Please can't clique threads be a topic

[YouGoGlennCoco]

You can't hide threads on phones and tbh I can't keep up with them.

Please can. Not can't.
They irk me.

God I agree!
Itsawful on iPhones not being able to hide all the crappy threads I dont want to read!

Where is the iPhone app??????

Here here. (Or should that be hear hear. Anyone?)

I guess it depends on how you want to define "clique threads"?

Can't you just hide the threads on your log-in on a computer and they're just gone when you log in with your i-phone?

Agree.
I have no problem with them being there, but there are so many now that they often take over active, and are annoying.
Give them a topic.

Which ones did you have in mind exactly?

Yep net to exactly.

Look all the people bolding each other threads. Bog off.

what on earth are you on about "bolding" each others threads?

No-one in this thread has bolded anything (apart from you), and you can't put bold in thread titles

Good Try bella;)

They are like this
bella so glad to hear the infection cleared up
netto no I didn't get to the meet up I heard you rocked the harden look
cybil s h golfing again ? Still at least you get to arrange the flowers at he club!

Just terminally dull. And EVerywhere

oh you mean bolding names.

I see that on all sorts of threads - some people just do it to draw attention to the person they're talking to.

Someone did it to me the other day put baroque in bold - and I don't think I've ever spoken to them before?

Hareem!! Bluddy iPad

There are 100 threads in Active Convos, and what, 5 or so active "clique" threads?

I don't really understand what you mean by "keeping up".

If you're on your ipad and not your phone now why are you whingeing?

Bella how are your piles now?

There should be a topic for "community threads" where the shineys/Fit and fabbers/stately homers etc all go.

It's like going in a pub and sitting on someones regular seat!

I am doing pro active whingeing fir when I am.

trillian how did the meeting withbthe fraud squad go?

Can't you even hide threads on an iPad then?

?

why - most of those threads are "open" aren't they?

Someone that's just suffered a bereavement goes to the bereavement topic and sees - a thread for those that have lost children, or one of the other support threads - they join it.

Someone is struggling with housework and keeping it under control - they head off to the "Good housekeeping" - and join either the FLYers or the Slatterns/Listmakers.

Someone wants to lose weight - heads off to general health (or whether such threads are) and sees LIGHTer life - a weightloss programme they're following, so they join it, or they have asthama and spot the Wheezers so join in

etc etc - what on earth would be the point in putting these open support groups in a topic seperate from what they're about?

And if it's the random "how is x,yz" comments you don't like - well then you'd best leave MN - as I've been here 6yrs and there have ALWAYS been thread hi-jacks

Hear hear. I try to block the topics but sometimes I might be missing something good in that topic. And then I think the shineys moved their blimmin threads to chat and I don't want to block chat.

GlennCoco keep up the whingeing I say.

Lol at 6 years. New girl

Why can't they go. It's rare people want to join the interminable dullness of " hey everyone I cleaned the sink" isn't it?

They are dull. Do they get quoted on the round up or tweeter for the world to behold?
No they are " it's joshies party. I baked a cake". Whoppididy doo

If you don't like the 'how are your piles?' chat then just don't click, the same way you don't click on all sorts of other threads.

But I can't HIDE them trillian

sobs clutching her skirt

Lizzy my piles are fine thank you!

How are your tits today?

well - I started the slatterns 3yrs ago or so - it's still going strong (though I only pop in once or twice a year ) and there's lots of faces I do't recognise each time I go. Not sure who is in "charge" these days - but obviously they're doing a stirling job of keeping it going (actually it only started as a HELP! type of thread ).

And sadly I'm certain it's not rare that people join MN that have had a bereavement, or had utterly crap parents.
