Please GNHQ, pretty please, can we have.....

Great minds, MiniMoon!

Don't you have a 'Home' key on your laptop, Bathsheba?

Every single PC and laptop I've ever had (and that's several) had a 'Home' button. Just press that and you're back to the top. (And the 'End' button takes you to the bottom of the page)

There is a back to top button at the bottom of the page on the mobile site.
I don't have a computer or laptop, I have a tablet.

I too would like highlighted OP as the thread progresses.

You can substitute the "like" for ?

Another vote here for highlighting all posts on the thread that have been made by the O.P.

If Mumsnet can have it, why can't we?

The Like button would be useful sometimes, but would have have disadvantages too.

New and less confident members often say that they feel excluded when their posts aren’t acknowledged and the conversation of “regulars” just carries on around them.

Of course this isn’t deliberate - those who post on the “cosy” threads every day are bound to get to know each other and chat elsewhere on the forum - but the likelihood is that those same regulars getting dozens of Likes for every post would make newcomers feel even less welcome.

I really would like to see all OP posts highlighted though. Some have said this happens already on their phones, but it certainly doesn’t on mine.

I think a 'like' button is vital. Many times, several people are of the same viewpoint. It would reduce repeat posts if we could simply 'like' what someone else has said.
Other sites have it, why not this one?

I agree Lucca, but it doesn't have to be an either/or request. Why can't we have both?

I’d much prefer the OP posts to be highlighted in green all through the thread. It might solve the perennial issue of OP saying “ it’s OK I sortex the problem” Which is then folllowed by a load of posts by people who don’t read anything but the original post..........??

OK, so I've just looked at GN on my iPhone and see that the mobile site does have a 'back to top' button. So why doesn't the desktop site have this?

Bathsheba if you want to whizz back to the top without scrolling, just point to any of the other thread titles and you will be back to "active" in nanoseconds

Hmm, am I being a bit dense here? I don't really know what you mean. Here's a screenshot, where I'm at the bottom of a page. Where are the other thread titles I can point to?

I agree with both.

I would prefer a "Like" option for posts.

That one has been requested over and over and over again, and always refused. No point asking, it ain't gonna happen!
