Help! I keep accidentally hiting the "hide " thread button when on my mobile. My favourite theead then vanishes.
Currently the only way to unhide is convoluted and frustrating esp with a mobile phone access (given up on the app as I coyldn't make it work for me).

Please can you make it SIMPLE for klutzes like me to un-hide conversations, either with a toggle function on the "hide" button so that pressing it again will undo the action, OR by installing a "jump to the lost of stuff I've accidentally hidden" page at the bottom of the "I'm watching page????

Pleeeeease??

Please do this, I am always hiding the best threads by accident - surely a 'did you mean to hide this thread' popup wouldn't be too hard? I also keep hitting report this thread (very fat thumbs!) but that's not as disasterous as you can go back.9

A button similar to the hide button would be best or perhaps an undo link on the bar that comes up saying the thread has been hidden.

Does the bar come up if you hide something from Active Conversations? I can't remember.

An way to find list of hidden threads would solve a big part of the problem - the fact that it's unnecessarily complicated to find the list at the moment.

Your suggestion ItsAllGoingToBeFine does sound very sensible.

Please do keep your thoughts coming folks.

Um: quick bump to ask if this might actually happen?
(Do hope so, I accidentally hid our postnatal thread AGAIN the other day!.....)

Oh yes I keep doing this it's most annoying.

Also I sometimes accidentally click on desktop and it's a pita to get it back to mobile site (don't usr the app) the bit to click on is right at the bottom and tiny!

As I've just discovered, no it doesn't. Click hide and the thread is gone (channels inner Barry Scott of Cilit Bang fame)

I'd like this too please. Have a new laptop and if I have hidden a few threads by accident as the touch pad is really sensitive. Never use "Last Day"

Hello

We do completely understand why you're asking. The new mobile site/apps will hopefully mean far fewer mistakenly hidden threads, and we're fairly close to launching those now, so we're minded to hang on until we do that and then we'll have another look to see whether this is something that should be added to Tech's ginormous to-do list.

Why is the list of hidden threads so difficult to find though?

I accidentally hide stuff and I use the desktop site.
