Improvements to the phone app version could include being able to flip individual threads (oldest to newest or the other way round). I'm Angry every time I have to flip everything back and forth because new topics I want to read from the beginning whereas some I am watching/part of are huge and I only want to read the newest posts.

I'd quite like to be able to 'follow' posters so I can stalk them but I haven't really thought it through, so may be a shit idea.

Also, if you could 'like' posts, you could search for most-liked posts that day, that week, or whatever.

We should have MN Oscars at the end of the year.

Search function on iPhone app. Thanks

I would like a cuntworm emoticon. It can be pink.

Change the title of aibu to rants and debates (that'll stop the "aibu to ask your favourite teabag?" Threads)

I shall be back.

By making me Mumsnets dictator and everyone else my minions, this would vastly improve the place.

Oh and I'll need a much, much bigger red button than everyone else.

Bogoffubastard · 25/02/2012 19:11

More emoticons in the iPhone app! I don't even have a cuppa or wine glass! Just this >> Bear Hmm

Tick box to hide multiple threads please!!!

What she said :)

I'm torn about the edit own posts thing, maybe for a very short amount of time after postings; otherwise a lot of threads could lose their sense when you are reading them.

I think it's quite good that what you post is permanent, it makes you really think about what you're saying before you say it. That is good procedure for rl too.

Refresh screen function on iPhone app.

sunshineoutdoors · 25/02/2012 19:18

Oops, I meant to add please on the end of that. How rude!

ImpOfThePerverse · 25/02/2012 19:24

Another vote for always highlight OP, even if they namechange. Sometimes it's really frustrating losing track of the OP because of a seasonal namechange, sometimes it would out sockpuppets, would be useful in several ways IMO.

I would like the ablity to spell check posts.

ChuffMuffin · 25/02/2012 19:41

The ability to quote posters in threads, like MNHQ can Smile

CharlotteBronteSaurus · 25/02/2012 19:44

NO MOre TOPICS. there's so many now that most have bugger all traffic - you end up just sticking stuff in chat so it gets answered

and we definitely need a shady closet into which all the clique threads can be moved.

Honeydragon · 25/02/2012 19:46

ChuffMuffin HQ did a vote on that last year, it was a resounding no.

I don't mean to sound impatient but I still have no red button, nor do I appear to be in charge?
I haven't got all day.
