As we are talking about behaviour on gn,

And me!

Can you take a degree in Gransnetting? Or some sort of course.

jings how do you manage to get all the posts on one page? Every time I try to select 1000 posts per page, and then 'save changes', it just reverts to 100. I've tried loads of times, logged out of GN, logged back in and tried again. Nothin' doin'. It just won't bl@@dy work

I don't know. I've always done it this way.

That would be too complicated for me.
Too complicated for me too jings. Just trying to accommodate Jalima

might just have to ask GNHQ why it doesn't work for me then.

Well it's gonna be too complicated for 'er!

Jingls
I can only have up to 100 messages, but thank you, just tried it and there are 78 on here already!

Indinana thank you, I will try to remember to do that

It means I can just whizz down through all the posts, on my iPad mini, right down to the OP. And the message box.

Or flip the whole thing if I want to see the OP again.

and after I posted it reverted to four pages

oh dear, it can't be me, it's my pc

and again .....

Found it Indinana, it's under 'customise'!

I don't think as some obviously do, sorry to be a tad obtuse, I will make my apologies now. Why post if you haven't been following the crux of the thread or get a feeling for others points of views.

I suppose there are different ways of looking at it but to my mind if you post without ' at least ' taking the trouble to read the last days posts on a thread you are only interested in making a statement but not interested in engaging in debate or even interested in what others think. I will clarify that by saying that I only feel that way on threads that are of a more serious nature not light hearted ones that ask how you wash your bum or pick your nose as the topic of conversation. . That's why threads on the same subject get repeated and posts mirror those already there. Now threads can be doubled up because the latter is started a few days later than the original but flipping heck when they are practically straight away it is showing the latter poster has not bothered to even check if they are being original. I know it happens and it is good when the second poster acknowledges the fact and magnanimously directs posters to the original thread.

I guess we are all different but I like to read what others have to say before posting as it's engaging with fellow posters .

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!

Jalima

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

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

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.

Sorry, 'save options' not changes.

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

And, I agree with POGS,

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.

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

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

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