OTBT threads showung in Active Discussions

Just thought you should know there's an OTBT thread showing up in my active page. I might be wrong (mostly a lurker) but I thought they were not supposed to show there.

I just noticed that too - have reported the thread.

Really sorry about this - we'd moved the thread from another topic just a few minutes ago and we think we need to wait for our site to re-index before the change is fully implemented. If you could stop posting on the thread for a few minutes (just so it doesn't pop into Active) we'll try to see if we can force a re-index (if that's the issue - waiting for Tech to pronounce on it!)

Is it one that started out in a different area? One that was moved to otbt I mean. They seem to be visible. And IIRC ones started elsewhere then moved to otbt remain google-able (seems kinda pointless, praps ops should be encouraged to repost in otbt full stop)

Ramble ramble.

Thank you Rowan. I can't see it now, just wanted to warn you in case there was a glitch somewhere :)

Still in active conversations

Thanks for this - we're a bit baffled tbh, we've asked the OP to start a new thread in OTBT.

If you were seeing it in Active, can you tell us how you're accessing Mumsnet - mobile or desktop site/app, which operating system you use (Windows, iOS, Android etc) and what browser you're using if you're on the mobile or desktop site (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer etc)?

Thanks very much

Not sure if it's still there but I am using the mobile site on an iPhone 5c using Safari with iOS 7.1

What does OTBT mean?

sesw · 06/04/2014 02:45

Is it off the beaten track? It's the only thing. Beyond shoes which comes up in google. What does it mean?

BillyBanter · 06/04/2014 02:58

Oh, so it's supposed to be ungoogleable, I guess.

Doinmummy · 06/04/2014 03:57

It's still showing on my active discussions . I'm on an iPad using Safari

sanityawol · 06/04/2014 10:15

Another has just shown up on my active discussions. I'm on a Samsung android phone using the built in browser.

I think the thread that I can see may have been started in another topic and moved to OTBT.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your reports. It does seem to be a problem with threads which have been started outside of OTBT and then moved there.

We don't have enough hands on deck today to look into it properly, but it will be top of the list tomorrow once we're back in the office.
