Might highlighting of OPs depend on one's browser as well as one's device?

They are highlighted on both my laptop and my phone and my own posts on whatever thread are highlighted too. Green for OPs; GN muddy pink for me.

Gutted.

I'm Penny Plain as well, although I'd like to be Tuppence Coloured ☹

I feel unchosen in every way on GN so stop stealing all the thunder.

It's a bitter pill to swallow, I know.
We are the unchosen ones...

Gutted.

Sorry, you're not special enough, Kitty

Oh my God I am special then. This is great. GN is obviously individually tailored to my needs.

Well, I am on a Samsung phone and the OPs posts are not highlighted (apart from the first one) - to whom do I complain?

Well, personally, I always boil my potatoes first.

I don’t see the point of posting on a thread if you haven’t read it all, because of course it becomes repetitive and often inappropriate. If the post has deviated too much from the original, especially towards personal disagreements, which some seem to love, and which garner the most attention, I just don’t bother.

You mean like this one!

I'm using a samsung phone, too, but no highlights for me.

Not RTFT is, in my eyes incredibly rude. It assumes that the non-reader can just butt into a conversation with their thoughts and then butt out again, as though other contributors just don’t matter.

I have never known a discussion board as lax as GN on this subject - most are very unforgiving of such selfish behaviour. I have learned to respect the norms of this board but will never see not bothering to look at what others have to say as acceptable. It just doesn’t compute in my mind 😂.

So I always see Ops posts highlighted, I am not so special it only happens to me. I post using a Samsung phone so I assume it is dependent on what you use to post.

Don’t use ‘em, don’t like ‘em. Basically.

How can it be different on the same device though?
Is it different on the same device?

It's done on here, it just depends on your device.

It depends how long the thread is when I come to it as to whether I do or don’t RTWT. This is why I wish the OP further comments were highlighted all the way through the thread so that it’s possible to skim read to them to find out if things have been resolved or not. However, GN are reluctant to do this, for some reason, which is very odd as it’s done on MN.

👍 😁

I am wondering whether or not we could introduce AWSTAT
Are we still talking about this

Thanks,
I'd never have known without your sage advice.

“It makes no sense”

“It looks a bit daft”

“I really dislike”

Easy solution: move on. Read something else 🙂
It does work as a strategy, I promise .

It makes no sense if has been an ongoing situation, which the op has updated throughout the thread.

Fine if people want to respond angrily to a resolved situation, and they have the time, of course, but it looks a bit daft.

I agree. It’s not about rules but being respectful to other posters IMO by not ignoring what has already been said.
I really dislike acronyms for relatives with D in front (for dear).
Sounds outdated and reminds me of couples frequently calling each other “dear”.

I thought that was it too!

Oh dear.

Is FH Flipping Husband? (he's washed up 🙂 but left half a bowl of dirty washing up water and a dirty sink ☹)

GN, guidelines apart, is essentially free ranging. I think some people just don't get that. Shame really. They'd perhaps enjoy it more if they did.
