RANT@! When you update a thread, PUT THE UPDATE IN THE ORIGONAL POST!

[gogeeta13]

Ok, I can't tell you how many times there is a thread going on, then they edit the title and say "UPDATE! PROBLEM RESOLVED" or "UPDATE: SHE TOLD ME I AM A STALKER FOR ASKING FOR PICS!!" and then i click, only to see no update in the post, so i have to read this 140 post thread to find the update. Don't even bother editing with UPDATE in your title if you can't say

"EDIT, UPDATE: *copy and paste the news here* "

into the first post.

christ! such insolence!

/rant off

Yeah if the update's not in the first post, forget it. I don't care that much.

unless its a short thread.. then its not a problem to scroll down-- i hate it when people take the time to write in "update a few posts down"..

if you're going to do that much, you might as well write out the update

I'd especially like to see this done with the "Do Not Trade With" list in FS/FT. Sometimes I'll come in and see the list updated, but damnned if I can skim and see who was added!

Yep, thats another key area where updates need to be included in the origonal posts.

Mods! I move for a Thread Update Sticky in all the forums!!!!

It's stupidity, not a Forum Issue.

If stupidity is the issue, then considering the large majority of this forum is stupid, wouldnt that be an issure.

BTW, This was origonally posted in OT, but got moved.

i know this has come up before though.. and nobody ever changes. it will always be the same.

I swear I will hunt you down and kick you in the nuts if another sticky ends up in HD or FS/FT.

i hate it when people bump their threads in the fs/t forum with the message "sold!" , especially when it's over 24 hours since its last bump

Yeah, all they need to do is edit the thread title and original post. No need to bump!

Man. People here are too serious. Frustration maybe, but certainly not worth this much of your time.
