"Anti-bump" installed?

[chimaera]

Just noticed, and confused the hell out of myself, that when I tried to update a thread that I had posted, it added it to the main post. Did it three times before I realised what was going on!

Unless I've just never noticed it before?

As far as I know it's been installed for a long time. If you wait like 24 hours after the original post you can make a new post under the first one. If you do it sooner it will just keep editing your original post.

Ah, okay. I guess in my 580 previous posts I'd never reposted within 24 hours.

Thanks.

when I tried to update a thread that I had posted

It's been in place for awhile now, it's not something new that was just implemented. If you need to update a thread just posted, then you should be editing the original post anyways instead of posting a reply and bumping it up.

That's correct.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's a great system and 24 hours is perfect. I hate constant 'bumps'. On this occasion I was updating my thread with valid information that I thought deserved a bump, so that's what confused me!
