Too many goddamn stickies

[Greensleeves]

they are taking up half the active convos fgs

We hear you!

But we do try to keep it to no more than five at a time - and, most times, a lot fewer.

Tricky, though - so much to tell you all about!

I've only got 2 atm . Is it because I've hidden half the topics?

Probably

so that's where I am going wrong

I never hide anything, I am too nosy

Oh, and Greensleeves, you can Customise to ignore Stickies if you like - although you can't then blame us if you miss out on free chocolate or summat...

I never win anything anyway, never even won at pass the parcel

I can't hide stuff though, I might MISS something!!

Sorry for being dim but what's a sticky? I've only been here 9 years you see

It's when we "stick" a thread at the top of Active Convos, so it's always there at the top, even when it's been a while since someone posted on it.

Oh I see that's why that happens
Why do you do that then?

Usually to get you to look!

Stickied threads tend to be live webchats, product tests or news about Mumsnet we'd like you all to see.
