I can understand if they are going to reply, if not, why view it? It's not like you can read any more is it?

And whats with this glut of spamming? It's gone crazy in the very recent past! Maybe somebody will regard this as spamming, but I see it as a few questions.

I think it's a bad habit to view all posts and see it's NT when you've clicked it. I sometimes view them because I want to click the one below or when I THINK I'm going to reply but change my mind afterwards.

I think Tullisti (my idol) is (of course) right. I use non-threaded and I view all posts, [NT] or not.

A) Learn to spell Sabre

B) Stop picking on me

C) How is this bickering?? It's a simple question!! Grow up, and stop trying to start something.

Sometimes I click on NT posts , then after I click I notice NT.and say , shoot it's a NT. Maybe if NT is red it would stand out more.

Thats a good point. I have clicked on NT posts without realizing before, and it bugs me too.

I guess that's another reason people read them, but I just find it confusing when 6 or 7 people have looked at it.

And in further answer to bunniemasters attack on me : I had a question about the Dink board, so I asked. Why does that mean I am attention seeking??

your attention seeking because the thread is pointless. Its like starting a argument on wether or not the links to threads should be colored blue. Sure people might replie to your but in the end it does no good. Id rather have you making some Tile set file or something then dragging on a message board thread about wether or not people should click on NT posts

It's you who is creating an argument out of this. I never said people should or shouldn't click on NT post, I merely asked why they do. People all answered sensibly (and with the correct reason) apart from you, who decided to try and start something.

And as for me making files, you hate my idea's remember??

I wasn't, that was badly phrased. I meant should in the sense of "probably will". Don't snap, it's not nice!

So everybody does it for ages (and much more than I have) but as soon as I join in, it's time to quit? You guys don't let me have ANY fun!
