‘Similar threads’

Just why @MNHQ?

What is the purpose of this function, when it almost exclusively includes old threads?

It’s so annoying seeing bumped threads in my ‘threads I’m on’, with dimwits replying to old threads, many of which have even been resolved.

This is a new function with the recent upgrade.

Can you please explain the logic behind it, and why it was prioritised over - for example - useful functions like, like defaulting to uppercase at the beginning of new paragraphs…..?

Hi OP

You can hide 'show similar threads' in your talk settings here: www.mumsnet.com/settings/talk We're working to make the feature more useful.

We have quite a lot we want to accomplish on the site and we absolutely understand that it can be frustrating - but we can assure you we're working on it. Flowers

Hello @Mydoghealsmyheart can you please double check it's toggled off? https://www.mumsnet.com/settings/talk

If so, and you're still seeing Similar threads, please let us know and we'll investigate.

Hi there @Mydoghealsmyheart.

We've had a good look and can't see any reason why this shouldn't work. It is very odd. Before we go any further with it, can we just double check two things with you. Sorry if this sounds totally patronising but they're things that are easily overlooked...

  1. The wording for the similar threads toggle is slightly different to some of the other settings. So to hide similar threads, the option should be toggled to ‘yes’ if you DON'T want to see them. Just mentioning in case you're seeing ‘No’ selected and assuming that that means you've opted out of seeing them. So just check you have YES selected.
  2. Then are you remembering to scroll down and hit 'save settings' afterwards?

If still no joy, let us know and we'll ask Tech to have a closer look at this one.
