And in fact find it irritating as hell? Why are MN now deliberately directing people to months old threads? This one that was in my ‘you might also like’ section was from July!

So far at least three threads this morning I’ve selected from ‘trending’ are from 3/4/5 months ago and I assume it is down to this ‘feature’ just why?! 🤦🏻‍♀️

It’s awful. It’s just bringing up old threads.

Glad to see I’m not alone

Definitely not alone but unfortunately the voices of the majority seem not to matter much in terms of making it all go away. Looks like we're going to be stuck with it.

Far from alone but Mumsnt just seem to be walking around with their fingers in their ears.

It’s rubbish. All old threads and a waste of space on the page.

It backfires a bit on this thread though 😂

To be fair I didn’t bother searching for other threads because my search no longer seems to work properly either and my notifications have been empty for weeks. The site is really getting more difficult to use recently.

It's such a great feature, so great in fact that it hasn't actually suggested a huge long running thread about the very topic you're posting on. 🤦🏻‍♀️

YADNBU.

I’ve just realised this stupid new feature is why so many old threads are trending again.

Absolutely pointless.

I'm on the app and don't get this. Thankfully!

Wonder if they are trying to coerce people into using the app then,

Isn’t it strange that thread doesn’t appear in YMAL suggestions?

i wonder why?

and none of the topics in Site Stuff have YMAL suggestions. Which is strange.

I'm on the app and it just means Active is full of these old threads because people on her website are being lured into posting on them...
