Maybe people can just post one pic of their new finds?
Walking With Monsers:
[about Lystrosaurus] Astonishingly, their vast herds make up more than half of all life on Earth. Never again will a single species do so well.

Posting several pics is not the issue. The pics being quoted, sometimes again and again is the issue.
Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

I know but i am saying cut down on the many pics you as the first poster quotes may help the zillion quoting images. One person posts 2 pics and another one. Then when you quote its total of three. Not 5 pics and 9 pics totaling 14 photos when quoted. That is what I mean.

So don't quote the first two unless they're relevant. It's a simple matter of using a delete or backspace button in the appropriate spot.

True SBell. What about making a option to limit the number of pics that can be posted?

Why would they do that ??? ? That problem is simple enough to fix, just don't quote the pictures.

The problem is that hitting quote includes everything. So it needs to be up to the responder to be responsible. Which is also why I can't agree with limiting picture amounts.

DTF noobs are doing this again rampantly and it's a pain/irritating reading through a page.

Yes. I don't need to see the same pictures three or more times in a row.

There also seems to be an inflationary number of REBOR Threads.

When you see it happen you can flag the post to a moderator, so that a member of staff can fix the post and inform the poster about limiting use of the quote button.

I think the one I saw yesterday was made by the same member. It also was deleted, it seems.

Was that me? If so, I'm sorry! I forget to delete out the irrelevant parts of a quote sometimes. My bad!

I made a few mistakes with the quote button in the past. I'm trying to use quotes as little as possible though.

Remember, you can always go back and modify your old posts. you can also edit the text you are quoting to remove irrelevant bits. I think many members do not realise this.

So, if you accidentally quoted several images, you can always go back and remove the images from the quote later.
