Does this happen to anyone else?

Oh. Didnt realise there is a big problem.

Not sure I have even seen a Hip and Knee thread.
[I like to read that sort of thing even if I dont contribute].

Sounds like to me, and I could be way off, that threads that get large, get less priority on the Active List, if you see what I mean?

But you are saying it is actually worse than that.
It takes 3 posts in quick succession on the Hips and Knees, for something to appear at all.

Makes me wonder if, when a thread keeps reappearing[the decluttering one is on about 400 posts] and has gone on for a couple of months, the GN system deliberately suppresses threads like that in some way.

As others may know, I have been on and on and on about this for ages.

There are three separate threads in site stuff about it. Only one started by me.
It’s been a problem for over two years, at least.

I actually emailed Mumsnet about it around a month ago.
The thanked me, said that it must be a glitch in the algorithm and that they see what they could do.
It’s still happening.
But, it’s progress - when I’ve bought it up before, I don’t think that whoever was dealing with it understood what the problem was.

I’ve noticed on The Hip & Knee Replacement thread (which is invisible more often than not) that three is the magic number; as in it takes three posts in quick succession to get the thread into the Active List.

I know that many people say that it doesn’t really matter, but threads such as those are a really helpful resource; and the more ‘casual’ GNetter who was on their replacement ‘journey’ might not even know that it exists.

(It’s the third Hip & Knee thread, and to add insult to injury, it also happened with the second one
🙄 )

Oh dear. Didnt realise there are glitches exactly.
I did notice that some posts[not meaning necessarily mine]seemed to make the page go down the active list. On the more large threads.

Could it be algorithims rather than glitches? Not that I know much about that sort of thing.

I use Active Topics to view the site, and yes, I often find that posts and threads slip from the page. It's annoying, as the button to show more topics doesn't work, and most of the time I have no idea which forum the thread was in so I can find it.

It's one of those random glitches that are so annoying, such as the quote button only working on my phone about 30% of the time.
