But people will notice as the only edit that would need doing is if it’s a 2nd consecutive post and it would be the current last post in the topic, topics I follow I automatically get directed to the last post I read so I will know if the previous post had also changed as well if it’s been edited

Well I don’t always remember how the last post in each topic looks. So the chance is high that I just miss an edit.

Well unless they have edited within the cooldown period of a few mins which you would never know if you was not on the forum at that moment then the edit icon appears to inform you it’s been edited

That’s right. Still not very comfortable I think.

Many of us have said that recently including Stanley. A perfectly valid point i would say.

Only if you read back posts and i don’t always do that.

Hey @robwin, if it’s any consolation, there is one topic where you have free reign. Since the rule does not apply to members who started a topic, you can go on and on in the Funny’s & Jokes topic. I was just catching up there, and you’ve had a few pretty good ones lately. Keep’em coming, pal :sweat_smile:

I’m not on about reading back posts, I’m talking about starting from when you left off, I click on the topic name it takes me to the last post I’ve read with the new posts below

Again punishing everyone for a few (actually, it is only one left) who’s posting crazy amount of pics everywhere on the forum

The issue is not generally about how many pics are posted although there is a limit that is asked for, as already explained by VHTV it’s how people are posting the pics is the issue

Always an argument over something it seems, all getting a bit silly now, I think the best way to solve it is not post any then people would have something to moan about that then. :laughing:
A never ending spiral of confrontation. :roll_eyes:

I’m pretty sure you don’t need any more encouragement to do any more moaning then you already do on here

There was talk of a cooldown period. How long is this cooldown time between a participant’s posts? i.e. until you can post again, even if nobody has posted anything else in between? :thinking:

74

There isn’t, it never was. This is the problem (nobody posting anything in between) and the reason why sometimes there are few consecutive posts from the same person. It happened to me that even after a day or more nobody posted anything in the Topic i wanted to post a pic. Returning, editing and adding a new pic in the previous post after many hours or even 2 or 3 days, doesn’t make any sense.

As @John78 has mentioned, there doesn’t seem to be a cooldown between posts

I agree it makes as much sense as posting 1 screenshot in 1 post and then posting 1 screenshot in a consecutive post 10 mins later

I know, i understood this already. It is about posting single pics one after other. Still doesn’t make any sense to limit the number of posts. Having 5 big blocks with pics, i think it’s even worse than having 5 singles. The same applies now for 2

78

That’s why a cooldown period makes much more sense than limiting the number of consecutive posts

If there are so few posts in a thread that it’s been several days since my last post and no one else has posted, it seems like no one is reading it anyway. So why keep posting in it? :crazy_face: :sweat_smile:

Yes, that can happen when the participant is doing something different.

I do agree that, if it is about the same activity in short period of time, it makes sense to add it on the previous post.
