Hiding Threads

[OutragedFromLeeds]

If I hide a thread it it hidden from the topic it's in e.g. chat, but still appears in 'most active'. Does anyone know if is there a way to get rid of it from my most active bit as well?

Yes, there is. Click on Customise and make sure that "Put "hide" link on Active Conversations? (hide selected threads from Talk):" is set to YES. Then when you open Active Convos you will see a little button with a "-" to the right of each thread. Click on that and the thread will be hidden from Active.

Are you talking about Active Convos or most Active on the side bar? Because hiding a thread only hides it in Active.

Zombie is a dimwit. She's only just worked out what you mean by "Most Active". She always has that sidebar on "Discussions of the day". She's not sure she's ever even noticed the Most Active tab before...

I too find it faintly annoying that Most Active displays absolutely everything including Topics and specific threads I've Hidden. But I don't really bother to look in that general area anymore, especially as the advert block underneath seems to be permanently occupied by those peculiar ads for 'shocking weird tips doctors don't want you to know'.
