Just that really! I only joined a few months ago and have already learnt a lot of useful (and some less useful) stuff. On the whole I've been impressed by the tone of helpful solidarity and good-natured humour that prevails. But every now and then I'm wondering what I'm missing: why do some threads get hardly any replies, but others with pretty much the same question get loads? Why, as I read somewhere here, are displays of affection such as xx or virtual hugs a big no-no? Why does posters' whininess seem to be more accepted than neediness or petulance? (Huge generalisation, maybe unjustified) I'm a bit surprised about myself that I care, but I guess during the marathon of night feeds MN has become a rather good companion whose dynamics and rules I'd like to know better.
I'm not trying to be controversial, by the way, just genuinely curious.

Links are really fucking easy!!!!!!!!!!
Even on a phone you can do it!
Really!
just look down there at bottom on the page & it's all laid out for you
(whew been wanting to say that for a while now - so many posters say "I CAN'T do links"!!! Yes you can - just TRY) 
BeCool
I'm not always good at that sort of thing and now you made me feel like I'm stupid.
there's no bottom page on my phone, not that I can see.
but someone's already kindly answered so not sure why the rage
ah well, maybe I'm just oversensitive right now coz I've just found out something quite disturbing.
and still no [choc]
Ah well I should clarify they are ONLY easy on the phone if FIRST you know how to do them on a computer :)
But I will copy them here for you, if you want to give it a go (this is one way - the easiest way):
//www.mumsnet.com gives www.mumsnet.com
Mumsnet gives Mumsnet
Go on give it a go!
Another tip, is NEVER let random strangers on the WWW let you feel like you are stupid
bird
you mean like these? ??????
now that I can do on my phone
Until Mumsnet Towers sorts out [choc], here's some chocolate for y'all:
??????????
??????????
??????????
also white choc, coz I'm generous
??????????
??????????

Enjoy!
