    Exclamation 1st Post Repeat?

    Noticed that the 1st post in a thread is now repeated on each new page, makes it a bit hard to follow the flow..

    It allows for subsequent posts to easily refer back to the original post, rather than getting lost and drifting off topic.
    If you're going paint a target on your self, expect some special attention....

    their going to be like questioning their memory " Ethol haven't I read that before, Why's it at the top of the page ,why am I on page one " refresh, refresh,refresh

    If Sidey has installed the mod I think he has, they have an option to have the first post as a different colour to make it easier for users to see it's just the 1st post carried over on each new page. I can't access the plugin menu to see if it the option is there, but Sidey should be able to tweak it when he's on next.

    Not this modification, it is fairly simple... It should be fairly easy to get used to as it is rather intuitive to have the post that creates the thread be at the top of every page for that thread, this achieves a number of things..

    - Serves to remind posters what the thread topic is and hopefully stop drifting off topic.
    - Will be very handy for those long threads so one does not need to go back to the first page to read the OP etc.
    - etc etc.

    Nice weather we are having... Hang on... Are yes a bit off topic. Sorry about that.

    Thanks for the explanation. Makes sense now.
