How to hide topics if I can’t change to desk top site??

I access MN using my mobile phone. Usually to hide topics I would have to change to the desk top version as there was no option to do it on the mobile one. Now we can’t change to desk top on a mobile device and there doesn’t seem to be any option to hide topics no the mobile version. Am I missing something.

I can do this on my phone by pressing the 3 dots on the top corner and let's me choose the desktop option. Could you try that?

I can’t see three dots other than the ones that appear at the bottom of a post.

Oh, same here, there used to be a "desktop site" button at the bottom of the page but it's gone. I don't have three dots at the top either (iphone, safari, ios 13.7)

@RivkaMumsnet @MNHQ
I’ve tried it on my iPhone and on my work tablet which is a Samsung. I can’t see an option to hide topics on either of these devices. I’ve done it easily in the past.

Hello @Missandra - could you check if you have the option to hide the thread by clicking on the downward-facing arrow to the right at the top of the thread - it should show you the dropdown menu.

If you want to hide an entire section, you may need to use the desktop site but we're just going to double check this for you now.

Did this ever get resolved? I’m on an iphone and REALLY need to hide certain topics for MH reasons…

YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet · 21/07/2022 16:06

Hello @Phrenologistsfinger yes you can now hide topics on the mobile site. You can find this by going to Settings and then 'more settings'. On that menu, you'll see 'Talk settings' and it's under 'manage hidden threads and topics'.

Let us know if you need any help with this.
