Stop editing from pushing the post to the top.

If someone were to say something about it I would have been scolded a long time ago. I type faster than I think. :person_facepalming:

Nothing is more annoying then reading a post that I change 8 times in my head and then when I read it….there are 8 mistakes in the post. LOL

I do didn’t done do….daaaa :person_facepalming:

So……nobody here will admit to using “Edit” as a cheap bump for a stagnant post, huh?

The most annoying thing about this feature is when someone edits a reply repeatedly, and the forum keeps taking you to that reply instead of the latest one.

Yeah… my apologies for the annoyance, unfortunately I can’t really change that behavior. It’s actually a bit more nuanced that you might expect, if memory serves me correctly I believe it’s only when you edit the last post in a thread that it gets bumped to the top. Also I believe that editing the first post in a thread does not bump it.

I noticed this in the WTS forum. Kind of annoying that when somebody edits a post to mark something sold, the whole thread bumps.

There is a certain member here in commercial sales that does this to bump his thread to the top regularly. Very pesky of him.

@SB
Editing the last post is where the problem lies. If you make a reply to someone’s post, you are the last one in the thread. Then you suddenly realized you spelled led like “lead”, so you edit the post and fix the “lead” to led and hit save. Now the thread goes back to the top and there’s no new reply’s.
Just wasn’t sure if it was clear as to how this was happening.

If it can’t be fixed then that’s fine. It’s been that way as long as I remember and we are all still here, so no biggie.
It’s not very nice to be abusing it as a free bump though especially if its your on thread.

Sometimes I even write

Edit- ” More words that may need editing again.”

Spartan · 2019-03-20T04:33:56.000Z

I can’t imagine how many mistakes those two handed cell phone texting warriors make.

I don’t post anywhere near as much. I only on this forum, two sports forums and 143 porn forums so I don’t get much practice.

No big deal. At least I can edit my post and look semi intelligent. Kinda. Almost.

Funny short story. When I was learning morse code as a kid. I would open a magazine article and practice sending it to myself. Not on the air, just using the keyer in the radio so I could hear my own sending. Not a big deal really, until you forget to turn the transmitter off and you end up sending the entire article out over the air. After one evening of my magazine practice, I am just about ready to take my cans (headphones) off, and I copy someone sending, “Todd?” I know the look on my face must of been of complete horror. So I identify and my buddy a few states away in Texas says. “Todd, as much as I enjoyed your article on 20 meter dipoles, it was a little long winded and you forgot to identify” At which time my phone rings and he is dying laughing on the other end.

Guess it was better than making that mistake on Fridays. On Fridays I practiced all the cuss words.

You mean flEshight forums? They sound a bit related

I’m not buying it “Post Pusher” Nice try though…

fran82 · 2019-03-20T07:12:10.000Z

Doesnt bother me. Keep doing that. No problem

djozz · 2019-03-20T07:19:59.000Z

I sometimes post too quickly because I want to be next to the post I’m responding to without having to quote him/her. After posting I quickly sort out the spelling mistakes. I assume that a bump within a minute of the post is not really an issue.

mattadores · 2019-03-20T13:50:32.000Z

lol I frequently edit my posts. had no idea it meant they were bumping…

Joshk · 2019-05-04T14:09:09.000Z

I’d like to apologize too for bumping threads to correct grammar. When I correct something more than once or many minutes after it goes live I feel like an annoyance.

Tally-ho · 2019-05-04T14:39:55.000Z

I too plead guilty but I’m making corrections for the sake of a better comprehension.

I find that responding with a message containing unnecessary multiple quotes are way more annoying than threads bumped up for correction.
Stop the abuse of quoting particularly when people are responding to a message that is on the same page.
Just respond with a “@someone” as the one you are responding to, is clever enough to put your response back to its context, or if you respond to a particular part to a message, cut the rest of the quote to just leave the part you want to respond.
For example, there is no need to quote a message with 6 pictures just to tell “it looks good”.
“Hey someone, your pictures are nice and your X flashlight looks good”.

And most of the time, there is no need to abuse the bold, italic and underline features (sometime all of the 3 at the same time) to give more weight to your words. If you need to, it’s probably because you are lacking argumentations and try to compensate by hammering your words in the eyes and on the head of someone. It’s a bit like if your very shouting loudly.
