Games threads fill the active list sometimes

It was wonderful for me too Nanaandgrampy
Can’t bear then and eventually with a lot of help on here I got rid of them and now my list of threads is wonderfully free
Glad you like them Tangerine

The Games are my favourite part of Gransnet.

Have also used it twice today.
Remember that when you scroll down and see either desktop or mobile that's the one you are choosing to move to. It isn't the one you're currently on.
Then open thread, click arrow, choose Hide Discussion.
It won't disappear immediately so go to "active" or "last hour", then back to where you were.
It does work, so please try again.

Its been revolutionary for me --- I followed the advice and hid the games thread, I appreciate they are well loved and liked but they're not for me.

Now I just have to drop into mobile mode every few days and hide any new threads. It makes things so much easier !!

Pogs
Hide this discussion is showing on the drop down for me today In fact I have used it twice today.
I'm using an Android phone.

Is it me. (probably) ?

I managed to delete the games threads after following Pitticitys advice but I have tried today to delete more games threads by doing the exact same method and I can't see on the menu :-

' Hide this discussion '

Bluebelle once you've clicked Hide Discussion click on Active Discussions.
Don't use back arrows as they just take you back to the unchanged page.

sorry Riverwalk it’s early don’t ya know ?

Tanith it worked for me, thank goodness. It's Bluebelle who's having trouble!

Riverwalk I feel your frustration, but I don’t know what else to suggest it seems to work for most people. You have to do each game individually but I’m guessing that is how you are trying to do it.

NanKate thanks for understanding how annoying it is for some of us it makes such a difference not to see them ?

Hi folks I feel I must put my hands up ? as I am the instigator of many games. I listen to a programme on Radio Southern Counties who introduce games a couple of times a week which I put on GN and I am often surprised at the number of people who respond. Some GN members say to me how much they enjoy them.

On the other hand I can fully appreciate how frustrating it must be to you GN members who have to sift through the games to find threads you enjoy.

I agree with you that it would be good to be able to turn off the Forums you don’t want, but from my experience the Techy part of GN work at a snail’s pace.

Let’s hope this issue can be resolved soon with us being able to pick and choose to suit our own interests.

I’m with you on this one.

There's one important subject that divides GN members right down the middle - it's not Brexit but the infernal Games taking up centre page

Some people, otherwise pleasant and normal, actually play the games and inflict the pain on the other half! We know who you are

The first screenshot shows no v on the mobile site I only get the v when I change to the desktop site that’s fine
Then I get all the messages but it makes no difference when I click it doesn’t get rid of the thread it just stays there looking at me with great defiance in its eyes

Thanks folks I DO click on hide this discussion but nothing happens the game thread still stays exactly as it was it doesn’t go and I m frustrated I have a problem with all these darn games threads filling up my list

Question for the moderators.

Last year, I seem to recall a thread from the mods asking what changes we would like to see in the organisation of the forum.

Separating the games so they don't dominate the "last" and "active" tabs was requested by many, many people. Were these requests ever passed to the developers and are they working on it?

Hiding individual threads is fine but I don't want to have to go through this filtering routine every time someone starts a new game.

snap POGS ?

Bluebell look through the list when you click on the circle it’s the third one down on the left hide this discussion.

' I find the first time I click on it a bar appears at the bottom, the 2 and time I click on it the full list of options is displayed and you choose ' Hide this discussion ' as Piticity kindly pointed out."
---

Have you clicked twice? The bar at the bottom would go and the full menu appears

It looks as though your tablet is displaying the exact same as others as your screenshot obviously shows ' the tiny circle with a v in it'. It also shows the 'bar' at the bottom which is coloured maroon.

Click on the ' tiny circle with a v in it' again after the maroon bar appears and it should display a full menu which has 'Hide this discussion'.

10/10 for effort

Sorry tanith the iPad keeps changing your name
Now a screenshot of Pogs way

Tabitha here’s a screenshot of my page no circle visible
And of the messages I get doing it Pogs way

I have NO circle with a v Tanith under the inbox or anywhere else that I can see
I ve tried Pogs instruction to click on the mobile site ( which takes you to desktop) The circle and v now appear I click on that and it gives me a number of things I can do but none of them are anything to do with deleting ? So I m still in a muddle with this one

Bluebell I’m using an iPad there is a tiny circle with a v in it at the top right hand corner right below the inbox button. It’s there on my iPad I hope you find just click on it and you can then hide the game.

BlueBelle

Click on the thread.

Click on ' mobile ' at the bottom of the page.

Click on the ' tiny circle with a v in it ' which is situated on the top right just below the ' inbox'.

I find the first time I click on it a bar appears at the bottom, the 2 and time I click on it the full list of options is displayed and you choose ' Hide this discussion ' as Piticity kindly pointed out.

It really is worth taking the time to delete them if like me you use active all the time .

Thanks everyone, between solved a problem although in a convoluted way for lots of us. ???
