Original poster

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.

Agreed - and I say this as a regular visitor to the Christmas board.

PanicStationsAhh · 11/11/2021 22:59

I love Christmas and the do go on the threads on the Christmas board, but the big red trending box on every other bleeding topic is annoying me already and it only started today!

Viviennemary · 11/11/2021 22:56

It's quite irritating having to scroll up and down past it.

JamAutistically · 11/11/2021 22:56

I agree. Haven't actually looked at it properly till this thread. It's an annoying, giant ad in my way as I'm scrolling down and I keep trying not to accidentally click on it.

DartmoorChef · 11/11/2021 22:54

Please do. Its so annoying.

DrMadelineMaxwell · 11/11/2021 22:52

Really annoying.
I know where the christmas threads are if I want to read them.

Fingermoose · 11/11/2021 22:50

Please get rid of it! The thread titles are boring so it's not even an enticing thing.

Galvantula · 11/11/2021 22:47

^what they said.

Please make it stop. Confused

SixQuidGames · 11/11/2021 22:46

And for the love of god, will you PLEASE move all the Christmas threads to the Christmas topic?

MaryAndGerryLivingInDerry · 11/11/2021 22:44

Yes please. It’s awful.

DuckWithOneWing · 11/11/2021 22:42

Yes, it's far too bright

RaisedByPangolins · 11/11/2021 22:38

Yeah it’s awful. Maybe one line would be acceptable but a whole screen full of red Xmas joy on every thread is a bit annoying!

Berkeys · 11/11/2021 22:30

Yes! i hate Christmas! This stupid red mumsnet box is another highly irritating thing to add to my list of all the things I hate about this time of year! Angry

SirSamuelVimes · 11/11/2021 22:29

Agreed. I love a wander round the Xmas board but this bright red horror show needs to fuck right off.

ChatterMonkey · 11/11/2021 22:26

I agree it totally jars against everything else due to the colour, and the content, particularly when reading sensitive threads.

Surely the point in having a christmas board in the first place is so people can chose to engage if they want, or chose to ignore if they dont want to see it....

OhMyCrump · 11/11/2021 22:21

Agree! It's November. Its just not necessary.

SpookyPumpkinPants · 11/11/2021 22:20

😂😂

I had seen it, but had just scrolled past it as I thought it was an advert.

However, I totally understand it upsetting some people & it does seem insensitive if it's on 'sensitive' threads.

A few years ago when my Dad had died I threw a monumental strop on here about 'Christmas threads in fucking September' (before the Christmas board was set up) & continued requesting they had a separate board for everyone wanting to discuss Christmas in Sep/Oct/Nov... it was all so painful to me at the time. (& I had lost my Dad, not a child!)

I'm surprised MN have done this. I don't really see the point of it & the potential for upset is huge

ThirdElephant · 11/11/2021 22:16

Yes yes yes, yes yes yes
Take that thing away,
It's not even December
And the redness causes pain (AIN)

HalloHello · 11/11/2021 22:14

Have to agree, althkugh I do look at that board but it is bringing non festive people onto threads and killing the cheer...

Rummikub · 11/11/2021 22:13

Oh yeah I agree. Totally confused me
It’s bright red and massive!

HappyintheHills · 11/11/2021 22:11

Agreed - please take it away

TheLeadbetterLife · 11/11/2021 22:11

It’s particularly annoying to see it since I’m hiding the Christmas board. Get a grip mumsnet.

EekThreek · 11/11/2021 22:10

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!

EdmontinaDancesWithOphelia · 11/11/2021 22:09

It’s awful!

I have adverts blocked, so it feels doubly annoying.

I’m not interested in whatever’s ‘trending’, MNHQ - that’s not how I engage with the site - so this enormous poster thing is a meaningless waste of energy for me.

AllTheCakes · 11/11/2021 22:09

Agreed. Who thought that was a good idea?!
