Please turn off “Trending in Christmas” or at least make the red less BRIGHT!

It’s November, not December!

The red is jarring!!

I’m not interested in what’s trending on the Christmas board.

It’s annoying.

It’s badly placed.

Please let us turn it off.

Ah. Well, I must be a Super Special Poster then, as I can't see it anywhere, either on my laptop or my phone Grin
Super jealous. Its driving me bonkers.

It really jars against the rest of the site and fills the entirety of the screen on my phone so I keep blooming click on it by accident.

Yep - mines on the mobile desktop version too. I don't use the app because the Android version is so crap.....

ChessieFL · 12/11/2021 12:19

I am a premium member and I can see the box, on the mobile desktop version (not app).

Sparkletree · 12/11/2021 12:09

I love Christmas but find the massive red box immensely irritating on every. single. thread.

Seeline · 12/11/2021 12:09

For those that can't see it - here it is. At the end of every thread, just above the comment box. It's so big, it doesn't all fit on my phone screen, so the screen shot doesn't actually have the whole thing.

Please turn off “Trending in Christmas” or at least make the red less BRIGHT!

Premium member here. As is the bloody sodding Christmas box...

Here here. It’s annoying af

@BIWI

I'm not getting it on my phone either.
It must be that premium members don't see it because it's still there staring when I'm accessing MN on my mobile. If you can't see it, it must be because you're a premium member because trust me it's impossible to not see it if it's there.

EdmontinaDancesWithOphelia · 12/11/2021 11:48

Still there …

SoupDragon · 12/11/2021 11:48

It’s on phone browsers I think?

Bizarre that they'd put it on the mobile version only.

Dinosauria · 12/11/2021 11:45

Another that doesn't want to read or see it.

RampantIvy · 12/11/2021 11:44

I agree. I don't want to see it either.

Port1aCastis · 12/11/2021 11:42

It's bloody Nov 12th and I'm sick of Christmas being all over the show already there's a whole topic for it so keep it in there. Christmas is in December not before remembrance Sunday!

BruceAndNosh · 12/11/2021 11:33

KEEP CHRISTMAS IN DECEMBER!

I have no idea what this "Christmas trending" thing is. I can't see it!

Does being a premium member mean that you don't see it then?! Because that makes it very good value for money Grin

@BIWI

Has it already been turned off, because I'm not seeing it?
Nope. Still there. You're lucky.

Another vote for get rid
But I won't hold my breath for MNHQ to listen

Chemenger · 12/11/2021 11:04

Given that the whole of “Trending now” is full of Christmas do we need extra reminders that Christmas is happening on the 25th of December, I think most people do realise that it does that every year.

grapewine · 12/11/2021 10:51

@EekThreek

Fuck yes!!

I give not a single shit about what's happening Christmas eve. Please don't force Christmas on us this early, I avoid that topic for a reason!

Exactly this.
OhYouBadBadKitten · 12/11/2021 10:44

What is the point of forcing the Christmas board down our faces? Is it to increase commerciality of mumsnet even further? It already feels like a cheap rag in the way it is presented now, within in thread adverts every few posts.

We have separate boards for a reason. People can choose to hide what they dont want to see. Why are you removing that choice?
