    P.S.
    At least please refrain from further postwhoring in this specific thread.
    If your post count only includes posts since you returned, and you haven't been post whoring... you've been posting too much.

    My post per day count is only 1.3, you're up to 5.84!

      I don't take part in it, but it doesn't bother me at all.

          If by "post whoring" then you mean multiple posting (one after another) then I do not participate, but I do post some rather useless stuff sometimes, I admit.

            This thread is just begging for PW's.

                Maybe Sasq is chaning it back or just removing it, who knows.

                  This kind of thread may introduce the concept of "thread whoring". Totally useless threads.

                    I liked to use the "show new posts" thingy.

                    Now there is so much spam to drudge through that it has certainly cut down my vists to MURC.

                      I think there are some nice hacks around for makeing the 'show new posts' into a 'favorites' style thing. So you can select which forums to include/ignore.

                      However I'm avoiding doing any more major hack and slashes until vB3 is stable/released and up and running with the rest of out software.

                          2.2.9 look bottom of page

                          ver 3 is still at RC4, I won't be looking to change it till it at least gets a point change or two after release.

                                I think the issue with post whoring is not really whether to or not, but more on how it is done.

                                I therefore apologise.
