***Justine*** Active Topics / with / without milk / sweetener / cream / little stirring stick

53 replies

Hi Justine,

Quick q - Can I ask approx what proportion of clicks on active convos are on:

all topics
without chat
without buying/selling
without chat or buying/selling
unanswered threads

I am curious because I only ever click on all topics (or check the unanswereds in case anyone has been ignored etc.) and I would guess that a massive proportion of people do the same...

I am interested, though... do many users go for one of the other flavours (without chat / selling etc.) ?

I appreciate this will change shortly with the SN topic too...

TIA, and if this is too 'confidential' to answer, just say so and I'll continue to contemplate my navel.

Find new messages has various options. You can select just certain topics or all (and you can store a favourites list) then search either over a time span, since a certain time or since you last searched.

I'm not sure I believe in Cod.

zippitippitoes · 20/10/2006 11:25

without buying selling here too

and when they have the sn option I hope they offer

without buying selling but with sn

zippitippitoes · 20/10/2006 11:25

oh slow there they have the sn option already but I don't want to have buying and selling

an unfortunate dilemma

Marina · 20/10/2006 11:52

Another without buying/selling
But do try and do Unanswered Threads once a day at least as not having any replies can really discourage people

TheBlairAitchProject · 20/10/2006 12:03

yes, please may we have include sn but wihout buying and selling. and no sprinkles or froth on my coffee, cheers...

arfishymeau · 20/10/2006 12:24

No buying/selling here too. Although often I go for 'last hour' rather than active convos. I only found active convos during the great Australian active convo challenge.

saggarmakersbottomknocker · 20/10/2006 12:27

zippi - I want that too. Without buying and selling but with sn - and I want the last 100 not 60. I usually alter it and save to favourites.

I'm so fussy

mascaraohara · 20/10/2006 12:29

without buying/selling

HRHQueenOfQuotes · 20/10/2006 12:30

Given the number of people that don't/haven't noticed - all the with,without,include buttons - if there not now a risk that newcomers to MN, who may to wish the SN board will just click on 'all topics' and therefore not see the SN threads????

NOMurDErousPLUME · 20/10/2006 12:32

I use chat without buying/selling.

MadameButterfly · 20/10/2006 12:32

I always click without buying/selling, as I do not want to be tempted.

MamaGhoul · 20/10/2006 12:33

all topics every time.

But I should click on without buying or selling as I get rather annoyed by that for some reason.

FrannyandZooey · 20/10/2006 12:34

with / without Mooncups?

I would so like with / without cc, tbh

NotQuiteCockney · 20/10/2006 12:34

Another "without buying/selling" person, with occasional "unanswered threads".

(Where's that smug emoticon? "unanswered threads" was my idea ...)

hub2dee · 20/10/2006 13:00

I think with / without mooncups is ridiculous, and offensive perhaps to post-menopausal women.

I'd like to see 'By posters who used an Apple Mac / By posters who didn't'

FrannyandZooey · 20/10/2006 13:31

That would be you and Pruni, then, hub

Blandmum · 20/10/2006 13:33

I always click on 'without buying/selling'

hub2dee · 20/10/2006 13:42

There are MANY more of us thankyou FaZ. Gingerbear. and Willow and, well, all of the nicest people on MN.

god, you mac users, you're all so 'us' and 'them'...

Molesworth · 20/10/2006 13:55

If you want to include sn but exclude buying/selling save this link:

www.mumsnet.com/SearchTalk?nobuy=y&lastn=60&o=&sn=y

I wonder if it's feasible to let people customise which topics they want in active convos within the Your Registration area. It's getting a bit unwieldy up the top there!

saggarmakersbottomknocker · 20/10/2006 17:15

Thanks Molesworth.

JustineMumsnet · 20/10/2006 17:30

Yes indeed Molesworth you're quite right it is all a bit cumbersome. Customisation is on tech's list of things to do... eta new year I suspect,
