New page in a thread

Post by Moxie »

Last post on a page / new page in a thread:

I think it's so silly when people get upset if they make the 20th post on a page and someone responds (their response goes on the next page), and the first poster thinks that people won't see their post. I guess I think it's silly because if I open a thread that's on pg 2 and I see that the first post on that page is new, I jump back to the 1st page to see if the last post was new too or not.

People are smart enough to figure out when to check the previous page, right?

yeah, people's laziness will always suprise you. me for example...i almost never go back to check the other one even if im sure its new. its also partially to do with how fast your pages load and stuff it may not feel worth it. yeah, im a lazy bastard.


edit- oh jeez i just submitted my vote and i cant believe how much of a majority apparently arent as lazy or apathetical as i am...

I'm pretty happy about the result of the poll so far.

I'll check the previous page. Sometimes I'll quote it just to make it more convenient.

I like posting a pic at the top of a new page too.
I don't know why.

Mmmm, steak tostadas.
