Can anyone see the "Mumsnet Zoom chat with Julie Bindel" thread?

The title appears in the list of threads and it appears to have 20 replies, but clicking on it just leads me to the Mumsnet Premium page Confused

No I can’t, I also just see the premium page. I am curious about the now 20 posts. Is it only premium members who can read and post on that thread?

NoNotMeNoSiree · 09/10/2021 09:48

I'm not a premium member and can't see anything either.
Maybe ask in site stuff?

PaleGreenGhost · 09/10/2021 09:57

Same problem here.

I half assume there's a member of staff uncomfortable about women gathering to talk to someone as unapologetically feminist as Bindel, and they've accidentally-on-purpose fudged some coding? To ensure low attendance.

MildredsMoustache · 09/10/2021 09:58

Ditto, I assumed it was a premium feature and I'd have to pay to access the thread or something.

ArabellaScott · 09/10/2021 09:58

Same, it just takes me to premium page,

Zeugma · 09/10/2021 10:00

Yes. The link takes me to the Premium page too. What's going on?

Dashinghaberdashery · 09/10/2021 10:02

Same here.

ArtemesiaK · 09/10/2021 10:11

I seem to be able to get to it via Julie's Twitter.....

From the OP of that thread:

"We're pleased to announce a Zoom chat with feminist journalist and writer Julie Bindel about her new book Feminism is For Women, which we're opening to premium users first "

catzwhiskas · 09/10/2021 10:12

When is i5? Also unable to access

catzwhiskas · 09/10/2021 10:13

When is it?

Alekto · 09/10/2021 10:14

I'm not a premium member and I can see the thread, have posted on it and also have registered for the chat. I'm using the iOS app on an ipad.

Disturbed to hear that others are having difficulty. That's not good!

ComprehensiveTea · 09/10/2021 10:15

Same here. Seems weird.

BlackeyedSusan · 09/10/2021 10:17

So only rich people then...

LangClegFlavoredBananaMush · 09/10/2021 10:21

Me too, just ended up on the Premium page...

KittenKong · 09/10/2021 10:21

Yes me too? Did the bun/bunnies start attacking?

YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet · 09/10/2021 10:22

Hey all - does this link work? www.mumsnet.com/Talk/mumsnet_live_events/4369890-Zoom-chat-with-Julie-Bindel-about-her-new-book-13th-October

ChateauMargaux · 09/10/2021 10:22

What!?!? I guess they need to get premium content somehow ... slippery slope ... surely JB wouldn't think that was a good idea..

KittenKong · 09/10/2021 10:22

Yes that works. Someone messing around in the back end?

ErrolTheDragon · 09/10/2021 10:22

I can access it on the iOS app too, but not from the browser. It would be helpful if everyone could at least see the OP to know what it's about exactly - might even encourage some to sign up for premium.
The OP is:

Hello

We're pleased to announce a Zoom chat with feminist journalist and writer Julie Bindel about her new book Feminism is For Women, which we're opening to premium users first.

Julie will be chatting with Justine about the book and answering your questions on 13th October from 8 to 9pm, and you can book your place now by registering for free here.

Please register with the email associated with your Mumsnet account - or you will not be able to join.

Please note 1 If you join the Zoomchat, your camera will be turned off by default. Your screen name might be visible, so consider whether you’re happy to use your RL name or want to use your MN posting name, or something else entirely.

Please note 2 We can only take questions from Zoomchat attendees live on the night

Thanks
MNHQ

ChateauMargaux · 09/10/2021 10:23

Yes.. that link works.

YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet · 09/10/2021 10:25

Early registration was available to Premium users but it's now open to all MNers. Sorry for the confusion.

JellySlice · 09/10/2021 10:33

I'm not premium and I've posted on it and can see it.

EndoplasmicReticulum · 09/10/2021 10:38

Strange.
The link YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet posted I can see, but it only has one reply.
I can see the post at the top of this board has 21 replies but I still can't see that thread - clicking on it just takes me to the Premium sign-up page.
I understand that Premium members would be able to sign up first, but not sure why those of us who are not Premium members wouldn't even be able to read the thread about the Zoom chat.

ChateauMargaux · 09/10/2021 10:41

@YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet.. the main link on the Feminism Sex and Gender page still send me to the Premium page.. are you going to get that fixed as that is where the majority of people will try to access the thread.. not through the link you posted on this thread.

Also if there is no traffic on the thread, it will never come up in active convos, potentially limiting the number of people who are aware of it.
