I used to think that I was a good writer. But, since joining MN, I have to face the sad realisation that this is untrue. If I comment on a thread, it dies, and if I start a thread, no one answers! I give up. I know I am a good reader, I will stick to that from now on....

I'm a thread killer too or I feel as if whatever I've just said is ignored and glossed over. Not here but on another forum I'm on. I've said loads of times I'd leave but more fool me still goes back :(

Your all not as scary here as I'd heard you were before I started reading this forum Grin

amazingmumof6 · 24/05/2013 12:45

glad you're here, please stay!Smile

Roomfor1more · 24/05/2013 12:56

Thanks amazingmumof6 I have 4 kids myself, I made up my name when I had only 2!!! Grin

Love reading here, great to see people with differing opinions and views. I still giggle to myself about the Peppa Pig thread a few weeks back, too funny!

Thumbtack · 24/05/2013 13:05

Hijack - AIBU to think that 7am on a Saturday morning is too early to phone for a chat?

Iteotwawki · 24/05/2013 20:25

And one more question. How do you do stars and squares? V impressed!

Thumbtack · 24/05/2013 20:28

roomfor1more I didn't want to ignore or gloss over your post! So did you join mn before your last two were born?

Thumbtack · 24/05/2013 20:33

Iteotwawki - how the hell did you do that????

You must be into the dark arts . .

I've been given the nickname Zing on another thread, feel free to use it y'all Grin

Iteotwawki · 24/05/2013 20:42

Tee hee Grin

There used to be more ways (I think 3 at least) but apparently blank posts annoy Tech. I think they cause Odd Glitches. So now there's only one way left and MNHQ still get mildly annoyed when someone posts a thread with them in. There have been a few threads where people who know post lots and lots to irritate people who don't. Then PMs fly around so everyone can for a bit. Then someone posts a really long blank one and MNHQ come on the thread and politely cough. Then it goes quiet for a bit.

It's simple enough. First line 2 square open brackets. Then enter. Then next line 2 square close brackets. Lots of pairs = longer post.

Hopefully hidden in enough text drivel that I don't get my wrists slapped!
