To think my friends aren’t coming?

UnluckyCoil · 01/04/2023 17:16

Arranged earlier in the week for a catch up round mine which is a rarity as my DH is away- both friends agreed to come.
This morning at 9am, put a message in the group chat asking what time they were coming so I can make sure my house is tidy, make sure baby is asleep etc and neither have them have replied or even opened the message.
They are the kind of people who have theirs phones with them 24/7 so can’t imagine they’ve not looked at their phones for 8hrs.
I don’t mind but I guess I just want to know either way.. and I’ve bought drinks and snacks. I’d feel embarrassed to put a chase message in the group chat.
They aren’t coming are they?

I keep my phone on silent. I hate phone alert noises. Dp does the same.

You'd better watch out for 23 April, all of our phones will go off like sirens with the test scheme!

It’s a fairly new addition.

Nope. Works for me and I’m in the cheap seats. It might not work on the app.

Works for me too but I'm not on the app either.

On the iphone app you can click on the sort of funnel icon at the top right of a thread and filter to 'show only posts by OP'. You need a premium account to filter any other users' posts but anyone can filter to see OP's only. Saves lots of time and scrolling!

This applies to the web version too, but you just click 'See all' at the side of 'OP posts:' at the bottom right of their posts.

It's not. It's been around for years. On the website you can even colour code all the OPs posts.

I'm not on premium and I've always done it.

Nope. Works on free on both app and web browser

Red0 · 03/04/2023 19:57

I checked OPs posts and see no update or outcome. Can anyone enlighten me?

SpaghettifingerFusillitoe · 03/04/2023 20:00

Yeah I tracked her IP and went to her house to get an updatE but she wouldn’t even tell me in person when I demanded to know- super rude

Surely not for years, it seems like a relatively new thing, much later than the colour coding

Twatalert · 03/04/2023 21:38

Oh my god OP can't you at least give thumps up or down so I can move on?

Colour coding has been around for years. ‘See all’ is a year or two at most.

Yeah I was gonna do that but then I got distracted by fluff on the mantelpiece.

I do hope you were dressed in suitable attire and called the cops.

Newbie999 · 03/04/2023 22:00

It’s 10
pm and no

I can't do it. So annoying.

Twinedpeaks · 04/04/2023 08:54

@Snugglemonkey on the app go to any OP's post, swipe from right to left, and press see all.

Twinedpeaks · 04/04/2023 08:54

Sorry press filter, not see all
