Coronavirus topic & trending now

Any way of stopping threads in the Coronavirus topic from appearing in Trending Now? I think you’ve previously done that for other boards (FWR?) and it’s really quite anxiety-provoking to keep seeing the thread titles pop up when you’ve hidden the board.

Hello everyone!

Firstly, we just thought we'd better clear up the rumour that we ever stopped FWR appearing in trending. We do very occasionally keep a thread out of trending, but it's a bit tricky and there would need to be a really good reason for that (like dodgy trolls posting porn on a thread that's gone mad or similar). It's not something we've ever done as a matter of course or to a whole topic.

We do appreciate that trending is a bit swamped with coronavirus right now, but that is a true reflection of what is most popular on the boards at the moment. It would sort of defeat the object for us to remove them. So it's not something we're thinking of doing at the moment. We will pass on your thoughts about it though. These are strange times, so if we end up thinking about it again we will take your thoughts into consideration.

In the meantime, as PPs have said, you can hide entire topics from appearing for you (it won't affect the trending box but might make the boards easier for you to navigate around that). You can do that here.

Hi everyone,

As many of you have been requesting a corner of the site where you can escape the many discussions about coronavirus, we've happily obliged.

Do pop over to The corona-free zone where you can chat about anything and everything. Just not Covid-19.

Happy posting. Flowers
