oh no, for gawd sakes please no. I thought this was dead and buried. They are truly awful and add nothing of any worth or interest.

hativity · 19/12/2005 12:33

we can boycott can't we? I mean I assume use of said symbols won;t be compulsory.

alLIOluia · 19/12/2005 12:29

What are tickers?

baublerock · 19/12/2005 12:25

Another feature I like on MSE is that if you hover over the thread title you can read the first paragraph - which saves you opening threads that you're really not interested in. No more, "where can I find....." or "my DH bought me a...."

Can they not do a poll on here? At least then they could go with the majority not just the most vocal

harpsiheraldangelssing · 18/12/2005 18:33

seriously thought, am worried now
this is a wind up isn't it??

Blandmum · 18/12/2005 18:31

The trouble with tickers is that some people go mad with them, and then I get peed off trying to find the thrad in amongts the '5 weeks and 3 days to my hyterectomy' tickers

tillykins · 18/12/2005 18:28

I don't like the tickers but I do like the smileys! I'm for lots and lots and lots of smileys

I think the best chat forum I've been on is moneysavingexpert and that's because they are moderated really well although not hugely sensored, just threads kept in the appropriate topics. You can thank members by clicking a button. They have avatars but they are not overpowering. You can edit or delete your own posts. You can see new posts like on Mumsnet (active convo's) or look through topics. You can see who started the thread and who last posted. It works really well

Hulababy · 18/12/2005 17:31

Yes. It means you just don't see any avators, emoticons or tickers, etc - yours and everyone else.

LadyTophamInAChristmasHatt · 18/12/2005 17:27

hula, would switching them off stop youseeing everone elses ?

I use another site that has tham and althouhg I like the site it does amke it look cheap, tacky and cheesy.

MN is minimalist and should stay that way.

harpsiheraldangelssing · 18/12/2005 17:16

right????

KaiserSoze · 18/12/2005 17:13

Hulababy · 18/12/2005 17:12

Even if the site did get tickers and emoticon things there is normally an option on your own profile to turn them off - so you would never see them and be totally oblivous to the fact they were ever there.

hercules · 18/12/2005 17:11

remember when a mumsnetter posted on one of those sites how long it was to her next bowel movement.

KaiserSoze · 18/12/2005 17:10

hercules · 18/12/2005 17:10

SenoraPostrophe · 17/12/2005 19:53

LadyTophamInAChristmasHatt · 17/12/2005 19:49
