, after a bit of fiddling around. Thank god for that - the index is looking normal again !

I don't entirely agree, but it's your ball, your rules

As a compromise, would it be possible for you to add a warning to the title of those threads in specific topics, if they won't be moved?

A simple "(CV-related)" at the start would be enough to warn unsuspecting MNers from wandering onto yet another stealth covid thread.

@buzzshitbagbobbly totally agree. It is actually making me anxious to see the number or entirely samey threads peppered throughout the site on different boards

Can MNHQ come on and comment on being able to move the posts quicker or automatically?

As a side note, I was app-only for a few days and was feeling anxious and stressed by the overwhelming number of identikit, panicky, end-of-days tone to every post I clicked on (thread titles didn't alert me).

But it wasn't till I got on the desktop site and hid the topic, that I realised that what the feeling was, as it abated.

I don't have any MH issues or anxiety worries. So if it did that to me in less than a week, what the hell is is doing to people who do suffer the aforementioned issues?

I think a lot of people like the sound of their own voice so much they just have to have their say, even when they only thing they can think of to say is subjective, ignorant, alarmist claptrap.

Omg I got comment deleted for saying it's nuts!! Crying with laughter! I feel I have fallen into netmums!!

What the fuck has happened to Mnet!!! It's nuts a very strange site at the moment.

Oh god .... are we still allowed to swear!!

RUN AWAY WE'RE ALLLLLL DOOOOOOOOOMMED!

And leave your toilet roll

Thank you @MichaelMumsnet!

RUN AWAY WE'RE ALLLLLL DOOOOOOOOOMMED!

But please wash your hands first.

RUN AWAY WE'RE ALLLLLL DOOOOOOOOOMMED!

Omg Buzz sweating? Temp? Coughing? You don't think I've got Spellerisis, do you?

Red "I got told off for sweating on one CV thread!!"

Sweating? Do you have a cough too? Fever? Has your face fallen on one side? Is your speech slurred? Oh sorry, I think I mixed up my issues there....

I've hidden the Coronavirus topic and all the current threads are still showing in my active conversations

Me too! its infuriating! If they are hidden they should be hidden.

Thoroughly sick of all the armchair experts acting like they have the most devastating insight known to mankind, based on their googling.

I got told off for sweating on one CV thread!! Told off for swearing on mumsnet!!

Shows you the Calibre of the posters who post about CV! I would like to have a genuine conversation about it, especially how it's going to effect the economy afterwards. But not at the moment. They're too busy washing their shopping and giving loo rolls as presents!! You couldn't make it up!!!

I’ve just posted this on another site stuff thread but I echo the requests to get posters to post in the correct place for CV. Despite hiding the entire board the topic continues to dominate the whole of active conversations. Can’t anything be done about this? They’re not very quick to be moved over and it’s getting a bit anxiety inducing just seeing the topic everywhere when I’m actively trying not to see it!

Thanks Michelle I've done it at last!!

On a side note it was interesting to see all the topics I'd hidden over the 15 years of Mnet!!

I agree. Such repetitive posts too!

Wanders off to look for thread about cleaning the shopping.....

I'm finding it difficult to hide the topic on my phone. I'm trying the desktop site but can't find how to do it. If I use the link above it doesn't take me to the desktop site!!

I most report about 4 or 5 a day.

Please MMET when someone is starting a new thread, can there not be a pop up box that reminds them that if it about CV that they must put it in the CV Topic.

We come here for a bit of light relief and escape. We want to read about CFs and Parking Wars.

Not about people cleaning their shopping!!!

Please can MNHQ find a way to make hiding a topic easier on the app? The site isn't user-friendly at all and I don't have a home PC so would have to go through the laborious hide thread process at work.

I did it on the desktop site on my phone's browser.

I'm looking to do exactly the same thing. The constant talk about it which dominates the active threads board is just making me feel panicked which frankly isn't helpful.

I am becoming increasingly anxious with all the (often speculative and inaccurate) coronavirus discussion. I use MN to distract me from my worries, and am finding the high number of threads in Chat and AIBU? difficult to avoid, even if the title doesn’t explicitly state the subject.

@EstherMumsnet is there a way of putting a notice at the top of the page when someone is starting a new thread about coronavirus? Something like:

IF THE THREAD YOU ARE ABOUT TO CREATE IS ABOUT CORONAVIRUS, PLEASE GO TO OUR DEDICATED CORONAVIRUS SECTION HERE (link to it). PLEASE CONSIDER THAT THERE ARE MUMSNET USERS THAT WISH TO AVOID DISCUSSING OR READING ABOUT CORONAVIRUS, SO WE ASK THAT DISCUSSIONS ON THIS TOPIC ARE ONLY LISTED WITHIN THE RELEVANT AREA.’
