Please turn off “Trending in Christmas” or at least make the red less BRIGHT!

It’s November, not December!

The red is jarring!!

I’m not interested in what’s trending on the Christmas board.

It’s annoying.

It’s badly placed.

Please let us turn it off.

@SoupDragon

I have no idea what this "Christmas trending" thing is. I can't see it!
It’s on phone browsers I think?

KEEP CHRISTMAS IN DECEMBER!

Port1aCastis · 12/11/2021 11:42

It's bloody Nov 12th and I'm sick of Christmas being all over the show already there's a whole topic for it so keep it in there. Christmas is in December not before remembrance Sunday!

RampantIvy · 12/11/2021 11:44

I agree. I don't want to see it either.

Dinosauria · 12/11/2021 11:45

Another that doesn't want to read or see it.

SoupDragon · 12/11/2021 11:48

Bizarre that they'd put it on the mobile version only.

EdmontinaDancesWithOphelia · 12/11/2021 11:48

Still there …

BIWI · 12/11/2021 12:00

I'm not getting it on my phone either.

@BIWI

It must be that premium members don't see it because it's still there staring when I'm accessing MN on my mobile. If you can't see it, it must be because you're a premium member because trust me it's impossible to not see it if it's there.
Redcrayons · 12/11/2021 12:05

Here here. It’s annoying af

teawamutu · 12/11/2021 12:05

Premium member here. As is the bloody sodding Christmas box...

Seeline · 12/11/2021 12:09

For those that can't see it - here it is. At the end of every thread, just above the comment box. It's so big, it doesn't all fit on my phone screen, so the screen shot doesn't actually have the whole thing.

Please turn off “Trending in Christmas” or at least make the red less BRIGHT!
Sparkletree · 12/11/2021 12:09

I love Christmas but find the massive red box immensely irritating on every. single. thread.

ChessieFL · 12/11/2021 12:19

I am a premium member and I can see the box, on the mobile desktop version (not app).

Seeline · 12/11/2021 12:25

Yep - mines on the mobile desktop version too. I don't use the app because the Android version is so crap.....

BIWI · 12/11/2021 12:26

Ah. Well, I must be a Super Special Poster then, as I can't see it anywhere, either on my laptop or my phone Grin

Super jealous. Its driving me bonkers.

It really jars against the rest of the site and fills the entirety of the screen on my phone so I keep blooming click on it by accident.

Berthatydfil · 12/11/2021 12:32

Omg yes it’s sooo annoying

grapewine · 12/11/2021 12:37

How anyone thought this was a good idea really is beyond me. Baffled.

Mumsnet royalty obviously
QueenOfPeace0 · 12/11/2021 12:40

Agreed!

FlamingGoat · 12/11/2021 12:55

Its even on the bereavement threads.
Seriously, that's shite.

Helpstopthepain · 12/11/2021 12:58

@BIWI they wouldn’t dare do it to you

JustineMumsnet · 12/11/2021 13:00

Hello all, I'm very sorry if this is irritating and I do understand the sentiment about Christmas creep. That said it's clear that Christmas does in fact come early for many Mumsnetters - the Christmas topic was our fourth busiest this week, behind only AIBU, Chat and relationships, with views up 42% from the previous week.... we could look at changing it from festive red to festive green if that feels less in your face?
We'll also remove it from the bereavement topic - thanks for pointing that out.

PinkWaferBiscuit · 12/11/2021 13:04

So why the need for the bloody red box in the first place? All this statement proves is that it's s quite obvious that people know where to find threads relating to Christmas without it. Confused

we could look at changing it from festive red to festive green if that feels less in your face?

This spectacularly misses the point...
