Reading the thread (with our without the “f”)

I'm on a Samsung Galaxy, using the mobile site. I think that if I use the desktop site, the different colours appear.

No it doesn't!!

I also use a Samsung Galaxy tablet, but on my tablet ALL the OP's posts are coloured green and mine are coloured pink. All others are white..

That is so strange, I am also using a Galaxy tablet and that doesn't happen for me! 🤣

Or me. ???

Just checking: does RTFT mean Read the Full Thread?

Not that always will but it's good to know what acronyms that might be rude actually mean. TYIA (thank you in anticipation) 🙂

Not that I....

When I used to be on Mumsnet (never much but did go over there a few times), it seemed to me to be very common for subsequent posters to simply answer the opening post.

I do understand rosiesmaw's particular point that this thread has talked about but I don't agree that reading the whole thread is always necessary. Apart from anything else, sometimes it would take all day and anyway threads ramble and what's in the last hundred posts may well be about something completely unrelated to the opening post.

Like this one.

Also.... what bellasnana said holds in this instance, I think. So this should all be deleted.

I tried the mobile and desktop sites but no!

I think you could interpret it either way.

I am reporting this thread as I think it should be deleted before it causes any more distress!

Some people, myself included, go on this site for a few minutes at a time and do not have the time or inclination to read every reply to a post.

There is no need to tell people how they should use this forum, some want to read every post and reply, many do not, some want to reply some just read and go.

I also do not like it when anyone new posts, especially a man or younger person, and there is speculation as to who it really is or that they should not be on here at all. There is often the ridiculous suggestion that it is a teen posting, as if they would be interested in winding old people up or they would even be aware of this forum.

Why report this thread dragonfly46? I cannot see any rule breaking.

Oh there’s a few precious little petals around. I can’t be stuffed with this thread anymore, going back to the sane ones.

Not sure how long you've been on GN Theexwife but we've had a few trolls suspect posters over the years and many posters can sense a fake poster a mile off. Best to report suspicions to GNHQ, though.

Onesies and plimsolls anyone?

Callistemon21 I agree there have been a few suspect posters, however new people are jumped on straight away by some and in many cases have been wrong.

The person you mention was obviously a member with a double identity, who did it a few times,thankfully she seems to have left, although when her name is mentioned she appears within minutes so is still reading.

It’s a swear word, ending in king, starting with f

Theexwife no no rules have been broken but I feel certain people reading it will feel extremely distressed.

Ideally, reading the whole thread is the thing to do, but when it runs to many pages, that’s quite difficult, unless you have lots of time to read them. I agree with the posters who say that the OP’s comments should be highlighted throughout, so that you can scan them all before replying. If it can be done on mumsnet, why not gransnet - it’s the same company.

I don’t know who the ‘certain people’ are but it’s ironic that you feel they will feel extremely distressed when this thread was started because of the likelihood of distress having been caused to someone who posted that her husband had received a devastating diagnosis and even after she posted that he had died people who hadn’t RTFT were posting their advice on coping with the diagnosis - even on the day of his funeral.

I don't think anyone is telling others what to do though. The OP is asking people to be considerate because of a particular incident that caused distress, and after that people have simply said whether they personally prefer it when others read the thread or not. Nobody has said it bothers them particularly, just expressed a preference.

There seems to be a lot of angst on her just now. Whenever people express an opinion they are told they are being dictatorial. It's a discussion site, and people are discussing - what's wrong with that?

Thank you, Lucy Anna; genuinely had no idea; thought it was 'full'!
(Now can you explain the title: Reading the thread
(with our ???without the “f”) ?

I would think that if the comments were kindly meant, which they all seemed to be, the recipient would not be too distressed by the fact that some posters had not read her latest bulletin.

As this is a TAAT (thread about a thread) it shouldn't have been allowed to gather momentum and not so long ago such threads were deleted post haste.

I imagine it was meant to be with OR without the “f”, but far be it from me to challenge anyone’s grammar or spelling…..
