Your own handle is highlighted in red for you, so if you've posted within a thread, you instantly see where you've posted, and whether someone has replied to you.
On my phone, my comments are highlighted pink and the OP's are all green. I think it's an option you can turn on in the desktop version too- maybe look into it?
Also, There's a relatively easy way to include an image in the post.
- MN's way is very simple. What's tripping you up?
It gives you a brief window of time to amend your post, to make a correction or an addition.
This would be good, as would: Some of the forums allow you to hide your handle, for an extra layer of privacy if you're posting something extremely personal which would save on name-changing (a massive PITA).
Things I very much disagree with:
-A like button. When I was new to Mumsnet, I, too thought this would be a good idea. Then, I spent time on Reddit and realised that I was actually trying to post for approval as a result of the like function. If you want MN with a like function, Reddit is basically it (lots of it is American, but there are plenty of decent boards and you just subscribe to the ones you like).
-Replacing all the witty board names with uninspired generic ones, like 'books'. Also, as a pedant, I'd like to point out that there is a distinction between a pedant and an expert. Leave our corner alone.
-Being able to view someone's entire posting history with a button click. It's annoying enough when someone uses advanced search to point out that on the 13th January, 2004, you said XYZ, which contradicts your position on this current thread- I wouldn't want to make it easier for them to search posting histories, the weirdos.
