'Hide' threads not working?

22 replies

FadedRed · 16/08/2017 11:51

Is Hide threads not working? I've clicked on Hide several times, and the thread disappears, but when I go back to the 'Active' threads page, they've reappeared. This has been happening for the past couple of days.

Yep. Me too

FadedRed · 16/08/2017 14:49

Anyone else?
MNHQ - any comment?
T'is a small thing, I know, but irritating.

Me too. Stuff I've hidden on mobile is still visible on mobile and pc, and vv. Die, damn you Grin

Thanks, all.

We're really sorry about this - we're struggling to replicate.

Tech is aware and they've been looking. We'll post as soon as we know more.

Hello again!

Just popping in to say tech has managed to replicate this and will be releasing a fix soon (we can't put a time frame on it but shouldn't take too long).

AttentionSeekingFantasist · 16/08/2017 16:30

Brilliant, thanks Lorna!

FadedRed · 16/08/2017 18:39

Thank you Lorna.

Any idea when it'll be done? 97% of my active convos are threads I've already hidden.

LornaMumsnet · 17/08/2017 09:23

Hi ShesNoNormanPace,

We don't have a time frame at the moment (we don't want to make any promises) but we hope it won't be too long!

Sorry for the inconvenience here, folks.

ShesNoNormanPace · 18/08/2017 18:52

Is it (still) just me?

BoreOfWhabylon · 18/08/2017 20:43

Not just you, no. Still can't hide threads and topics I've hidden still showing on active.

ShesNoNormanPace · 19/08/2017 11:31

Oh it's driving me mad. I open up Active, I whizz through and hide everything I don't want to know about/don't care about/think is bollocks/am not interested in/don't watch and then read the rest. Except now it's all swinging and GoT Hmm

Earlybird · 19/08/2017 14:38

I'm still having this problem too, and as a result, haven't looked at Active Discussions much for the last week.

I wondered if the issue was due to hiding hundreds (thousands?) of threads over the years, and the system had reached capacity for me on 'Threads I'm Hiding'.

Hope it is fixed soon.

CrochetBelle · 19/08/2017 21:22

Any update on this? My 'manage hidden threads' is a bunch of threads I've never heard of, never mind actively hidden (I don't even view the forums most of those threads are from!)

I always thought MN had a decent platform that could provide a fairly personalised experience for people, but this latest screw up is a bit shit. Does no-one keep backups that can be reverted back to if a change in coding doesn't work to plan?

ALemonyPea · 19/08/2017 22:21

Still not working for me either. Annoying seeing hate same ones pop up that I don't want to see.

ShesNoNormanPace · 20/08/2017 19:24

Earlybird my list is extensive, and I've just had a look and there are more recent threads on it than very old ones. Even one from today.

FadedRed · 21/08/2017 12:04

Sorry to keep asking but any idea when this is going to be fixed MNHQ?

OP posts:
LornaMumsnet · 21/08/2017 15:21

Hi folks,

This issue should now be fixed and hidden threads should stay hidden.

Is this the case or is anyone experiencing something else?

Many thanks for your patience here.

BoreOfWhabylon · 21/08/2017 16:55

Mine seems ok now. Thanks LornaMN

FadedRed · 22/08/2017 16:19

Yes, all seems to be working now, thank you Lorna.

The 'hide thread' function seems to be malfunctioning again. Threads I've hidden are still visible in Active Conversations.

Would be great if a solution could be found as I've dramatically reduced visits to Mumsnet until this issue is resolved. (That may be why I've had a particularly productive few weeks! Grin

Earlybird · 16/09/2017 16:42

'Hide Threads' function still not working for me. It has been this way for weeks now.

Are others having this problem too?
Is there a solution?
