Okay so I put the Christmas Gathering thread on ignore and it stopped appearing at the top of the page. Yet today it’s reappeared at the top of every page.
I went into the thread and looked under thread options and I had an option to un-ignore the thread, so I definitely still had it on ignore it just isn’t working all of a sudden. For info the cross to click it closed isn’t there today either.
It looks like a glitch.
