Is it possible? I may have to just stop coming on mumsnet!

It would help if people posted in the bloody CV section instead of everywhere else

MoonahStone · 14/03/2020 22:23

I asked this in site stuff and got instructions on how to do it - search my name to did the thread.

Redshoeblueshoe · 14/03/2020 22:27

Yes thanks to Moonah I managed to hide it, but as they're all over trending you have to ignore trending Angry

Thanks! 😁

Thankyou so much for this. I have just successfully hidden the topic.

Redshoeblueshoe · 14/03/2020 22:52

Just going through Active and there's currently 10 threads about CV in different topics 🍷
I suppose it's better than 500 threads about it

BananaBang · 14/03/2020 22:54

I don't have a laptop - just an iPhone and iPad. Please - for the love of all that is holy - tell me how to hide some topics such as the Corona one

I hear you OP - I cannot come on here any longer if I don't hide some topics. Not due to shaky mental health or anything - just literally can't stand the scaremongering

MelAndShoe · 14/03/2020 22:56

@BananaBang switch to desktop mode/view or something. Works then

BananaBang · 14/03/2020 22:57

So google mumsnet and try boa that? I did attempt it last week when there was only about, oh, a million corona threads and couldn't see how to hide but I'll give it another go thank you

Toria70 · 14/03/2020 23:04

It's relentless, I asked the same question in sitestuff the other day.

They have their own bloody dedicated section for their panic buying and woe is me crap.

I feel like replying on quite a few saying WE DON'T ALL HAVE CHRONIC HEALTH ANXIETY THANK YOU AND LIFE GOES ON. But I'm refraining as frankly you can't fix stupid. And you'll send yourself mad trying Grin

RossPoldarksChest · 14/03/2020 23:11

Finally! 301 topics/ sections/ whatever are hidden for me!!!

Question: if I switch back to android view on my phone now, will it keep the settings? It's bloody annoying trying to use the site on my phone now.

BananaBang · 14/03/2020 23:12

Ah thank you! I've done it

Honestly I have been at a point where I felt I couldn't come on here any more and scroll through and just read stuff and relax. I was getting sucked into posts I didn't want to be sucked into. I'm not a high anxiety sufferer or anything but when something catches your eye like ' 80% of us will die ' etc then it's hard not to start to become worried.

I'll report every thread on here not in the correct topic relating to corona. Then the scaremongering weirdos can corona themselves to their hearts delight

Iwantcollarbones · 14/03/2020 23:16

Thank you for asking this. I’ve spent the day hiding individual threads but they are created faster then I can hide them.

It’s fucking embarrassing the state some posters are getting themselves into

BananaBang · 14/03/2020 23:17

@iwantcollarbones I couldn't agree more. I honestly cannot comprehend it all.

Rainbowb · 14/03/2020 23:19

I think the trouble is, it’s all so confusing. The information is so conflicted- on the one hand we’re told it’s just like getting the flu but the whole world is responding in such an extreme way, as though it’s the most deadly disease ever. I’m sick to death, it’s all anyone wants to talk about, the news is about nothing else and it just gets more and more depressing. Just longing for some normality now.

Steamfan · 14/03/2020 23:22

thank you - I've just hidden the whole topic - what a relief!

Sittinonthefloor · 14/03/2020 23:27

How do you switch to desktop view?

BananaBang · 14/03/2020 23:29

@Sittinonthefloor click on one of the links in here and scroll to the bottom and you'll see 'desktop site'

Click on that and log in and then hide away

Sittinonthefloor · 14/03/2020 23:38

Done it thank you!
