New look special needs

[stuffitllama]

I thought it was supposed to be private? It's popping up in active.. is that right?

What?!?! When was the decision made to private it?

I'm not sure, I just thought it mean it didn't show up in active.

Oh hang on, I've always had the "show sn" button pressed so not noticed any change. The button to hide/show it seems to have gone from customise.

It's not that I don't want to see it! But when I wanted to post something there I had to hunt a bit and I thought it was a hide unless request otherwise sort of thing .

It was a hide thread, it had to be selected in customise mumsnet

it is not there, oh lovely the topic will be great now...........not

I've always "opted in" to the SN topic. I think it is a no win situation - some people thought this was OK and some thought it excluded SNs. IIRC there was a lot of discussion before it was changed to Opt Out originally but you can't please everyone

trouble is without the opt in(so it never has been private as anyone can opt in) people won't realise they are posting in sn.

Especially as the topic headings on active conversations seem to be teeny tiny.

awaits the threads kicking off in sn

I noticed this, and afte a little search i found where you opt in, mine is ticked to no but i still see them. A bug?

I could see them (was opted in before) but when I went to my settings found it was on no but could still see them. Does sound like some sort of bug.

apologies - we'll fix this asap.

thanks justine

thanks

thanks Justine

is it back, as I can't find it

SN has always popped up in my active convos, had no idea there was a button to hide it - not that I would anyway, but does this mean it won't be in my active convos any more?

I've just noticed that my 'include special needs' is defaulted to 'no' but special needs topics are still visible in active convos. Hadn't noticed the bug before becasue I had always chosen to have it visible.

The link to customise topic list is very inadequate.

where is it now?

why is special needs hidden (or why should it be hidden)?

in thwe middle of the customise page there is a heading 'Active Conversations and Searches', and within this a heading beginning with the word 'ignore' there is a single-word hyperlink ( the word 'here') to the hide and show thread page sn opt in/out is there.

Non-descriptive hyperlinks '(here) violate accessibility rules, don't they?

thanks....talk about hidden

why is the topic hidden though?

it isn't hidden, just has an opt in/out button, just to remind people taht they are posting in SN.
