How do I I hide a thread?

[Andylion]

I accidentally hid a thread instead of watching it. I used to know how to find my hidden threads but I have forgotten.

Please help. 🙂

I meant to ask to to unhide a thread.

Found it.

Hi @Andylion, sorry that you had to work this out for yourself.

For anyone else who's trying to hide or unhide a thread, or for any other questions you may have about using the site, it's always worth clicking on our Help page (at the foot of every page in the desktop site).

Here's what it says:

How do I hide a thread?
Go to the thread you'd like to hide. Click on the 'hide this thread' option, which will be either at the top or bottom of the thread depending on how you've set your threads to load. A green bar will then be visible at the top of the thread confirming that the thread is now hidden.

How do I unhide a thread?
Go to Mumsnet Talk Preferences – Topics and Threads. Go to the bottom of the page to Hidden Threads. Here it will list the threads you have selected to hide. Click the show button next to the relevant thread title to make it visible.

If you're using the app, it's even easier.

To hide a thread, go to the title bar of the thread and swipe to the left, then click on the the Hide icon.

To unhide a thread, go to any menu page, click on the three horizontal bars in the top right corner, then click on Settings, then Hidden threads. You can then select the hidden thread, slide to the left and click on Unhide.

Hope that all makes sense.

I selected hide the thread yesterday, but it is still there. How long does it take?

Hi @Padraic. It should be basically instant. Maybe try again and if still no joy, hit the report button on your post above and tell us which the thread was and we can have a look into it for you.
