Inability to add a new reply, when I'm the last poster. Thread

So, I have a thread where I post bug reports into on a game's forum. The developer doesn't always have to reply to these reports, but I know they see them because it shows a new post being in that thread to them.

Here's the problem. I post a bug report 2 days ago, now I post a new one today - and it just gets edited into my older post. There's no indication a new bug report has been added to the thread because it's treated as an edit.

Please remove the 'multiple posts = edits' thing, it's entirely unnecessary.

Pretty sure double-posting is almost universally hated.

Double posting within the last thirty minutes of your last post is hated.

Adding a new bug report to a topic a while after your last report, only to have it edited into your older post, is a guarantee that the new bug report doesn't get seen until someone else posts in the topic.

So it seems like the only alternative I have is just to make a new thread for every single bug report, which I can guarantee you is more annoying than seeing two posts in a row.

Thanks for your feedback. I'll pass it on to our developers to see if we can tweak this.

In the Secrets of Grindea beta forum, I've had to resort to making a new thread for every single new batch of bugs I find.

The developer posted a reply to one of them, then tried to add a reply with a bugfix later on. I didn't see it for a week because it got edited into his old post and I had no reason to revisit the topic. He now just PMs me directly with bugfixes.

This isn't how this forum should work. It's ridiculous.

I've noticed the same thing, and like you're saying ,it doesn't tell people there's a new thread posting when it automatically appends to the previous post, so threads can look dead when they're not.

On other forums I hate making three or four posts of just me for an update though. Would be great if the post modification time/date was updated & people who watch the thread get an updated thread notice.

Totally agreeing with TheHappyFriar on this one, thou. Best if the thread was simply marked unread after either the first (OP's) or the last post is edited.
