er, flags? Like -- Old Glory? Don't Tread on Me? the Union Jack?

{off topic} Is there a way to have the last post from the previous page appear also as the first post of the next page? I sometimes won't post if the post number will be a multiple of 15, which I think is the default setting, because I don't want to leave an orphan post.

My god, I had no idea people were so concerned about being noticed...

My pages cut at 50 posts.

But what's the point of posting if no one is going to read it? I could just keep the thought in my head and save myself the trouble of typing it. That's the fine distinction between having a conversation and talking to yourself.

Sometimes I post stuff just as an outlet. I don't really care if people read it or not, and it matters less to me if they comment or not.

I think you'll find that if people read a thread from start to finish, or from the last post they read on a thread, they'll read them all regardless of where on the page they are though.

I must admit I never take into a consideration whether a post will be an "orphan" or not. I don't expect people to understand that my words are all precious pearls.

yeah... i fucken hate that too.

i really don't care if you care what i want, Nancy. I wasn't bitching about you.

If they have already read the rest of the thread vBulletin will take them to the last page. If they don't read to the last page it's their loss.

Lumberjim's quote (sorry, I fucked up the quote thingy): "I like threads that ask unusual questions. I like game threads. i like when people share intimate things with us. I respect people that are honest about their lives and have the skill with the english language to make me feel what they are feeling."

lots of good ground for threads here.

UT, that would reduce the number of orphan posts by 70%. You're a genius.

Psh, sixty to a page here.

wait a ....minnnit... 50 isn't a choice.

No it's not... unless you're Lord Undertoad.

Dudes, I was jokin'. Never thought it would turn into a debate. (Forgot I was in the Cellar, never mind.) And I do like to be noticed. :p
