People who add a dot or f

[SlummyMummy77]

Why can't people just 'watch' or on facebook 'turn on notifications'. Interested in a thread and you see some activity only to discover somebody has just added a dot or a f.

Placemarking

.

Actually before I knew what f meant it used to annoy me as I had no idea why people were doing it!

F

admin need to step up and tell them off...I did this once, explained in a tagged (offenders were tagged) post how to use FB properly get notifications without being a ninny.

apparently they were affronted to be told off, but no one f/.'s in the group any more. :o

It is a pet peeve of mine tbh. ...see also repeatedly tagging non members of a group in a group and moaning that tagging is not working. Clue...it's because the person you are tagging in NOT in the group. doofus

Yep I agree. Just watch and bookmark. Then it’ll appear on the ‘watching’ tab and zoom to your last read comment when you click on it. Save having to clutter up thread with lots of ‘placemarking tee hee’ posts. Just actually placemark (bookmark).

Agreed, but I think lots of people still don’t know this is an option. I try to politely mention to people where I can because threads of ‘following!’ are a pain in the arse!

i also hate multiple posts! #mumsnetproblems!

dearie me! ...wonder how many times this will post!

^^

.f.f.f.

I don’t have any good advice but I’m sure someone who does will come along soon.

People must think they're funny by doing it. So predictable.

Ignorant here, what foes 'f' mean?

There was a thread a few months ago where the poster was going through an awful time and people were actually posting an f or a . Bloody ignorant!

I don't do Facebook but would like to know what it means as I dont know either.

I loathe it when someone pipes up with, 'marking my place', makes them sound like a dog pissing on a lamp post.

It's just because some people aren't very tec savvy. But it does get annoying when it's a fast moving thread and you end up trawling through pages of shit and .s/f's to see if the OP has been back . Someone had commented on a thread about customising a page so you only see the OPs comments but I can't seem to do that on my laptop - that would be great!!

A dot? 😂

i didnt have a clue what it meant for ages and one of the groups im in there is a poster who f comments on all her own posts which makes no sense to me
