Please tell me it's not in favour of Christmas?

Hey @NevieSticks could you share a link to the thread you mean? It may be that the pin has expired.

Same for me. I NEVER used to have baby names, secondary education, conception or telly addicts there either. They are my least favourite areas as well Confused

I’ve always had Baby Names and Conception. I’m a frequent user of Baby Names so use that link often, and it was always right next to Conception and I’d often click there by accident! Don’t think Secondary Education or Christmas were there.

Pixiedust1234 · 28/09/2022 16:55

You might be right actually. But on second thoughts I'm struggling to think what parenting is so maybe its that one that wasn't there. Either way, I used the feminism link

Thanks - we're looking into this now and will get back to you.

YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet · 29/09/2022 18:14

Hi folks - and apologies @NevieSticks I misinterpreted your question. The topics you see in the top list are updated periodically based on what is most popular at the time - it's not a fixed list. It may only be September (ish) but the Christmas board is now getting very busy!

NevieSticks · 29/09/2022 21:17

Ok thanks!

The FWR aboard is extremely busy and popular so please reinstate.

Furries · 23/10/2022 02:15

The FWR topic has never not been on that list in the two years I’ve been accessing it.

As mumsnet says it's not A fixed list but one that's based on members usage and can fluctuate as and when

Hawkins001 · 23/10/2022 02:23

Plus, it's Christmas, well almost

Flipping baby names overload - why can people not decide anything on their own now?

Flipping baby names overload - why can people not decide anything on their own now?

Because people might want to discuss names... Not sure why getting more opinions on and discussing names is an inability to decide. Most people don't know every name that exists and and cultural associations with different names. It's not an overload; the link has always been there since I've been on the site and you can always block the topic if it bores you. Do you feel the same about Style and Beauty (people can decide which trousers to buy on their own)? Or property, because people should know if they want to move or extend without discussing it? Maybe AIBU should close because people can decide if they are unreasonable or not by themselves...

Christmas is over. Please can we have the link back?

Furries · 04/01/2023 16:45

I’m not holding my breath. As I said upthread, this is the first time that the link hasn’t been on the list as far as I’ve seen. Am not expecting it to return any time soon. Christmas, my arse, that was a convenient reason.

Yes, we can. Thank you.

CrossPurposes · 28/04/2023 22:49

This has happened again. I assume it's a glitch?

Furries · 29/04/2023 01:56

I’m looking forward to the “it’s algorithms /volume of traffic / etc” reasons for why Christmas has trumped things in April !

ElBandito · 29/04/2023 08:29

Yes, gone from the list but nothing in its place. Bit early for Christmas, even on mumsnet.

YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet · 29/04/2023 16:59

There are only 239 shopping days left until Christmas! It is surprisingly active over there now with impressively organised people - even so, that does seem a bit early to be in the top list. We'll take a look into this.

Any update on this? It is most aggravating and no matter how busy Christmas is, it isn't as busy as FWR.

blueled · 02/05/2023 12:10

Can't you just bookmark it? 🤔

CrossPurposes · 02/05/2023 14:17

Of course, but that's not the point, the Top Talk topic shortcuts isn't doing what it says. Christmas is not currently as busy as FWR.

There is room for the FWR link even without removing "Christmas" or anything else by the looks of it as there is a blank space under "secondary education".
