There never seem to be any unanswered threads to answer any more - is this a feature of the new MN?

[KatyMac]

I occasionally (once or twice a week) pop into unanswered threads to see if I can help.

I never bump them but try to help when I can but they seem to have disappeared - where have they gone?

\link{http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/697018-DD3-32m-thought-my-car-had-been-squashed-by-teh\I quite like the fact she just bumped this one>.....but still nobody has commented on the cuteness of my DD3 and the car being squashed flat by the weight of snow on it

this one

lol i was going to comment on it, thought it was sweet and they do look squashed .

sometimes i like to bump my own threads off or at certain times.

Hello

I both bump and answer where I can. I wasn't around this weekend as I was ill so can't speak for any low numbers over that period. They only stay on there for 24 hours and more often than not when they are bumped they get an answer.

Lots of people seemed to like it but if it's causing a problem i'll stop. I certainly don't intend to upset anyone. I was just trying to be helpful.

Maybe we should add
"Please bump"
or
"I'll Bump my own thanks"

at the bottom?

I think I should stop posting tonight - great as it is for displacement - I think I have been a cow on one or two (or 7) threads

Sorry

I guess so long as puzzlerocks keeps them bumped within the 24 hours, or only bumps towards the end of the 24 hours then there isn't really a problem. Or Katymacs suggestion.

I guess we can never really guarantee an answer to everyone's question.

PR - I know you aren't doing it to offend, and from the other threads alot of people appreciate it. And I'm not mentioning my POV to piss you off, just how I feel.

Am lol at putting a bump disclaimer on every thread. How neurotic would that look!

Well it would be an acronym within hours - it just needs to spell something polite

rofl

no hard feelings puzzle

please allow me the pleasure of bumping myself - thanks

I don't think that work
BMT
Bump Myself Thanks........Not ideal

Anyone a better idea?

i do tend to bump mine within ten minutes though so they disappear, or i get the urge to bump it later. it's a weird business bumping

But what if someone has a question about m/c or conception problems? It seems a bit harsh to leave it sitting there for 24 hours.

no i agree puzzle, some threads do need alot of bumping

I would hate to have a serious/important question that was sat there for ages. I assume puzzlerocks reads them before she bumps, and if can help, will do! So I for one am happy for her to bump threads.

But how many threads disappear after a bump, never to be answered?

I don't know - should each section have someone(s) who answer - with info

It's too late to come up with a solution - we almost need a one answer only section

Or could we have a thread closed bit - sort of You ask what time hustle is on, you get told, you close the thread

maybe you could close a thread in certain sections. relationship type things

Or even you say thank you & then you close the thread

lol

Katy - I would hazerd less than would disappear out of unanswered after 24 hours never to be answered. I check back on everything I bump and it's not often that they don't get an answer.

Even hazard

i think we're just saying we like to check unanswered too

Sure SES, I appreciate that. And of course no hard feelings, you's great!

I have felt a bit got at though on occasions and I don't want to to feel shit for something that had good intentions so i'll back off.

And yes I am very bored of being pregnant already with 11 weeks still to go. God I could murder a G&T.

Oh FGS I meant SEA obviously.
