Can I block certain subjects instead of single threads?

e.g. Politics etc?

Yes. You can hide whatever boards you like, although there is no guarantee that people won't post political threads in 'Chat' or wherever else.

I've got a number of topics hidden, either because they are totally irrelevant to me or because they raise my blood pressure too much!

The option is in settings somewhere.

@FettchYeSandbagges thank you!! I did not think to look in settings. I'm always spending so much time hiding single threads so it's a relief I may be able to do it differently. Thanks, again!

Hi OP

Yes you can! Just go into your talk settings here: https://www.mumsnet.com/settings/talk
(or by navigating to 'my mumsnet' at the top-left of the page and going to talk settings).

When you're in talk settings, scroll to the bottom and you'll see 'manage hidden topics'. Click into that and exclude any topics you don't want to see!

When i look to do this there is no option to hide whole boards. Just threads (bloody weight loss threads!)

FettchYeSandbagges · 08/05/2026 18:13

@Laiste There should be, as per the instructions @LilyMumsnet posted earlier today further up this thread.

I can't imagine how I'd use MN if you couldn't hide whole boards, surely you'd have to wade though hundreds of threads to find one that interests you, I'm sure I have more hidden than not 😁
