to thank MNHQ for taking the stance that having "number of views" data on a thread is just totally erroneous and potentially saddening to posters, unlike other websites which do?

"1637 views, no relpies."

Big bottom lip.

Thank you Mumsnet.

I don't understand?

Chaos lovey, I have absolutely no idea what you are rambling about but I am happy to agree. Brew [hot chocolate]

Absolutely agree. Those forums where you get '5000 views, 0 replies' are horrible - makes me not want to post anything.

At least on here when I get ignored I can pretend it's because it's so busy that no one saw my post, rather than get the idea that I'm staggeringly boring/unpopular! Grin

I used to post on a forum that did this for a little while. Whenever a slight argument broke out the number of views suddenly shot up sky high as there were tons of lurkers who were enjoying the entertainment.

Still on pre-bedtime duty Maryz, and the hot choc goes nicely with the log fire. Believe me the wine is on order for around 8pm.

MrsKitty I spend the majority of my time on here getting ignored so now I think Fuck It and just carry on regardless.

MrsKitty · 03/02/2012 19:08

Thanks Maryz & Pascha for noticing, and commenting on my post Grin.

Pascha, yes, that's the stance I take on here too. Rather like it actually. I figure everyone can't reply everything, and yes, sometimes, perhaps I am staggeringly boring, just don't need that confirmed by a ticker showing me how many people thought so!
