Re: automatic merging of posts
Reply #3 –
Let's say you have a topic in second page and you are the last poster.
You post again and the post, instead of being added, it is merged to the previous one.
The post (both in Elk and in SMF) will remain on the second page, will not appear in "recent posts", I doubt (but to be honest I'm not 100% sure) it will appear in new replies, a new post notification email will not be sent, etc.
To me, in a similar situation, the expectation of the poster is completely different from the current behaviour (at least the expectation I would have as poster in a similar situation).
