It unhid itself!

Scary stuff. I hid the Royal Family topic in exasperation and after the shenanigans today when it disappeared, it's now back and it's unhidden again! I've banished it once more and let's hope it gets the message this time.

Hi all - you can manage your hidden threads and topics in your Talk Settings. Let us know if you need any help.

You rock!

Thanks @YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet

I had to unhide, as it was already on the hidden list, then hide again for it to work.

Actually, thinking about it, I didn't test what I posted above as I managed to get it hidden via the website <smug> but possibly that three dots thing just hides the thread you're on. As the RF threads are springing up like mushrooms after rain in autumn, that would be a useless way to tackle the nuisance.

For me on the iPhone app this was how:

3 lines at the top right
My mumsnet
Open additional MyMumsnet settings
(Need password at this stage as opens browser)
More settings
Talk settings
Scroll to bottom to organise hidden topics.

If anyone knows a simpler way please post as this is ridiculously fiddly for such a simple task. And if like me you stay logged in on app, never use desktop and forgot your password (as i always use completely unique one for here due to data breaches) may require a password reset.

I thought it was just because I’d switched devices.

On the app, you should see three dots to the right of the topic name, e.g. Site stuff, The Royal Family. When you touch the dots one of the options that appears is Hide.

I can't hide from the app right? Really wish there were a way to do so.

Please can someone enlighten us on how to do this.

For the love of all that's holy.

Now the fucker is back.

Went back had another look. Sorted.

Caramelsmadfuzzytail · 10/01/2023 01:13

I've just faffed about in settings on the mobile site and the royal family is still showing😭

Danikm151 · 10/01/2023 01:01

It’s not just me then!

Intemperatefatty · 10/01/2023 01:01

Exact same thing just happened to me. Took me ages to work out how to rehide it again. @MNHQ you really ought make the process of hiding topics more user friendly!

princessjoan · 10/01/2023 00:34

How do I hide it on the app 😱

So many threads!

PriamFarrl · 09/01/2023 23:35

Arrrgh. I hid it, but it’s come back, and I don’t have the option to hide it again!!

I don’t care about him, his wife or the fucking book. And I cried when hue Queen died and watched every bloody minute of the funeral.

verdantverdure · 09/01/2023 22:13

Oh dear god

THEY'RE BACK

Make it stop Mumsnet for pity's sake.

daisyjgrey · 09/01/2023 22:05

I'm on the full site, on my laptop, and I go to My Mumsnet (top right) and look for Settings.

How do you hide it again? I have forgotten.

WhenIAmOldIShallWearPurple · 09/01/2023 21:52

I got very confused when my feed was full of the "we hate Megan" club once more. I've hidden it again. Hope it sticks!

sawthewholeofthemoon · 09/01/2023 21:49

Just saw it read it's ugly head and immediately hid it again. It better stay hid this time. Very odd shenanigans here today.
