Ok, we have twiddled.

You should all be able to see it now - in the Topic list and as an option of Topics to include/exclude in Customise.

Bleatblurt · 07/10/2009 21:13

I don't have it on my list either. I had no idea that forum even existed!!

JackBauWooohooohoowaaer · 07/10/2009 21:05

I can't see it either, not hidden, not opted out. All I can see is
Carers (117) Family history (114)
MumsNOT (5) Politics (32)
What would you do? (314) Am I being unreasonable? (24486)

Indith: er, sorry, my fault - making a right pig's ear tonight.

The FSA/vodaphone/Freeview stuff is NOT visible to all; only those who are or were taking part in that particular product test.

BUT you should be able to see Product tests.

It's clear that some people can't at the mo, so we're going to take a look at that.

Indith · 07/10/2009 20:32

I too seem to be missing stuff, I can't see product tests or the random Vodaphone, FSA, Freeview stuff. I have display all selected and nothing hidden.

HelenMumsnet · 07/10/2009 20:31

I know, katz, have just clocked that!

Weird.

OK, will let Shed dwellers know what's going on - and hopefully we can fix this for you soon.

phantom - better a technical glitch with the website rather than the 'intimate massager'!

ThisPhantomPlopsPumpkins · 07/10/2009 20:28

Oh well, at least picking the testers for the 'intimate massager' will be easy.. seeing as we've all missed out on the other product tests, due to this technical glitch .

oh dear x-posts, katz!

And you've definitely clicked Show All at the top of the Topics list?

Actually, Product Tests should really be in Site Stuff, shouldn't it? We see if BigTech can move it there soon.

HelenMumsnet · 07/10/2009 20:11

OK, people.

You need to go into Customise and scroll down to Other Options.

At the bottom of that section, there's a tickbox to Display All Topics. You need to have a Yes there (unless, of course, you don't want to see them all).

Then look up two lines. Have you selected Yes to Put "hide" link on Active Conversations?

If you have, that's fine (and it's darn handy!) but it is really easy to click accidentally on the 'hide' link in Active Convos. So, if you ever can't find a thread, it's worth checking you haven't hidden it by mistake.

To check for hidden threads, you need to go to Customise and scroll down to Ignore Topics In Active Conversations.

Hit the 'here' link and then when you get through to the next page, scroll right down to Thread Exclusions. If you'd hidden anything, you'll see it there.

Helen - nope that's not what i can see, and have checked hidden threads and i only have buying and selling hidden, so no idea why i can't product tests in the thread lists and only when they're in active combo's. Although from the above it seems i'm not the only one with this problem.

OP posts:
ThisPhantomPlopsPumpkins · 07/10/2009 20:09

Yes that's all I have.

No Vodafone or Persil gubbins.

Knickers0nmaChoppedOffhead · 07/10/2009 19:05

Nor have I plops

Out of the list Helen gave, I can see

Carers (117) Family history (114)
MumsNOT (5) Politics (32)
What would you do? (314) Am I being unreasonable? (24479)
Products (30895) In the news (8736)
Other subjects (38863) Geeky stuff (4375)
Pedants' corner (1448)

EccentricaGallumbats · 07/10/2009 18:51

i think the weevils have got into the wiring again.

ThisPhantomPlopsPumpkins · 07/10/2009 18:49

I've checked and mine isn't hidden either.

I've never seen the Product Test topic though.
