Aerotop Dave Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 1) When someone has a series of photos to post they do them one at a time in a series of replies, but someone always posts half way through the series with a 'Looking good' reply, thus breaking the sequence. 2) Someone will reply sooner or later in a thread by using 'quote' and just reposting the entire first post (inc. photo if there is one) and simply put 'I like that'. Why do people quote the entire original post when it's obvious what they are replying to? Sometimes it's the very first reply and they still quote the entire post! 3) Some smilies just never get used. Like this: 4) Most infrequently-asked FAQ is: can you adjust the headrests? It gets asked every now and then... but not frequently. 5) I identify people by their avatars. Half the time I see a post and think 'Oh, I've never heard of this person, but look they've got 2573 posts'. Then I notice that the person has just changed their avatar.

Jake Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 1) When someone has a series of photos to post they do them one at a time in a series of replies Not everyone, Dave. See my Bambi On Ice thread for example. but someone always posts half way through the series with a 'Looking good' reply, thus breaking the sequence. LOL, yeah I'd noticed that too. It seems to happen to Dude a lot but I think that's because he posts so slowly, folks can't tell if he's finished with the pics yet. Why do people quote the entire original post when it's obvious what they are replying to? Sometimes it's the very first reply and they still quote the entire post! I know what you mean but I prefer that to folks not quoting and then sometimes you can't tell who/what they're referring to. 3) Some smilies just never get used. Like this: That'll be because that one doesn't work properly 5) I identify people by their avatars. I don't because I can't even see peoples avatars. I have avatars turned off to make the pages load more quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLicense Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 I've noticed a lot of this:- I've found the best thing since sliced bread but I'm not going to tell you about it type posts. My imediate response:- WELL DONT BLOODY SAY ANYTHING THEN!!!! I've also seen a little of:- I disagree with what your saying but I can't be bothered to discuss it type replies. Again my response:- well why bother posting that into the DISCUSSION?!!! (Is the only reason we're seeing more of these "what's your gripe" threads down to these emoticons; and being introduced???)

Again my response:- well why bother posting that into the DISCUSSION?!!! hehe, I'm a bit guilty of that, but you do reach a point where you're just making the same points over and over and the other person just isn't getting it and you eventually get to the stage where you think 'Ah, f*ck it, it's not really that important to me anyway' and just give up!
