EP. By Gransnet Daily, do you mean the 5 titles listed under Trending or is it the newsletter? I’ve never bothered with the latter. Thanks.

Goodness, this is complete gobbledygook to me.

I’m sure that it’s okay

Ah, thank you.

This present thread is not itself a thread about a thread, it is about Gransnet Daily.

As far as I am aware it is perfectly fine to include a link to another thread where that link is relevant to the topic of the thread.

A thread about a thread about a thread
The management aren’t keen on threads about threads

Perhaps I could start a thread about this thread?
ATAATAAT?

Yes you could.

What does ATAATAAT mean please?

EP I think that you are wildly exaggerating ‘the influence of GN daily’.

No, it is a thread about the effect of a thread being given headline treatment in Gransnet daily.

So if

www.gransnet.com/forums/chat/1301063-Would-you-like-to-join-my-merry-band

gets headline treatment one day maybe a recording might get made and get onto YouTube.

Maybe it might get sponsored.

So, is this a thread about a thread?

FannyCornforth Sun 19-Sept-21 14:51:21

And you’ve started a thread, linking to your own thread! That’s a first!

FannyCornforth Sun 19-Sept-21 14:50:01

Congratulations EP ?
It’s how advertising works smile

It is an interesting phenomenon how the mention of a thread as the title feature of Gransnet Daily often results in a massive increase in posts to a thread.

For example, today the thread

www.gransnet.com/forums/relationships/1301027-How-is-a-mother-in-law-addressed

is the title feature and lots of new posts have appeared.
