Can't be arsed to read it all acronym and green highlighting please, oh Great Ones

Well done baggs.

Well baggs I clicked on your "this thread" link above and it took me to the thread about acronyms.
I read the page but I was completely stumped by what CARE meant and how come everyone else knew except me.
I was just about to pose the question when I realised your link above had taken me directly to page 2of 2 and the reason I didn't know what CARE was is because it was posted on page 1.

I suppose that's what happens when you CBATRTWT

Certainly one of the possible things, crafting

I second Baggs

Green highlighting of all posts in a thread from the OP would be very useful.
It's a function Mumsnet has so should be easy to carry over.

I do not even understand this thread, let alone any of the acronyms.

I definitely support the highlighting thing. ?

Me too - the highlighting of posts from OP.

I had to read through the wholethread to get back to page one Monica when CARE was suggested meaning Can’t be arsed to read everything Personally I think that’s pretty destructive sentence and anyway I hate acronyms a real pet hate of mine as I have a brain that needs to translate all the time especially when we get things like sil meaning sister in law or son in law so you have to read it all again to make sense of it then all this darling or dear business gets on my txxx Why people can’t just write words I ll never understand Either lazy or trying to be cool

Either lazy or trying to be cool

No, not lazy BlueBelle - I can touch type and if I use my laptop it's not a problem to type granddaughter / father-in-law etc in full. But if I'm using my mobile phone, it's a different matter entirely and I'm very grateful to be able to key in GD or FiL. Remember, there are some people who only access Gransnet by phone, and the abbreviations must be very welcome to them

Bluebelle, have to agree with all your points. The only time I'd use an acronym would be if it was too explicit to write out, you know which ones I mean. I too hate this DGc Ddil etc.

Me too BlueBelle and I don't understand why using a phone makes it harder

I use a phone or my iPad and don’t find it any different to write father in Law to fil I knew what I said wouldn’t be popular but it’s nice to know at least two people feel frustrated by it as well as me

Hi HQ are the OPs posts going to "go green" - was this discussed and if so what was the outcome?

I ve still no idea what any of this is about as the OP posts have always been green ??? for me

Here too BlueBelle No joy with the new acronym yet then.

I don't see OP posts highlighted in green except for the original post - it would be great to see later contributions also highlighted ingreen.

If some posters can already see this, it can't be too much of a problem to extend to all devices (I'm using a PC) I suppose?

Yes the original post is green but not if the OP adds to the thread later

I agree highlighting in green all further comments made by the OP would be helpful.
(As on MN)

Just used my phone to look at Gransnet and discovered that later posts by OP are now highlighted in green, but same ones are not highlighted on iPad. Haven’t checked laptop, but hope this will be extended to all devices Gransnet can be viewed on.
Maybe some others will check and confirm that what I’m seeing isn’t just a fluke.

Not on my iPad or my phone still just the original post in green
