Absolutely had enough of seeing the thread popping up. How do I hide a topic please?

Yup, not on there either. Wish I had known this earlier!

Oh thank goodness. Thank you and thank you to OP too. 👏👏

Most reasonable thread today. I can’t believe anyone gives a shit about this.

God I know.

Defiantlynot41 · 05/01/2023 21:28

Thank you !!!

shieldmaiden7 · 05/01/2023 21:28

Thank you so much!

Ponderingtosk · 05/01/2023 21:36

Brilliant. Thanks. Just wish I could do it on the daily papers too.

GiantKitten · 05/01/2023 21:37

I have hidden it but I’m still getting royal stories trending (on mobile site on iPhone)

Oh it’s ok, they’ve gone now, phew!

WhatICallMyUsername · 05/01/2023 21:40

Thanks for this OP, I've just hidden absolutely loads of stuff! I used to have RF as a favourite topic but had removed it recently and thought it hadn't updated. Didn't realise everyone was getting them!

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 05/01/2023 21:45

Thank you. It was driving me nuts!

Littlechickenhead · 05/01/2023 21:46

If you come across royal threads outside of the royal family topic, hit the report button, choose ‘other’ then state it should be in the royal family topic.

It’s incredibly tedious but @mnhq seem to think that we all need to see every random thread about the royals and refuse to move them into the correct topic unless reported, and not even then.

Just hid gazillions of topics! Didn't know it was a thing. Thanks op.

You're welcome. 😊

The blimmin’ things keep reappearing on mine (iPad - Safari) until I go back into customise again. The topic is still listed as hidden and they disappear again when I go back onto active 🤦‍♀️

UnaOfStormhold · 05/01/2023 22:03

That was close, almost selected it under follow instead of hide. All sorted now. Phew.

Dystopiawarming · 05/01/2023 22:04

Pretty hard to do at the moment when it seems to be on all the other boards as well 😬

TheMousePipes · 05/01/2023 22:08

phew. Thanks for that, it’s been driving me mad today. Who cares?

anythinginapinch · 05/01/2023 22:09

Oh my god that's brilliant - took the opportunity to hide a number of other topics of absolutely no interest to me too, like baby names! What joy

WhatCanWeDoNext · 05/01/2023 22:11

Gah! 🤦‍♀️ I’m stuck with them forever, it seems.

Trouble is they are getting into AIBU now.

Mysterian · 05/01/2023 22:18

But how will you hear about Harry losing his virginity to an old horse-woman?

Some of us don't want to fucking know

Anisina · 05/01/2023 22:32

I've hidden The Royal topic and still the fucking Harry threads keep popping up all over active.

vodkaredbullgirl · 05/01/2023 22:52

worse then some trolls

WhatCanWeDoNext · 05/01/2023 23:13

I’ve just realised my screenshot is Last Hour, not Active. I guess that’s why I’m still seeing the things. 🤦‍♀️
Doesn’t seem to hide the topic there.

Thank you OP, just came here to search for this exact thing. 🥂
