Double post automerge = suck

[J Squared]

So, it will merge two posts that are not back to back? How is that a double post?

[Zippy69]

What does it matter? It will merge two consecutive posts (back to back).

[J Squared]

It doesnt matter, its just lame. Thanks for the input though.

[babowc]

I don't understand what's so LAME about it.

Care to explain?
If you post consecutively within 30 mins or 3 hours or so, it'll merge the two posts.

Also, please don't post useless things like "one more post" to get your post count up so you can post in certain areas. I will delete those if necessary.

haha damn 240Atlanta, SERIOUS BUSINESS!!!1

This feature is lame because of the way it is implemented, not because of what it does. It doesnt take post context into consideration, looking for content or verifying anything is duplicated. A lot of times ideas are more adequately expressed as two separate posts.

Another scenario is if you post, then someone posts back, you reply, and they delete their post. Your two posts then get merged and make no sense.

At any rate, no worries, and Ill be sure to take this forum more serious from here on out.:lmfao:

We don't be playin' up in here. This ain't no IA bullshit!. HeeHee I said bullshit.

[hellfire]

Well lets see here. If the person deleted his post, in which you replied to, then your reply doesn't really need to be there anyways now does it? So delete that section back out of your post and your good to go. The feature is there for a reason.

You won't last long with your current attitude. This forum is a privilege.

I don't see it as such a big deal like you do, so I don't know what to tell ya.

So this basically says I have to re-read my posts to make sure they are relevant, in case someone decides to delete one? instead of having seperate posts that might give a clue that someone once stood in the middle?

when you answer a question... use the question in the answer or use the quote buttons if you are really worried about posts getting deleted...

[The Bean]

its sucks..like in my journal, Everytime I post an update it automatically merges the damn post! If Iwanted it in one post i would either Wait and put it all in one or edit my last one!

I personally hate the double post merge thing myself but what ever.

[JDM Steve]

I dont like it either but yea w/e LOL

[Zippy69]

I don't give a shit either way. This dude is posting like this because it gives him a bigger E-penis.

[AFSil80]

I could care less.

I really don't think that it's a huge deal, either.

[Hammerhead-i Eaglethrust]

this thread sucks. I can't believe I just sat here and read this mindless drivel...

[Nick Jeezy]

yeah same feelings he has a huge e penis now. and i dont mind it. its just a fourm. no big deal

[JTA021]

this is lame.

[J Squared]

This isnt a vote, or an attempt to convince anyone of anything. Besides, this thread ended like 3 pages ago...

[Iam99x]

Double post automerge FTW. It saves space and time. ;)

Ok, you have a valid point. The auto merge is there for a reason but I re evaluated and decided to change the merge time limit to 1 hour. If you post again after one hour it will not merge your posts. Initially when setting up this feature/curse (whichever you prefer) I was unsure how long to make the time limit. Now that the forum is quite a bit busier I think it is reasonable to change...

The 1 hour limit should resolve this problem for you.

*Also, I could have it auto insert a line that says something like



bleh bleh bleh

-------------------------Auto Merged------------------------

new merged post here...


But that might look kinda messy. What do you guys think?

[Iam99x]

I like how it is now.

[Lone_Wolf]

w/o the line

[flip]

I doubt I'd put the line, just curious of opinion...

[J Squared]

Cool cool, I think it will work better for people that update threads after a time with new info definitely.

[v-empire]

it still bumps your thread up, i thought.

either ways, i smell vaniga ice cream, i need to go now.

Yep, even if it merges posts it will bump your thread so thats not affected either way...

I installed that add on for carlova...

[Hammerhead-i Eaglethrust]

hahaha, vaniga.... I like that.

[Zippy69]

I don't like change! Change is bad! Thats the reason the damn commies are winning!
My pee smells like sugar smacks, but I don't eat sugar smacks! Thats how the government controls you. First it's automerged double posts, and then your pee smells like sugar smacks when you don't eat sugar smacks!!! Arrrrrrrrrrgh!
