Why on earth would you want to reply a dozen times on a page, and not just edit your one reply with the content of your dozen posts? You just trying to knock you post count up?

If you reply within 90 minutes, it will kick in. If you have a thread you reply to weekly with an update for example, that wont kick it in.

It's staying.

The forum needs income to run. Like any business. But it's optional. So just don't. Can't be more clear than that matey.

Nothing to do with post count here and infact I have often been critical of those that blatantly post for this very reason saying that I prefer quality over quantity.

Then the double post feature is there to help you.

Come read about the advert testing here: Google Advertisements During Testing Phase

That might calm you down a bit.

Evening, whilst playing around on the phone earlier I came across a sub forum named "Child forum" or Child something, anyway can`t find it via the laptop. Does that mean anything to you?

A child forum is one below an actual forum. So a sub-forum. The wording shouldn't be used anywhere in the actual forums though. That's for development reasons.

Where was it you saw it?

It might have been a processing error for a forum name. If I'm sending out large emails (which I did yesterday) the processes on the forum are often queued up so we stay online. So perhaps it just didn't load the name of the sub forum properly while that was going on.

A forum in the same category of another forum are called siblings too. So you might see that when the error is knocking around. So look out for that word too.

Can't replicate it myself right now though so can't say more I'm afraid.
