no new posts?

[moejoe]

I’ve been busy with homework so I haven’t been to the SD in a week or so, but last time I was in I posted a few replies in various threads.

So today I popped in and hit the new posts link and none of those threads showed up.

Is it safe to assume that I killed them all?

So it was you!

Seriously, sometimes threads just get to a point where nothing more need be said, or can be said, or should be said.

Sometimes it is your fault. Sometimes it just happens.

The only way to test this is for you to make more posts. If you kill more threads, then we’ll all know it was you.

From the FAQs.

How can I see the latest posts?

There are two ways to quickly view recently created or updated threads.

If you are not logged in, the ‘today’s posts’ link will show a list of all threads that have been created or updated in the last 24 hours.

If you are logged in, the ‘Today’s Posts’ link will change to ‘New Posts’, which gives you a listing of all threads that have been created or updated since your last visit.

The administrator can also set up the forums so that each thread you read is marked in the database. If this option is set, then new threads (or threads with new posts) will not be marked as read until you have actually read them.

There is a built-in time limit to this, however, that will automatically mark all threads as ‘read’ after a set number of day, whether you really have read them or not. The default setting is 10 days, but the administrator could make this higher or lower.

Ah runner pat thank you, the shame was deep

I’m sure it confirmation bias, but I feel I’m the biggest thread-killer on the boards.

I only kill threads when I post an entirely new angle. Otherwise, I tend to be ignored.

Nah, I’m sure you have some rabid groupies that will come in and post after you.

Even if it’s just me.

I wonder if anyone else will post in this thread now.

Nope, you killed it.
