I have, but I still see loads of royal threads popping up. Like this one.

ZeldaWillTellYourFortune · 06/01/2023 17:51

How does one hide an entire board?

londonrach · 06/01/2023 17:51

Why what I miss? If it's h & m not interested. Both got serious issues. Anything else interested... princess Anne is so normal....let's mil and fil out regularly....

DPotter · 06/01/2023 17:53

haven't hidden it but I don't open the threads posted on there. The only ones I open, by mistake are those with ambiguous title on the AIBU board - most annoying

PAFMO · 06/01/2023 17:53

I do still think there should be some late night intervention ahem, like there used to be in Ye Olden Dayes. We could derail with threads about the literary value and dystopian metaphor of Last of the summer wine or something and make them all think they really had gone warp speed barmy.
Only joking HQ! (kinda)

MsFogi · 06/01/2023 17:55

No - I rely on it to keep up on snippets of gossip about Harry's frostbitten todger. Off MN I never read anything about the RF.

ChocChipOwl · 06/01/2023 18:24

It's good the topic exists.

Means we all know who the weirdos are

Sparklingbrook · 06/01/2023 18:29

It'll be lively on there next week when Harry's book comes our, Everyone saying they're not interested will read it cover to cover and immediately start a thread to say how not interested they are. Grin

Haha I won’t read it but find people’s reactions funny

I don’t really see RF stuff off here but the book stuff has given me a laugh

To all intents and purposes, it's out already - the entire thing is splattered all over the internet.

Is it? I have seen a few 'highlights' without going looking for them unfortunately- didn't it get accidentally released in Spain or something.

MillicentTrilbyHiggins · 06/01/2023 18:37

I finally caved and hid it. I was hiding individual threads but there were just too many. Which is a shame because sometimes there are interesting threads on there.

I have it hidden and it's annoying when things appear in active that I've taken steps to avoid, yes. I presume that is the subtext of your question.

I was actually just thinking recently I'd like a button alongside every thread in Active view to quickly hide based on the title alone – I resent extra clicks to open a thread just to hide it.

Yes I do know I can just scroll on by...

I can do this - have a fiddle in your settings

I have antenatal and post natal clubs hidden, and conception, but nothing else. I like a nice mixed diet in my Active

Just un-hide in a couple of weeks when its all died down a bit

Yes, so all the major news outlets have been rapidly translating it.

timetorefresh · 06/01/2023 18:46

I just have I think! I hope!

Lunaballoon · 06/01/2023 18:46

I wish there was a “hide” option for anything Harry/Meghan-related on TV, radio, newspapers. Isn’t there any ‘real’ news out there? Oh wait - there a war on and the NHS in crisis 😡

ChangedmynameagainforChristmas · 06/01/2023 18:48

I have just hidden it because I think the papers are all over it and in my opinion 'not genuine posters' starting threads up was making my blood boil

pigsDOfly · 06/01/2023 18:50

Haven't hidden the royal family board as it's never occurred to me to do so tbh, but I don't go on it either and don't click on any threads that look as if they're going to be about Harry and Meghan - most of them give an indication in the title - in the same way I don't click on threads that look as if I'm not going to be interest in the subject matter.

It's quite simple really not to click on a thread.

Thanks - found it! I knew it was a good idea 😀 Just hadn't been in settings for a while.

@pigsDOfly , you just have to scroll a little further to get the stuff you do like, I guess. I think it's a great feature, I've always accessed Active first (or after threads I'm watching) and it's not clogged up with topics I don't want to see. But I guess some people go directly to boards so don't mind.
