Multiple topic threads on the same subject.

Hdonly, I see you did this very thing down on the Ford blog. I have seen this but it is always prefixed by the Re; and on a new
thread line. I do not know how it happens. I always click on the reply window at the bottom of the thread or at the bottom of the
individuals message. It seems to be responders to an original subject. If we are referring to the same thing. Maybe not I'm easily
confused. Must be an age thing lol gobble
 

I read that too and others have commented that 46 characters can do it too. I try to keep topics short but had it happen to me too. I always use modern view as there is 25 topics per page. On any given day in tractor talk or tractor tales there can be more than that of active topics. Problem with classic view is that a topic with lots of responses can almost fill a page and then you have to go back multiple pages to find something.

Another reason it does it is that classic view only goes back so many pages. When someone tries to respond to an old topic then it does the Re: thing.
 
OK. It does look like the difference between "Modern" and "Classic" view. I also see that it depends on how a person replies on a subject. If you use the modern view and use the "Reply" button on the upper right of a comment, it keeps replies together. If a person replies using the button "New topic" at the bottom of a thread, then it starts a fresh thread. Does this make sense? I am old and blonde!
 
Leave it be. Ties everything together. On Modern, you have to figure what a reply belongs to and you can't see who all responded to a post when you
are a person's opinion follower (as I am) and respect their views and when they reply to something, you want to know what they had to say....PffffffffT.

Hdonly, this was brought up five days ago and it was determined to be a title of over 45 characters in the title to the OP. So keep your title under 46 characters and keep it simple!!!

Hitting New Topic button would require the person to type in the entire topic. I doubt they are doing that.
The problem appears to automatically default to creating a new topic on it's own, prefixing the old title with "Re:"

but supposedly it is now fixed.
 
Thanks guys. I deliberately hit this so that it will get "Front Page" on Modern and the Modernites will have it in their face........Ha Ha........
 
I help out on another site. We have the same problem.Multiple post on
the same unit. Makes it hard to give a good answer
 

So noted. I just clicked reply on Texasmark1 post. I see it added the Re: in front of the topic on the topic line. From a modern viewer.
 
switched to classic to reply to texasmark1. Had to log in twice to do it
 
It's an infrequent breakdown between the classic and modern views of the forum.

Considering what it takes to make the two versions work as well together as they do, I consider it a small price of admission to have a thread or two "explode" every day.
