As I described. If it had worked I’d never ask. Weird little glitch because it’s always worked before. I’ve tried here more than 20 times and I can’t make it hidden to save my life. Rather, it’s marked hidden but is actually not. Hence the request.

Kitty on good people. Thanks for your consideration.

There are some threads I’m not interested in so I just don’t click on them. Has that not worked on your device?

Ignore and hide always worked before. Not for this group and individual poster.

I know everybody’s got stressors in life and this ranks pretty low down on the hierarchy but I’d sure like not to see some in particular. Thanks for your kind note.



Also, I like pets, I like dogs and cats and hamsters and all kinds of pets. I have a great dog. He doesn’t say much

At least that's my understanding. I'm the same with forums like sports and gaming.

I feel somewhat responsible for your issue and 'get it' that I might do a bit of over sharing. Of course if you've put me on ignore, you won't see this, anyway!

I must be more dinged up than usual because it is genuinely irking me. I’ve been trying for weeks. Actually months. It’s crazy. Am I the only one that can’t get rid of this group? It’s gone briefly and then here’s the update.
I have kept the adjectives out of my notes here to you guys on this matter on purpose

First, are you subscribed to the group? If so, you can go to https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1161 and click on the red button that says "unsubscribe me from this group."
That should make the posts stop showing up in your "my subscriptions" feed.

There's also a button there that says " Trash this forum. I have never used that, so I don't know exactly what it does

I don't think anyone on this group has the power to make forum invisible to you. You could try to going to Ask the Administrators and make a query there. Here's a direct link: https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=ata

Sorry, but that's all I've got! Good luck.

I've never used that "Trash" feature myself, but it sounds like it's not working the way it's supposed to. Ask the Administrators has a form where you can put in your question and submit it directly to the site administrators. Maybe they can help.

it doesn't affect the visibility of the group's threads.

Trashing this group and putting some individuals on Ignore should make their threads and (in the latter case) their individual replies invisible, but as someone pointed out, the threads will still show up in the Greatest Threads and Trending boxes on the home page. I sure wish there was a way to hide those from view.

I don't know what happens on the Greatest Threads page. Or the Latest Threads page. I suppose I could experiment.

FWIW, there's apparently only one group host of pets, Stinky The Clown (click the About This Group button). The other host is TorchTheWitch who hasn't posted since 2016.
