Can you help us to improve the Mumsnet site?

I never use the @ function because I turned it off as soon as it came out,and I have no idea whether the person I am conversing with uses it or not.

So I just bold the name or quote and bold and that always works just fine.

No like button, no editing, no quotes

Thanks!

I would also like an edit button that was only good for a few minutes.

A quote button would be great so that you don't have to scroll back up threads to see which comment people are replying to

I find the @ thing incredibly useful. Unless people use it I often miss responses to my posts.

I’d like a like button. Facebook is t the only site with it so don’t know why people are so against it.

Never used Twitter?

A time-bound edit button so I can correct typos.

There are too many boards, and I find the expanding list of forum boards very difficult to manouvre. I end up living in the Active threads rather than looking at particular boards ....

The @ thing is awful and I wish it had never been added. I have turned the emails off.

Definitely not a like button!

I do like the collapse thread to show only OP's posts idea.

I don't care if we have an edit function or not (but do make it time limited) it doesn't matter about typos because everyone makes them and it's usually clear what is meant. Yes there is the odd one where an important word like "not" is missed but it's quickly remedied.

Fix the sticky typing!

Threaded view.

It's not hard, just a bit of a Pita to have to copy and paste someone's username to post that I agree with them. And in a long thread I'll often want to register that one or two people have hit the nail on the head as I'm reading down but my clipboard only holds one username to paste IYSWIM? So often the brilliance of other users goes unacknowledged because I tend up copying the username I want to reply to rather than the one/s I agree with. I just think it is would be nice, when people have crafted a well thought-out reply, to have a simple and easy way to acknowledge that.

can't posters disagree vehemently with and castigate people they don't like using written messages currently?

Yes, and it is there with their name attached for all to see.

What is so hard about using words?

Make it useable on safari, so there is no lagging or reloading of the page. If a thread is long it can be impossible to post. I am tired of having to change browsers.

Timed edit button- 5 minutes at most.

A reply to post button for easy quoting.

Be better if there weren't so many people desperate to correct everyone's grammar and spelling, then posters wouldn't feel the need to do a second post with a correction.
But TBF it takes seconds anyway.

OK Twitter username, I kind of take your point on a short time limit. But as many posts here show, it is one of the things many people want. We all make mistakes and typos. Surely most of us would like to have the chance to correct them?

I have never experienced that on MN. Quite disappointed it exists tbh. I'd have thought anyone being bullied would change their username, very easy to do on MN, but I suppose for some it's part of their identity?

Also, can't posters disagree vehemently with and castigate people they don't like using written messages currently? Are there mumsnetters so hated that they'd get 50+ people liking every statement that disagrees with them? Or would it only be a few? It's a nightmare of intrigue I didn't know existed.

A way to answer a particular post/poster so you don't have to copy and paste.

Surely that's only an issue if there is also a dislike button?
It could be used to like a post disagreeing with someone else just because they have a problem with them.

I would like an increase in the number of photos you can post per day, so that next time I have a large Playmobil event it doesn't take me 5 days to post all the photos!

IMHO You can't have an Edit button (except maybe a 5 minute window to edit original posts for typos) - it would destroy the whole integrity of the thread.
Given how argumentative threads often get you'd get the "But you said this before..." only to find out that particular nugget had been edited out, thereby making a nonsense of those requests.
And if lots of people were to ask for the same bit of info that the OP then edits into the original post those subsequent posts would not make sense and would be redundant.

Sometimes I just want to read OP updates without having to scroll through comments of hundreds of other posters. I know that OPs posts are highlighted but I would like a function whereby you select only posts from the OP in that thread.

A like button would be a disaster for sure. There are people who have grudges against others as evidenced by a thread asking if anyone disliked any specific poster

Surely that's only an issue if there is also a dislike button?

EDIT BUTTON. EDIT BUTTON. EDIT BUTTON.

Not bothered about it being time limited, but we seriously need an EDIT BUTTON. It is perfectly reasonable to want to correct your own typos, or perhaps to add in something that you originally forgot.

No like or dislike buttons. I've seen them used to bully posters on other sites and don't doubt that it would happen here too.

More and better emojis. The available ones are basic and very dated now.
