to hide Aibu?

I have whinged and moaned about it for long enough!

But, really, I am sick of being confronted with severe health problems vs the likes of "Aibu to like PeppaPig?" type of threads in Aibu.

It is impossible to customise Mumsnet or hide the topics you don't like if you keep Aibu.

Is it really time?

Feel v indecisive ...

AIBU is the life and soul of Mumsnet though!

mackerella · 09/03/2013 19:32

Well you won't know if YABU if you hide the topic...

Smartiepants79 · 09/03/2013 19:44

This is exactly what I love about AIBU.
A complete mix of topics. I can choose whatever I'm in the mood for.
You don't have to read anything you aren't interested in.
Pick and choose.

AgentZigzag · 09/03/2013 19:46

But do you like Peppa Pig Minty?

Grin

I'd give it two hours thirty nine minutes before you caved in and had to unhide it to see what the current trolls are up to.

LadyBeagleEyes · 09/03/2013 19:46

Half of it is made up at the moment IMO.
Just enough to get the frothers going and the first time OP never comes back.

PseudoBadger · 09/03/2013 19:49

Are you going to read these replies?

Pickles101 · 09/03/2013 19:51

YABU - I quite like Peppa Pig.

brainonastick · 09/03/2013 19:52

Oooo, very post-modern

PeppaFuckingPig · 09/03/2013 19:57

Peppa Pig is a precocious little arse.

Pickles101 · 09/03/2013 19:59

Peppa's dad looks like my OH don't tell him

Mintyy · 09/03/2013 20:15

I can't even ask on here if people are happy that they have hidden Aibu!

But if I do get rid of it it then I reckon that's about 30% of Mumsnet hidden to me - which I don't want.

Confused

Who's Peppa Pig?
And shouldn't it be Pepper?

IamtheZombie · 09/03/2013 20:21

Zombie uses Active Convos a lot and is exceedingly fond of the hide thread button on there. She doesn't think she'd ever hide AIBU in full, but she does hide more than a few threads in there.

AgentZigzag · 09/03/2013 20:24

I'd love to have your life and not know who <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=thatmakestwo.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/peppa-pig-image-2-561060617.jpg&imgrefurl=thatmakestwo.wordpress.com/2012/04/05/why-i-dont-like-peppa-pig/&h=228&w=192&sz=1&tbnid=Xs0BRDlY00q0mM:&tbnh=186&tbnw=156&zoom=1&usg=__8y6vApWWa3qm2YI-dFaUIcb14A4=&docid=YIhNTkZguobQIM&itg=1&hl=en&sa=X&ei=SJo7UajwE4LC7AbKs4D4DQ&ved=0CJMBEPwdMAw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Peppa Pig is LetsFace.

You should count yourself lucky.

Magimedi · 09/03/2013 20:26

I have not got a clue as to who Peppa/er Pig is but I love AIBU .

I have learnt so much from it - cocking badgers being the first example that springs to mind.

AgentZigzag · 09/03/2013 20:27

(Just out of interest Zombie, if Zombie Apocalypse occurred by the end of this weekend, where would your loyalties lie? Would you run from them to warn us non-Zoms or embrace them as part of your Zom family?)

Mintyy · 09/03/2013 20:27

Zombie my love, that's how I do it too. I've hidden 70% of Mumsnet topics already.

I click through active convos and hide individual threads I'm not interested in.

But Aibu?

aibu is different!!

OP posts:
IamtheZombie · 09/03/2013 20:33

AgentZigzag, Zombie has solemnly sworn to protect Mumsnet and all who sail in her from any and all nasty zombies. She is a Zombie of honour and would never break her vow to MN.

AgentZigzag · 09/03/2013 20:35

...unless the smell of brains became too much for you...?

Not much chance of that late night on AIBU though eh? Grin

hmmmhmmm · 09/03/2013 20:40

i thought you could only hide threads not whole topics?

Mintyy · 09/03/2013 20:43

You can definitely hide whole topics! You don't have to have Ante Natal Clubs and Forces Sweethearts in your Active convos any more (unless you want them of course).

OP posts:
IamtheZombie · 09/03/2013 20:44

Zombie will let you in on a secret. She doesn't like brains.

hmmmhmmm · 09/03/2013 20:45

how?
i see hide this thread but not hide this topic? (i am sure its prob obvious but .. humour me please!)

Mintyy · 09/03/2013 20:51

Click on "customise" above.

Scroll to the very bottom of the page to the heading "Ignore Topics In Active Convos" or summat like that. Follow the link.
