There have been calls on here over the years for all posts on a thread by the original poster to be highlighted, as they are on Mumsnet, which makes it easier to follow the progress of the discussion.
Mumsnetters now have the facility to choose to see all posts by the OP at the click of a button, which is even better, imho. It gives users an idea of whether reading the full thread is worth the time and effort. 
Do others agree that we seem to be falling behind here?
I agree maizie those long "quotes" are really annoying. Especially as I don't know how to do it.
I have started skimming over the quote within a quote posts. Recently one had five quotes within the post and then the poster's comment contained only three words!
It's like posters have found a new toy. 
Hello, we're listening. We're asking the question and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
For those who are able to see the OP's subsequent posts highlighted can you let us know what device and what browser you're using? That would be really helpful.
Re the quote facility, it is something that was requested by many users and we were happy we were able to get sorted for them. @sodapop - next to the poster's name there are the options "Add comment. Report. Quote." Click 'Quote' and it should work
Could the reason that Mumsnet threads are much longer be because they are allowed to run when they get a bit contentious whereas ours are often deleted? 
Oh! now I know how to use the quote thing. Thank you Lara. May I say that I quite like it being used - no complaints from me
Oh, the time I used to waste scrolling down to find the last post I’d read! 
A sort of mauvey pink welbeck
