in thinking that MNHQ is wrong to blank / delete threads that question the decision to let the DM print posts?

I expect this thread will get removed to - stop treating your posters as idiots and stiffling debate

There was no 'decision to let the DM print posts', as you'd know if you bothered to read the threads that are constantly in active convos....

WetAugust · 15/08/2009 22:01

That's the point - everytime I try to look I get a blank screen. Plus all teh other threads that mention the DM seem to be closed.
Even the discussion of the day takes me to a blank screen

I think its that they have deleted the posts that will identify the journalist who is also a mumsnetter.

suwoo · 15/08/2009 22:02

Its working for me.

YanknCock · 15/08/2009 22:04

Working fine for me, are you sure it's not just you having a problem?

WetAugust · 15/08/2009 22:04

OK - then I IABU - but it's a strange coincidence that evrything thread I try to look at re the DM gives me a blank screen

OP posts:
TotalChaos · 15/08/2009 22:05

it's normal for any thread on here to be closed once it reaches circa 1000 posts. and the links are working fine for me.

I've just seen you post on the sn thread that you couldn't see anything when you clicked on the TTR link WetAugust - that link worked fine for me

perhaps there is a problem at your end?

Jaquelinehyde · 15/08/2009 22:06

It's obviously just you WetAugust, because everyone else is fine

scottishmummy · 15/08/2009 22:07

me thinkey your pc is fucked and you are conspiracy theorist to boot

KingCanuteIAmAndTheDMCanFOff · 15/08/2009 22:07

Discussion of the day thread is over 1000 posts, HQ have not had time to change it to the new thread yet - I am guessing they are quit busy at the moment

There is a new thread - part 3 but everyone has run out of steam now hough!

DailyMailIsFarFromPerfect · 15/08/2009 22:07

It is because the OP has along name and the box won't fit alongside the top of the day etc.

If you scroll down far enough you will find the thread in full. No conspiracy.

beanieb · 15/08/2009 22:08

what's happened? Is a regular mumsnetter also a Daily Mail Journalist?

Goblinchild · 15/08/2009 22:09

I've still got all three threads and all the little extra ones.
MI5 have caught up with you at last. Was only a matter of time. Get out whilst you can.

2shoes · 15/08/2009 22:09

yanbu imo, I cannot understand why this person is be given special treatment

DailyMailIsFarFromPerfect · 15/08/2009 22:10

JUST SCROLL DOWN THE THREAD FAR ENOUGH and it is all there.

It is part of the blue box problem (which is to do with posters having names too long to fit on the screen.

beanieb · 15/08/2009 22:11

DO YOU MEAN SCROLL DOWN THIS THREAD?

I CAN@T SEE AN EXPLANATION.

WHY ARE WE SHOUTING?

scottishmummy · 15/08/2009 22:14

the shouting adds to the overall histrionics and threats of righty i'm offsky now mob

DailyMailIsFarFromPerfect · 15/08/2009 22:16

No scroll down the so called "blank threads". It is all there. The OP just has to sit below all of the ad's and stuff on the right so ends up half way down the page.

It is because the OP's names all happen to be too long to fit next to teh ads.

KingCanuteIAmAndTheDMCanFOff · 15/08/2009 22:21

It is stealths fault, her current name is not stealthy and she keps starting the threads

Although, to be fair SM it is WetAugust he is being a bit hysterical here!

scottishmummy · 15/08/2009 22:24

some MN have worked themselves into a histrionic state with much shroud waving and proclamation of doom

WTF are the 'Blank threads'

I am missing something aren't I?

KingCanuteIAmAndTheDMCanFOff · 15/08/2009 22:29

beanie, there aren't any blank threads, pulled threads get a message saying they are not there anymore, blank threads are just what you get when people do not scroll down far enough (ie the top is blank but lower down is not).

SM, possibly, depends on your POV I guess.
