no i cant either.
normally if ive hidden one though i dont feel any need to unhide it again unless i did it by accident!

GreenyEyes · 21/11/2012 22:38

I've never tried.

Once I hide, they are dead to me. Dead.

Lougle · 21/11/2012 22:40

In the interests of scientific analysis, I hid two threads in Active Convos. They don't show in my 'hidden threads' and I can't unhide them either.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 21/11/2012 22:42

THIS IS SERIOuS THEN.

What to do?

Look right underneath Mumsnet Talk - where it says 'customise' on the top left. Click, and scroll right down to the bottom, and it gives you a link to manage your hidden conversations.

I expect there's a quicker way, but that's how I always find it.

Go to Active Convos
Scroll down to the bottom of the page
Click on Manage Hidden Threads
Wait for the box to appear (it takes a few seconds)
Find the thread you want to unhide and click Show

It will then appear in Active Convos (but only if it would have been there anyway)

Lougle · 21/11/2012 22:48

It was a sacrifice, Chaos. I have tissues of course, if my 'hidden threads' was working, I'd be able to tell you what they were Grin

exexpat, that is a wonderfully concise description of the process of unhiding threads. If the hidden conversations section was working Wink

exexpat · 21/11/2012 22:49

Ah - didn't spot the post where you said they weren't showing. Time to put a shout-out to tech, then?

GreenyEyes · 21/11/2012 22:49

It's not showing any of my hidden threads, no.

And there should be LOADS

GreenyEyes · 21/11/2012 22:51

No don't. I think I actually prefer the thought that they've whooshed into thin air.

Lougle · 21/11/2012 22:53

Ooooh errrrr, RustyBear. Now that reveals the threads I have hidden.

Chaos, I can now reveal that the sacrificed threads were:

Style and Beauty: How much do you weigh if you are 5'8.

Credit Crunch: 1 year challenge to clear debts.

I can't link, because...drum roll....

THEY ARE STILL HIDDEN DESPITE CLICKING THE CLICKY BUTTON.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 21/11/2012 22:53

OOOOOOOoooooOOOOooooooH.

look at you exexpat and RustyB going all knowledgeablebabble on us.

Well, that doesn't work if the system has been swannied, now does it?

exexpat · 21/11/2012 22:54

I couldn't remember if I was meant to have any hidden threads on the list, so I just hid the chocolate tombola thread as an experiment. It has indeed been wiped off the face of the earth. Now I'll never know where to buy cheap chocolate Sad

Cooeee, Tech, where are you?

Lougle · 21/11/2012 22:55

I bet techs won't fix it. They'll just change 'hide thread' to 'annihilate thread' Wink

exexpat · 21/11/2012 22:57

Humph. I just tried following Rusty's instructions since they are obviously vastly superior to mine but there is no link to manage hidden threads at the bottom of my active conversations. I suspect a plot.

However, I am not sure you are the first to moan notice this.
We will look.

exexpat · 21/11/2012 23:00

Ah, MaryZ, you obviously don't have fat clumsy fingers like mine because I keep swiping the 'hide thread' button by mistake on threads I actually want to read.

OK, I know it's my fault for using the iPad instead of the creaky old netbook.

Sarahbeanieslawyer · 21/11/2012 23:02

I can't unhide hidden threads either, been trying to get style and beauty back for ages....

I don't have a manage hidden threads heading ....
