It's happening again.

I've seen hints that they are only seeing the original post in an email and responding to that, which should not be happening. They should be required to come into the thread to be able to reply.

They are required to come into the thread. That's the only way to reply. On the site or with the app.

You might consider the frequency of sending.

I received enough emails to make me create a new email rule. Any email received from TBN is immediately routed to the trash folder. So I don't have to repeatedly and manually delete them.

Nothing wrong with the forum-- I do enjoy it and it provides value. I just didn't like the high volume of emails soliciting me for things I was not interested in.

But they're not READING the thread. They glance at the first post and spew something based on it and only on it without taking into regard any of the ensuing posts. Sixty, seventy posts in after a number of other points have been made, questions answered or new information supplied, their one post is almost entirely out of context. I say one post, because they rarely engage in the thread further.

Like this guy; Electrical / romex mess

They want to answer the OP, not wade thru a bunch of other replies.

What do you suggest?

What do you suggest?

A summary of how many replies to that thread next to the title all shown in the emails they get.

You'll get a mix of the viewers then. Some would gladly jump in with only a handful of posts to a thread because it's something they would like to comment or add. Then there is the OTHER groups of people who LOVE to wade thru PAGES of posts to either educate themselves or help wit the repair of their machine.

Just my 2-cents.

Shouldn't be too difficult to add that.

The Romex thread is becoming an example of why this is a bad idea.

Hopefully you can see the humorous side of this. Mixing uninformed-to-nonsensical posts in the middle of a thread, and then repeating that every few posts, has some entertainment value.

I presume the return of long-dormant members flooding back to the forum is creating an economic bonanza. So when measuring quantity-- it's a grand slam!!!!

@Muhammad , put this thread on the next email haha

Well, it was kind of tongue in cheek at the time, but ....

I move all the reply and quote buttons be removed from all but the last page of a thread.
