Thread Name: Dear Joe Offer...
Subject: RE: Dear Joe Offer...
(I'm assuming this thread is general Joe Offer letters, rather than about the genitals thread)

You make valiant attempts to stop us posting in threads that already have a 'continued' version, but can you or Max come up with a way that locks the thread and refers us to the continued one?


Pene Azul has a good solution to that one, DMcG. Once a thread gets too long, a button appears at the bottom that allows you to pull up 50 messages at a time, instead of reading a thread with 900 posts. It's one of many features we're testing and fine-tuning right now.
People may wonder why it takes us so long to put new features into effect. One reason is that we have to test them for bugs and flaws and other problems. It's better to catch the problems before they cause bigger problems.
In the meantime, I guess I have to put up with the idiots who can't read the large print that tells them to go to Part II - I can't understand why they can't see the "thread closed" notice and heed it.
