Yes if a long thread looks like it is going to descend into mayhem I quickly go to 'show all messages' in case it disappears halfway through.

How does two tabs work? Cos if it goes poof you won't be able to get into the next page, surely?

Yup, and just refresh the oldest one. Then when it does go poof, you've got teh maximum posts possible.

I follow the advice of the king from Alice in Wonderland (who I believe to be a secret mumsnetter), I always begin at the beginning and go on till I come to the end: then stop.

Top to bottom, it's the only way.

That sounds like effort.

In other news, having seen Les Mis, I have decided that Eddie Redmayne will be my husband.

I like pages. It gives the thread some structure.

Hands off Edu.

Oh now I'm confused?

If I refresh the oldest one, won't it go poof anyway?

Perhaps I should have 2 PCs, 4 laptops and various hand held devices logged on...and I can run around the house like I'm spinning plates.

That should do it Grin

If you want to know where all the shizzle is going down that day, use AS to search for "Deleted By Mumsnet" or "Peace and love".

Takes you straighy to the flames...

Unfortunately if you look at my hoverererer, he might not be interested in me.

Unless he has a penchant for dumpy middle-aged women.

I just go to Active Convos and go for the threads with the most posts, as they're usually either contentious or funny.

I couldn't work out why everyone was crying. Then realised he was signing a sad song. I was too busy admiring his freckles. In all seriousness, I think he is the most beautiful man I have ever seen.

You can come with me and DD if you're in my neck of the woods Chaos. I still haven't seen it (due to the aforementioned tax return). But I still love Eddie since Tess of the D'Urbevilles (although Gemma Arterton was shite in that with her crap West Country accent and wooden accent).

lol at wise.

My proudest moment on MN was when buppy called me an atrocious cunt for slagging off Kurt Cobain. It doesn't get better than that.

Gemma Arteron can piss off.

Why is she famous? Has she been in anything good? She is wooden in all things I have seen.
