There's a 'No in the news' button.......

[CheGueviley]

I am disproportionately excited seeing as I probably wont use it.

But WOO-HOO anyway!!!!

[NormaStanleyFletcher]

Good isn't it

So, if MNHQ puts a no button for every topic, what will people read ?

[MrsMarvel]

See, MN do listen!
I do wish they would get rid of the "include special needs" button. If not I want a historical explanation of why special needs should be excluded.

[WaldenYapp]

Perhaps we should add a 'block this poster from my view so I don't have to see theirs' button as well

[CheGueviley]

Peraps they should add a 'Disallow WaldenYapp from using the ' button?

[WaldenYapp]

Perhaps they should. So you will not be able to see my posts. That would be better obviously.

[CheGueviley]

What?
Is there something wrong with your posts that we should know about?

[WaldenYapp]

Absolutely not, AFAIK. I just find it bewildering that 'without .....' boxes are popping up every time there is a row.

[CheGueviley]

Fantastic - 4 rows in 7 years.

[WaldenYapp]

Actually you will find that the boxes have popped up in the last 2 years, actually maybe even less than that. But I don't want to argue with you in particular as it is not that important in the grand scheme of things

[CheGueviley]

To be fair, arguing with me is fairly important in the grand scheme of things. But pleased you dont want to all the same.

[Egypt]

there's a good reason for the 'include special needs' box, but i can't remember what it is. anyway it was requested by the parents who frequent the sn boards

[LieselVentouse]

An "In the news" thread turned into a row??? Why???

[TnOgu]

LV -how are ye?

How's Catriona?

[Trinityrhino]

something about maddy and the fact that not everyone wants it stuffed in their face when they log on.........but I may be wrong

[LieselVentouse]

tnog my sweet, i was looking for you cause i didnt think i had spoken to you since i had her. she is fine, feeding at the moment - hence the bad typing

[LieselVentouse]

how can people get so touchy - its main news at the moment so why not discuss

[TnOgu]

< Good to hear, LV.

I think of you often. >

[dustystar]

The special needs thing came up because there were quite a few occasions where people piled onto a SN thread and were very critical and hurtful to some of the parents on the SN board. It was felt that some of these paople may not have noticed that they were posting on a SN thread - thus the 'include SN' button.

[CheGueviley]

Really Dustystar?
I wondered about that too. Thanks.

(BTW, There was no row )

[lou33]

yes, dusty is right

i like the sn option

[saggarmakersbottomknocker]

I like In the News but need a 'without tabloid gossip' tickbox.

And whilst we're on the subject when the 'Christmas' topic comes online I want a 'without Christmas' tickbox please. Bah humbug.

[lou33]

oh yes please about xmas, the thought of it makes my chest hurt

[Skribble]

When I first started on here I remember naively stumbling onto a special needs thread oblivious to what it was all about,
