when you make a thread, rather than just post a link and a couple of words can you maybe say something about the story or paste one or two paragraphs (not the whole story) about it so we have a rough idea what its about and what your opinion is.

Also if you just post a youtube video can you give some sort of narrative as to what its about? Not everyone can watch youtube and some of us are deaf so if you want feedback it would be helpful to get the gist of it in text too.

I feel this would probably stimulate people to click those links and bother reading or watching it.

Cheers!

I always thought "here here" as in "I agree with you here" but it could be "hear here" as in "I hear you" i have no idea

Oh and another reason is if we are at work or elsewhere some news sites are blocked or take ages to load so it really is worth saying a little more about the story and what you think about it.

And there have been a few times something was interesting enough to feature, but since the OP had no words just a link, it was a pain to make it into the featured post,

and frankly if it takes too much effort I get distracted.

So, for example, if I was making a news post it might look like....

link [Fake Time Magazine Article.com]

Wow!

According to this Time magazine article under obamacare the IRS can come to your house and see how your living fireman is doing after you shot him in the face.

This kind of s*** pisses me off!

What do you think?



Like that... Right?

Yeah I find that too. Although my post about the connecticut shooting was pretty much just a link but that was done in a massive hurry while news broke.

Also if you put a big f*** off picture in your thread starter we cannot feature it which is a shame because some stories are feature worthy but with the giant picture it would just f*** up home page.

but i don't know how to do the link thing ... i can't take lines out of posts or highlight them either ... and i usually ignore links because they take too much time to read ...i'm usually interested in members ideas and views rather than a stranger in a link .... i suppose this'll be the end of my thread making now ...oh well , i got away with it for two years ... i suppose (guess usa) i'll have to move onto a new forum site that puts the emphasis on members views rather than irritating lengthy links .

not at all, you get the wrong end of the stick. What I am referring to is when people post a link or a video and go "look at this"

sometimes people cannot click the link so have absolutely no idea what the topic is about other than the title.

Yeah, that was mostly to stop from haveing to merge a lot of "breaking news" threads.

though you would be surprised at how many people don't see the featured post, even though it is right there

Anyway finding something to feature after Friday theme is always hard for me.

mmm... is that true ...or are you inserting a sneaky exemption in for me because you're my fave mod ? ..... and .... i've been having terrible trouble with threads that have videos on them ...i just can't see them ...i didn't see or hear one track on alkaia's recent music thread ...i've a good mind to ask el supremo for my money back .
