Is there a way to hide Trending Now threads?

Hello, I find the Arthur topic to be quite distressing, and really am avoiding reading anything on it. I clicked on Hairdresser's testimony at Tustin trial thread (that is displaying in the Trending Now box on the right of the screen) to 'Hide' it but it seems Hide threads only works if you've posted on them. Is there any way to Hide threads from the Trending Now box?

Hi @ClaudiaJ1,

Can you please let us know which version of the site you're using?

On all versions, you don't have to have posted on a thread to be able to hide it. In the iOS app, you don't even have to open the thread - you can swipe the title to the left and then click on the Hide thread icon. On the desktop site you do have to click to open the thread but the 'Hide thread' button is right at the top of the thread, so in general you'll see the title but not the opening post.

Any threads that you've hidden should then disappear from your list of Active Conversations. However, the Trending box is based on algorithms, meaning it shows the five most-viewed threads, regardless of whether you've hidden them or not.

We are able to remove threads from the Trending box if we feel they're causing distress. We've removed this particular thread as we've received a number of similar reports about it.

Hope that answers your questions.
