UPDATE: Texokie's Digs

I would appreciate some input regarding the storage of Texie's content.

At present I store some content on old threads - for example the FAQ table is a link on our current thread, that leads to the FAQ table content posted on an old thread. Readers click on the FAQ link and then after reading whatever they wish, they have to press the 'back' button on their browser to resume reading the current thread. It provides a means of storage.

I had recommended that Texie use this method to "store" walls of text on an old thread and provide concise description and links on the new thread. This is intended to let us "have our cake and eat it too." Walls of text exist at the click of a link. :) So after happily reading through walls of text stored on an old thread, readers would click "back" on their browser and resume reading the current thread.

I assumed that all responses to her posts would best be posted on whatever thread is current so that we "stay together" and avoid spreading analysis over more than one thread. This would also allow the old thread to serve as a reading library of Texies work - you may click on a link to read a specific "wall" post but then enjoy remaining on that old thread to read a series of her other walls (e.g., particularly when she posts parts 1 - 3 in a row on the old thread.

Any thoughts or concerns about how this might work for us? Please let me know via pm or on thread. Thank you for your patience as we make "cake and eat it too" arrangements and compromises to meet the interests of as many FReeQs as possible.

ThankQ.

sounds doable IF we all really understand the expectation & nuts & bolts of it. Would be nice to have two columns on a thread with say the right column our main topic thread and the left column our secondary topics. That's not very likely. Whatever you suggest that's workable is fine with me.

"I had recommended that Texie use this method to "store" walls of text on an old thread and provide concise description and links on the new thread."

I'm 100% against this.

Saving a repetitive post in an old thread makes sense but not current posts.

If I have to scroll past idiotic troll posts and responses filled with idiotic images and gifs which bog downloads and hangs pages, surely some can scroll down a wall of intelligent text which someone spent precious time writing.

There's no reason to place Texokie's posts in the back room when the information is current. This is 100% disrespect for the poster's work and time.

I've been reading old threads and came across posts which were more current. Those posts were just out of place and confused the reader. me. Where are the continuing replies? To which post is this poster answering to?

A current wall of informative text belongs in the current thread. Otherwise, Bagster, KitJ, TXnMA and generally's wall of images should posts their posts in old threads also.
