Read the posts

If all the OP's posts were in green . . . . {grin]

Yes, it often puts me off posting if I see that a thread is going round in circles because people only respond to early posts. It strikes me as very rude - just as it would in a face to face conversation if someone ignored other people and just repeated what someone else said ages ago.

As has been said, though, there is clearly a school of thought that it is unreasonable to ask people to read the thread so that they can add to it, rather than repeat things, so I can't see the issue getting resolved either.

Sometimes by the the time you’ve written a post on quite an active thread, 5 people have made more or less the same point at what looks to be at the same time by the time you’ve finished writing and then posted. We can all think that someone will make that point and then not bother, but if we all did that ??‍♀️

Posters repeating suggestions already made ( by me) is one reason I rarely post.
Feel free to repeat the above ?

Meant to say, masks are obligatory here, 1200€ fine if not worn. Indoors and out.

Oh dear I hope I wasn't guilty of that on the Joggers post Mary. I must admit that sometimes if the post is long I tend to skip over it.

Ha ha, I mean that in a good way, biba70, your comment made me chuckle.
It was the same at the beginning of lockdown, one poster even threatened to report me to 'the authorities', for breaking the rules, no matter how many times I said that I lived in the Granny flat in the family home in Belgium !!
Ok school walk now, then we are going to make lemon Drizzle cake when we get home.

I also find it irritating but maybe some posts cross. I am using the mobile site and all the original posters comments are green. It might not be the same on the desktop site

Ah but if you live in Belgium and ... are Scottish - surely you are not entitled to an opinion on GN, Felice ;) x

On Mumsnet not only are all the OPs comments in green there is now (just recently) the option to “see all” which results in every post by the OP being listed in it’s entirety.
On a long thread (and they can be very long on Mumsnet) it is really helpful.

Dead right MerylStreep.

Felice
I feel your pain ? I saw that. I was sorely tempted to say for christs sake, how many more times does she have to say she lives in Belgium

I think it's very rude. To me it's the same as a conversation where you have said something and it's obvious people can't be arsed to listen ( read) what you've said. They are just interested in what they want to say

In my recent post I said I lived in Belgium and mentioned Belgian culture more than once but still got asked why I had not mentioned where I lived.
I also said I was Scottish and mentioned the traditions there but still got lectures.
It is one of the things which stops me starting posts.
In the site advertising on FB the comment on my post was along the lines of 'will I report her', mentioned nowhere in any of my posts.

Without meaning to be rude, you are wasting your time.
This comes up again and again and posters continue to repeat the same thing, because they either can't be bothered or don't have the time to read all the posts.
Or they offer a solution when the OP has already come back to say they have resolved the situation!

The joggers thread sorry Kitty, is a prime example.

I have to admit, it does irritate me! Highlighting ALL the OP's posts is a good idea.

aren't

No you're not sodapop!
But reading between the lines and answering questions that went raised is unreasonable in my book!!

Grannybags I've noticed this suggestion raised many times.
It would as you say be a lot easier.

If all the OPs responses were in green as the original post is it would make it a lot easier to see when they have responded.

We keep asking GNHQ for this but still waiting...!

I agree that to keep reading the same suggestions by different posters can get rather tedious
