Has anyone noticed the new "nef" hack on the forums? When you post 2ce in a row (within 3 or 5 or something minutes, and with no posts in between) in the same thread, your 2nd post gets added to the 1st one. For example, in my post here in Entertainment (http://www.gotapex.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=594995#post594995)

It will add a quote, or just your reply if you don't quote.

Pretty swift, I think. :)

oh wow...I just did that and I noticed that it was added to my first post...I got confused for a second and then just assumed I hit the edit button rather than typing in the fast post field...hehehehe cool!

Good stuff, but is it really that big a problem? I would think that double posting (twice in the same thread with nothing in between) is pretty uncommon, especially within a short period of time. The only such instance I can think of is when someone is posting a long article and breaks it into sections.

Nef? Knockback rune?

This looks like a good way to be able edit a post (i.e. add more information that was left out) outside of the 90-second window in which the "Edited by..." is added.

I don't think it is good. There have been several times when I'd read a long thread and want to respond to something one person said then separately respond to someone else. It keeps everything more clear. Now it will all be jumbles together.

but the 1 post/45 secs is bugging me tho.

nope, that's good then...carry on.

No, actually, that's the cool thing. Say you have a long thread. You want to quote something the first person says, so you click quote, write your reply, then keep reading. Two minutes later, 6 posts down, you see something you wanna quote and reply to, just hit quote and write your reply. It adds that quote then your reply both under your first reply. it's very very clear and easy to follow and read. At least, to me... :shrug:

Oh I see. So what you're really saying is I should get my facts straight BEFORE being critical. Well for crying out loud, what fun would that be? :P

Okay there is a problem here....I wanted to add to the Hot Chick thread and it is stopping me. I put up one post with like a dozen pics and then want to add more. But since it tries to put them all in one post I'm getting it bounced as too many in one rather than starting a second post.

Must address this issue for the sake of all those hot chicks fans out there.

Patience man, patience!
