Opening posts being repeated

Sorry, K, but I like it too!

Ah, That's it,. ---------The CC reason I mentioned in the OP has now become obvious.  The age demographic of the average CC member requires that constant reminders are required ( The old "what did I do a few minutes ago, I can't remember"  syndrome)   

Other forums have no need to keep repeating what the thread is about, their posters read the OP then actually remember what to discuss, even if it's days later. Or they just refer to the original post on page one of the thread. ----------- Simples !!   

So I accept that as far as the CC is concerned,they have a really good reason to repeat the OP on all subsequent pages. 

Cheers.................K 

It's probably to remind you of the original question because it takes you that flamin long to get back to where you were after you've logged in & been via your profile page when you just wanted to make a reply to something.

Repeating or not repeating the OP makes no difference to storage requirements, in terms of disc space on the web sever, the post is only stored once in the relevant database.  The only cost is a small amount of processing overhead retrieving it for display on each new page.

Oddly each thread has a title which is displayed on every page....apart from the odd silly title (Help!) they generally indicate the subject!

When the first post is a full page long it simply adds to the amount of scrolling required.

Why does this forum have to be different, for the worse, to all other forums?

Presumably it will never compete with the grown ups websites

Ambivalent 

The real point is do members really need two reminders of the topic at the top of every page?

It would appear that the CC think the majority of their customer base do.-- Old age can have it's drawbacks   

It seems most of people reply to this thread think it's a good idea too 

If they want to save space, they could get rid of the 'repeated post syndrome'.......
