Highlighting Zombie threads

5 replies

Maybe this has been mentioned before but, having just invested about 20 minutes I won't get back in a NINE YEAR OLD thread on AIBU, is there not some way that you can highlight at the top of a thread or in the thread title that it is a zombie.

Surely some criteria can be devised e.g. initial post more than x months ago, that these could be easily spotted?

Typically someone notices and posts a Zombie Alert on the thread but inevitably that will be near the end of the thread so you can easily have read hundreds of posts without noticing.

Notification at the top, or even before opening the thread, would be preferable.

Hello, 5foot5!

Thanks so much for your feedback.

We totally understand your concerns, however, we actually changed our zombie alert a while back as it was quite off-putting for new users!

Now we have a small zombie warning next to the little message box.

At this time, we don't have any plans to change this feature but are always more than happy to get feedback.

Evening All,

We can see this is a complete irritant for lots of you so we will pass your feedback on but no promises.

Everyone's welcome on Mumsnet, whether they've been here ten years or ten minutes.
However, erm, that thread might have been better left in the past. Shock
Anyway, just to reassure you that we're passing on your comments about zombie threads and that we'll hopefully have an update for you soon .
