As we are talking about behaviour on gn,

Sorry just in case.

It bugs me too when I've posted something and later someone else says virtually the same thing. And yes, it's even more irritating if they get a response and I didn't, especially if it's about a link we both posted. But this says more about me than anything else tbh and I just try to let it go.

However, I do agree with POGS about taking the time to read through post about more serious subjects. My reasons for doing this is to respect the other posters and not look stupid.

Re posting a reply after reading through several pages, what I do is type my reply in stages on a notepad app and then copy and paste it in the reply box. Easy peasy.

Re getting all the posts on one page, I have a Show all messages option at the top of the thread. Click on that and 5 pages on this thread become one long one.

. I don't have that option. Not on my laptop, nor on the mobile site on my iPhone. I've even checked my iPad to see if for any strange reason that is different, but it's not. Where does it say that on yours Purpledaffodil?

Sausages.

Re getting all the posts on one page, I have a Show all messages option at the top of the thread. Click on that and 5 pages on this thread become one long one.

Quite often I start reading a thread and some way into it get to a point I want to address, so I do that. Then I don't always read the rest of the thread.

I also agree with whoever (*jings*?) said that if the thread title is a question, then you can just jump in and answer the question without looking to see what other people have said. Others may have given the same answer in effect but I don't think that matters. It can be quite good to have a lot of people giving you the same answer.

I'm not really paranoid about not being responded to. Not sure though about the 'like' button. It could cause people to feel a bit inadequate. I'm used to Twitter but sometime if I make a 'witty' comment on there, I wonder why no one responds. Sad, aren't I? Must get a life, or grow a pair

Thank you so much Galen and Synonymous. I no longer feel invisible!

I mean cooked, but just strange and dense, even the seagulls refused it.

Any banana cake I have attempted lately hasn't just had a soggy bottom, it has been soggy all the way through [why]

shortish chat type threads.
A bit like a couple of people I know then, who don't chat but completely ignore what you have just said then carry on down their own road and then repeat what you said five minutes before, thinking it's their own thoughts
It's not really a conversation

Just watching the Sport Relief Bake Off and I am going to try the banana and raisin muffins. Hope you don't have a soggy bottom like Ed Balls jingle.

I think I will go and make a real cake. To cheer up a rainy afternoon.

Perhaps I made a mistake by using the word statement , maybe I should have said only interested in their own contribution ,thought. Is that better. [cake]

I'm not really talking about advice threads where I would agree with your method, but shortish chat type threads.

I mean, if advice is asked, why should we need to know what others think?

I don't think there is anything wrong in simply making your own statement. Perhaps best not to be influenced by what others say. We must not be tempted to adopt a 'sheep' attitude.

And, I agree with POGS,

I thought I had done it too, and it has on this thread but not on others.
Going to do something else now

Sorry, 'save options' not changes.

Found it Indinana, it's under 'customise'!
Yes I know it is Jalima. That's where I go to try to change it, but every time I hit 'save changes, it just reverts to 100.

I have my threads set up so they are all continuous, on one page

Jalima

I was talking in general , sorry please don't think I was reponding to your posts.

It's because I was going back reading through the thread before replying that I got in a muddle with replying though, POGS

I could be sorted now!
