    Titles for themed threads such as SCP

    I really like the SCP theme that Antonio created. The whole concept is great, but I especially like the sharing of shots, and the resulting discussion.

    OK, now for the whine. I'm having trouble linking the comments to the original post, especially when the same person submits several photos.

    My proposal: when posting a shot in a themed thread such as SCP, could the poster please change the title to something that is representative of their photo? That way, the replies to that photo could be easily linked. (Of course, I now have to practice what I preach, as I'm also in default of my own suggestion.)

    Check my post to nSCP (A Boatman's Reward) to see if this idea works for you.

    As far as I understand I think you idea is difficult to put in practice.
    Myself, I tend to leave the title as it is as I am more concerned about the subject of the thread tapping my comment.
    I could ask, I mean I could change the so called "rules" according to what you suggest but I think I will not because of the reason above. Nobody would care. And we are here also, for fun.
    Also I said ? Oh yes to learn, show what we do and for fun yes, like kids But taking the thing seriously. This is great here. I do like.
    I am sure that you do know that most people don't read the f#€¶÷][) manual. Of course, myself included
    Sorry if I have missed something in your idea.

    It might help to switch the Display Mode to threaded view for threads like this - if people hit reply on the image in question then it'll show up as a subordinate post in the post list.

    Colin,
    I thought of using the threaded mode, but it doesn't always display deep enough to use on these types of threads.
    Antonio,
    I agee with you that we shouldn't overly complicate life in a fun activity. It was more of a gentle suggestion. I'm going to try to use my own advice. If it proves useful, then others may copy me. Otherwise, I'll enjoy my uniqueness.
    Stephen
