Is there any way to hide certain forums? Fed up with having to constantly hide posts when it would be easier to hide the forum entirely.

Yes, you do this via the button next to the large TALK at the top of the page.
Click on the button ( it looks a bit like a manky smiley face)
This opens a menu >> go to CUSTOMISE
Scroll right down to the bottom of the page for the section that says
SHOW ALL TOPICS IN ACTIVE
Follow the instructions and choose the topics that you want to hide.

There is also a yes/no button about halfway down the page, click NO for “see all topics”.

I hope this helps you!

Is there a way to do this in mobile?
I did as above, but it didn't give me the usual desktop options and just showed a load of threads I had hidden.

@MichaelMumsnet mobile solutions? Smile

Do not many people use the mobile app? So many features are not available on it. @MichaelMumsnet

BertieBotts · 24/03/2022 10:54

You can't do it on mobile, only the desktop site. You might be able to force your phone to show you the desktop site and do it that way.

CloudPop · 24/03/2022 10:54

It's quite unusual, most places are investing more in mobile apps than websites but Mumsnet seems the other way round

BertieBotts · 24/03/2022 10:56

They are moving to an entirely new platform so I guess they are going to change when they do that. I hope not though, I love my desktop and can't stand it when features get shunted off to mobile only. Hate writing on a tiny screen.

So many functions not on the app. It's hard to keep track of OP posts , hide topics (yes I am talking about the feminist one :)
Etc.
