Is there a hide option?

Oh. I really don't believe in lighthearted threads. I am very serious. All the time.

Personally I am bl...y fed up with the viciousness shown to those who voted Leave, like me.
So much for this being a democratic country.
I too would welcome a 'hide' button à la MN (where the vituperation is beyond belief)

I have eaten two mini magnums today.

Just for you ladies.

All better. ((hugs)).

I wonder how many threads would be left on the Active page if we could hide all the EU stuff? CBA to actually count them...

Thanks jingl, very much appreciated ?

Ana It wouldn't take long to count the non-EU ref threads! 1, 2, 3 .....

who says I'm not interested Jingl ?

On what are you basing your assumption?

I've posted on political issues today and in the last few days-I've also posted on Big Brother and Gnomes. Does one thing preclude the other.

I didn't realise there was a moratorium on anything not related to the political threads.

Thanks for the answer though - seems like Mumsnet have some cheeky little options not available here .

oooh and the kittens

Oh now wouldn't that be bliss, to be able to hide the threads that I don't wish to follow. And no, it's not just the political threads - there are others that drive me to distraction with their ever-presentness (no, I know that's not a real word ).
But recently, admittedly, it has been the referendum threads. I know I don't have to read them, but there has been such a ridiculous number of them, that they have taken over the 'actives' list and pushed other threads that might be of interest off the bottom. And now it's happening again with all the post referendum threads. It's not that I'm not interested, but we already have wall-to-wall news reporting and newspapers with 75% of the content referendum based. It really is just too flippin' much! I would love to have the choice to be able to hide some of them. Notice the word 'some'

Yes, GNHQ, let's have a 'hide' option.

They don't want us to have a 'like' button, but seriously, if Mumsnet have the 'hide' option, surely there is no reason on earth why we can't have it?

GNHQ, please can we have a 'hide' option like Mumsnet? Pretty please? I'll give you some cake

LOTS of cake GNHQ ?????????

Yes they do its in the top bar where it says active etc .

There are currently 18 threads in the 'Actives' list that are referendum related. EIGHTEEN

Yes,a hide button would be great. Sick to death of hearing about Brexit.

Part of the problem is they are not all in the News & Politics section.

I'd rather be able to edit posts more than any other option.

It would be good if all mention of EU associated stuff could be posted under Politics, then we could choose to ignore it (or not, if that's what floats your boat!).

Yes, but the threads all end up in the Actives list, no matter which forum they are posted in. That's what is so damn irritating - the sheer number of them just push all the other threads off the bottom of the list.

I only really use the I'm on and Last hour buttons. That's a good way to cut down on the number of threads.
