You and @bertwert are doing a swell job as well, and the mods as well.
...yesterday evening Racer X 69 was on a roll!

Only after I started commenting on images did I realize how much @Adam comments - often the comment I follow is his, If everyone were as talkative as him, he'd be ordering a K-1ii about now.

I'm trying to get myself off the top ten list, but I'm not going to do it by being silent

Nope, the top ten list is pretty similar each day...

Well, not entirely pointless - it gets the post count up towards 40k...

Personally, I have been posting more, but only when I felt I had something useful or entertaining to contribute to a given thread. I'm not going to post just for the sake of it.

Er. Except this post. Darn...

yeah, what he said.

i am spending more time on the site so there's that also.

consider this my contribution to helping you win a k-1.

There are hundreds of photos out there, most with fewer that a dozen comments. Surely you can find something relevant to say on some of them?!

Post a bunch of images, or comment about images others have posted, or get in a serious conversation, or get in a silly conversation - all is the same here. I've had a great time seeing what others have been doing - and I've discovered there are a lot more detail-laden pictures taken with K-70 and KP than I had been aware of. I've tried to demonstrate that twenty or thirty posts per day shouldn't be a "burden" on anyone not working two jobs to purchase a K-1 on his/her own.

ah, shucks

I'll try to do better

maybe

On a seemingly unrelated note... (

)

Why some people are able to post many times in a row, and it shows as different posts even if it's just after a minute, while some others get merged with the gray line and the "post added" caption?

Do they count as a single post in the second case?

there is an option in how you can set up your account

go to " my account " above

" PentaxForums.com → User Control Panel → Edit Options "

look for " Messaging & Notification " ~~" Default Thread Subscription Mode "~~

" Auto-Merge Double Posts "

" If you make two consecutive replies to a thread, they will be automatically merged by default. You can choose to disable this behavior.
Yes
No "

Uh... I don't think thread subscription notification has anything to do with what I'm saying.

To not abuse cheat mode... Something is not right with that statement

**savoche** · 06-18-2018, 04:41 AM
