Or is it just me?

Bit puzzled...

I mean, Lyse Doucet is awesome (and Canadian Grin ) but it's a thread from 2014.

How odd. I thought you meant someone had revived a zombie thread, hence it being pushed up into Trending. But ISWYM, the last post on it was December last year. Most peculiar Confused

I keep saying - it's the security services doing an online dead drop!

doesn't miss spooks in an entirely visceral manner at all oh no

DawnMumsnet · 29/10/2015 10:23

Hmm. That's very odd indeed. Was it only showing up for a short while? We didn't catch it in Trending, but we'll have a word with our Tech team to see what they make of it.

Thanks for letting us know.

Very odd.

LatinForTelly · 29/10/2015 14:50

Yikes I think I broke mumsnet. I did a search on Lyse Doucet last night on google after DH and I were chatting about her accent and the first thing that came up was a mumsnet thread. Clicked on it. Next thing I know, it's in trending and I thought, how funny, other people must be wondering. But it hadn't been posted on. [spooked] I nearly put something in site stuff last night but couldn't be arsed to type on the tablet.

EcclefechanTart · 29/10/2015 15:20

Is Trending broken? I saw the Lyse Doucet zombie thread yesterday, and now my Trending is showing a thread that was deleted this morning ("to think if your son is autistic")... What's going on??

EcclefechanTart · 29/10/2015 15:22

Look! Why is this "trending" at 15.20 when it was deleted about 5 hours ago?

Trending is broken - it hasn't changed all day.

GruntledOne · 29/10/2015 18:11

I must say, I thought MNers must be getting a tad obsessive if they've been discussing the same 5 subjects frantically all day!

ChopOrNot · 29/10/2015 18:20

Yep, trending has said the same all afternoon - same as this morning.

lifesalongsong · 29/10/2015 18:22

I started thread about exactly the same problem a few weeks ago.

I was asked to try and get a screen grab but, of course, I haven't seen one since Smile

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 29/10/2015 18:30

Trending has never been right since it stopped being Most Active.

Just saying...

Boo00100001 · 29/10/2015 18:39

But "Trending" is hip and down with all the cool kids and schnazzles moving

ChopOrNot · 29/10/2015 18:43

There is surely only so much interest in washing pillows and duvets....

vindscreenviper · 29/10/2015 18:49

I'm waiting for Trending to be changed to On Fleek Grin

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 29/10/2015 18:57

On Fleek?

OP posts:
Boo00100001 · 29/10/2015 19:03

Well, they do have some questionable choices for "Discussion of the day" which I can only presume is someone's job at MNHQ to pick them...!

Maybe we're all boring farts!

FruVikingessOla · 29/10/2015 19:48

Hearts, I think that 'on fleek' only makes sense to those who are about 30+ years younger than we are? I still don't understand it!

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 29/10/2015 20:06

If I was 30 years younger I'd be at preschool. I still don't understand :(

vindscreenviper · 29/10/2015 20:27

Sorry to leave you hanging Hearts

try this thread for 'on fleek' and other yoof speak Grin

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 29/10/2015 20:55

My goodness gracious it's a whole other world isn't it. Great thread, thank you viper.

My Trending seems to be behaving itself now, although not updating all that often.

Boo I have often thought that a good prize for a MN competition would be that you get to pick the DoDs Grin

AnchorDownDeepBreath · 29/10/2015 21:37

Trending annoys me because it isn't being used correctly. They aren't Trending, they are just popular topics.

I would support on fleek, rather than Trending but most active is the best fit and was actually correct.
