SN threads not appearing in active convos

[hazeyjane]

Opt in box ticked

Threads still don't appear in active convos

I know you saud you would look into it, but any chance this can be sorted out......I don't think it's just me!

[hazeyjane]

that should all have been bolded and said....'come on mumsnet'

tired

[Samcro]

just bumping as i don't want this to disappear and get forgotten.
i know mn hq are a bit besieged at the moment and having a hard time. but would love this to be dealt with and made a priority. I saw another thread at the weekend that really should have been in sn.

[hazeyjane]

Daily bump (anyone who has a child who watched endless YouTube may find this amusing....)

[CatONineTails]

Yes come on MNHQ you need to pull your finger out.

It was possible for you to hide and then unhide a topic from Active Conversations when it was politically expedient (Feminism not so long ago) but for reasons as yet unexplained it is very complicated to do the same for SN?

Jolly poor show

[hazeyjane]

This thread was started over a month ago, and there was another thread before this one. This has been going on for such a long time, and I know it is just us few bleating about it, but please sort it out.

Do we know whether they appear in active for anyone (who has opted in), or is it just some of us?

[CrochetBelle]

As far as I know the SN boards have been hidden from Active for all users, regardless of 'opt in' being checked or not.
There's no way this is a 'tech issue', it's very deliberate, and utterly disgusting and ignorant.

But it means more SN threads are being posted in AIBU. Which generates more traffic. And often turns into a bunfight. Which, of course, generates more income.

[newroundhere]

Any update @lornamumsnet or @flissmumsnet? Or anyone else at @MNHQ for that matter? Please?

[hazeyjane]

Crochetbelle - it is shit that it hasn't been sorted out, but I can't believe it is the conspiracy you paint.

[CrochetBelle]

It's impossible that this issue is so complex that it has taken over two months so far to figure out how to reverse it, and there hasn't even been an attempt to fix it.
It's been said several times over the past few years by MNHQ that this forum may no longer be the right place for many of the SN community. It's also been acknowledged by HQ that this issue makes it much more difficult for said community to continue to operate the way it had done over the past decade.
The complete lack of movement, explanation or response from HQ over this doesn't exactly reassure me that we are a valued part of the MN community.

[Samcro]

i can't say too much as I don't want to get banned again. but i do hope mn hq deal with this soon. I have just found out something about melatonin that i did not know. I would normally have gone on the sn childrens topic to post about it. just in case I am not alone in not knowing this. but its so long winded to find the topic, i will forget what it was I was going to post by the time i find it (old age!)

[TarquinsMama]

No news yet? The SN boards were a lifeline for me both post and pre diagnosis with both DC; sad to see MNHQ doesn't value the topics as much as, say, AIBU

[CrochetBelle]

@PhilTech

Anything?

Yes it has, I’ve had it during one of many arguments re disablism.

The complete lack of movement, explanation or response from HQ over this doesn't exactly reassure me that we are a valued part of the MN community

We’re not. It’s that simple. If the SN boards or combating disablism mattered to MNHQ, they’d have done it by now.

No update, no response, and every disablist deletion is like pulling teeth.

[hazeyjane]

I don't know, maybe all that is true.

But I do know that since having ds I have not found any other forum or facebook page where I have found the support, friendship and advice that I have found on these boards (both sn and the main boards), without the strange combo of the mawkishness and infighting that I sometimes find elsewhere.

That doesn't mean there aren't tossers aplenty and that there haven't been some awful threads, but on the whole I liked the way that posters from the sn boards also posted on the main boards (and kicked the tossers up the arse if necessary). I feel that is dying as the 'opt in, but appear in active' function stops working. It might as well be 2 completely separate forums.

I just wish Mumsnet would pull their finger out, and stop going on about all the other pressing issues (yes I know they are pressing, but it just adds to the 3rd class citizen feeling)

[SoddingUnicorns]

The SN boards are fantastic. I’ve met some wonderful people on here who’ve ended up being RL friends.

But there is an issue with MNHQ failing to protect disabled posters/parents of disabled children, not acting on disablism and not listening to what we’re telling them.

[Rubberduckies]

I will post and add to my 'I'm on' threads and help with the regular bumping for you.

Not cool MNHQ Not cool.

[hazeyjane]

But there is an issue with MNHQ failing to protect disabled posters/parents of disabled children, not acting on disablism and not listening to what we’re telling them.
That is the opinion of some posters, not all. There have been many arguments about what constitutes disabilism, how to deal with it, when to delete etc. It is a thornier issue than 'Mumsnet v all posters who have experience of disability within their lives'.

Whatever anyone's opinion on this, we can all agree that it would be a massive shame if the sn boards faded away, and that Mumsnet needs to kick itself up the arse.....can't we?!

[SoddingUnicorns]

Fair enough.

I stand by my point about them not listening though, or prioritising disabled posters/or parents of disabled children posting. Otherwise this thread wouldn’t have been running for so long.

[Ouryve]

So it's not just me. When I do stumble in, it's tumbleweed over there. Now it's obvious why.

And it's taking even longer to fix than the SN chat threads hanging around long after they should have disappeared issue.

[WeaselsRising]

I hadn't twigged that I wasn't seeing any SN threads as I had ticked the box and I used to.

[QueenOfQuacks]

It's been a long time since I saw any SN threads in Active.

And it is inexcusable that MNHQ are not sorting it out. Utterly crap.

It cannot be that technically difficult. It wasn't that difficult when it suited them!

[notapizzaeater]

Ditto, I've only just realised I'm missing them

[hazeyjane]

I wonder if it is everybody who opts in, or if some people do still see threads in active?

Another day of poking them with a stick.....

[BertieBotts]

Can I ask will this include the MNers with SN topic? I would like to be able to opt in and see it in active as well. I have ADHD so I could potentially help people posting there but I just do not remember to check the section manually. Ironically, it's part of my problem.

[Cauliflowershower]

I’m shocked that this can take so long to fix! It’s not like mumsnet is a 1man (person) band operation any more.
