    lol, I've shot a few for doing it, they don't realise it throws a thread right out, especially if it gets quoted as well, it turns into a right mess !

    Yeah they just completely break the flow. It's basic netiquette.

    There seems to have been an influx of animated images embedded in threads in the last few weeks.

    If you do not contribute on the first page, & leave the thread for ten minutes or so, by the time you return it is four or five pages on with multi-level quotes & the same images re-posting over & over again.

    I suspect the HotUKDeals web server(s) are struggling to serve some of the threads in a timely manner & the rest of the site (membership) is suffering as a result.

    Once or twice a night those kind of threads are fine, & dedicated threads for this topic are also OK, but when the same people re-appear night after night & turn most of the threads into the same outcome it means we have to carry over discussions into the "Feedback" forum instead.

    :)

    BFN,

    fp.

    PS. The number of online (visible) site staff members also seems to be low in this same time period. I hope the two are linked.

    somebody that replies above your post rather then below it, it doesn't make the thread flow, as you see their reply first before reading the previous posts first.

    oh i see, not sure where i post when using a quote, the top i think lol

    although i wish they would implement only quoting a post, not every god damn quote with that post, was reading a thread the other day and just gave up, it was stupid ever new post was quoting the last and ended up like one post per page, absolutely absurd


    Oh and hero developer i should not have to remind you this is feedback not misc lol

    Cheers for that rich, I thought it must be some 'Poster' retailer! Yep, I agree, 'replies' should be below the comment they are replying to.

    It would probably help immensly if the cursor was placed on a new line at the end of any quoting done instead of right at the front.
    You could argue that it is a bug as most people will be adjusting the cursor position every time they quote someone.

    exactly, now just try and fathom out how this post above came about

    you actually have to re-position your cursor when replying to do it! Got told to grow up and get a life yesterday for pulling someone up on it - LMAO!

    eh? I hit reply and type straight away. Never fails. No messing about with cursor required

    I suggest the problem occurs as the REPLY box is way too small so noobs dont realise the cursor is in the right place to type so move the cursor to the top

    I complained about the reply box being too small but admin just replied that I can make it bigger manually EVERY time I reply. Typical head in the sand response as per usual. Jeez, it cant be more than 10 minutes work to make the reply box bigger!
    Jumpingphil
    You do?
    If I do that, this is what it looks like.
    My cursor is always positioned at the start of any reply.
    I use IE9 and W7.

    Well, there's part of the problem then.
    In Chrome, it works as you describe.
    So probably all the top posters are using IE9 and W7 or some other variation that positions the cursor in the wrong place. http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn219/jumpingphil/thumbsup.gif

    Shengis, I don't know whether it is worth putting [BUG] in front of your title to draw attention to this post for the developers.
