Highlighting all OP posts, as on Mumsnet

I think it's a good idea, particularly if the thread is related to a specific problem and everyone piles in with their two cents worth. Ultimately, the reader wants to know the reaction of the poster, and how they intend to solve/proceed, or whether there has been any advancement or resolution.

GN doesn’t attract the revenue like mumsnet, in fact I suspect I suspect it is run at a loss, so the only thing that will be taken up with much enthusiasm are ideas for making money.

I agree. It's something we keep asking for but for some reason GNHQ wont/can't make it happen

MerylStreep ?

I agree, Maggiemaybe! I like to come back to a thread to see if the OP has actually returned to post. Often someone starts a thread and never comes back!. It's so annoying, when people have taken the trouble to respond. ?

I rarely go on MN maggie but it seems like a good idea.

Apart from anything else, on those threads where someone comes asking for advice, and gradually adds bits to their story, it would make it easier to get the full picture.
And it would make it easier to spot those occasional posters who ask for advice on a rather unusual problem and then never come back, leaving those who have taken the trouble to reply wondering if they’ve been the victims of a wind-up.

I'm afraid we are the poor relation to MN. I'm sure all requests from us are discussed, and then binned.
