[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 276094, member: 9240"] [USER=13578]@wud[/USER], if you click on the black circle to the left of the thread title it will take you to the first unread post in the person's thread. You can also click on the photo icon to the right of the thread and it will just display the photos in someone's thread, then click on the photo to bring you to that post if you want to quote it in a post. Don, the unfortunate thing is that the big threads tend to get ignored after a while, likely for the reason wud implied - it's a lot to wade through. So I suspect that some people feel that posting new photos to individual threads will allow more people to see and comment on their stuff. I get that, because we all love for folks to comment on our photos (and stroke our egos a bit), but it also makes for a lot of extra threads, pushing some threads further down in the "New" stack (causing them to get ignored) and it's also likely making for database issues as well. Perhaps a note to those with a penchant for doing this and offering an alternative? Even if they did a thread a day instead of 3-10, but then, you've got so many different types of photo subforums that you can still do 3-10 and stick one in each. It's hard to tell someone to post fewer photos to a photography forum when they want people to see their photos. But I hear you, this isn't meant to be Flickr. [/QUOTE]
