Can someone please write a guide (or point me to it, of one exists already, I couldn't find one) that kinda explains that's its best to read a thread, or at least get the main gist of a long thread, before replying with advice/comments??

This all seems like common sense to me, common courtesy, but it sure happens often, and drives me crazy! I just thought it would be nice to have a link to refer a person to, instead of typing out an explanation of what has already happened.

Thoughts anyone?

Bugs the poop out of me too...but I think Nifty hit the nail on the head here:

Unfortunately, I think this kind of thing is just human nature that we would have a VERY hard time altering.

People just don't pay attention....or are paying attention to the wrong things.

IMO stupid phones have ruined forums sorry, yes, that's an exaggeration and a generalization, but it's true too, tho it's not really the phones themselves, but the people who use them have no inkling of what a forum is and how it works(worked), or what a bulletin board was(to age me). Forum etiquette is rare to non-existent.
Staccato 'texting' has replaced thoughtful discussion.

I've been participating in forums for decades, and I have seen a sharp decline in content integrity since the phones/mobile devices got more popular in the last few years. Forums have always had chatting/social sections and topic discussion sections were mostly kept on topic, the shucking and jiving was kept in the social sections and it was 'self enforced' by forum members, worked great!

Growing ones post numbers, likes, and yakking seems to have taken precedence over content...look at this thread.....geezuz can't anyone stay on topic?!?! I'm not against chatting and joking and bantering, but gawd, 'get a room'! It's not just about solutions found, many topic discussions that could go on for months or years are derailed and clogged by the flotsam...making them near useless unless one wants to spend the whole day scrolling thru all the crap to find good info. I could go on and on, be glad I'm tired(but not inebriated). RantOver. Apologies to those offended.

No worries. I keep puppy training pads on me at all times.
