But Dave….
Your opinion is kinda like judging your own beauty contest!!
I think your bias is obvious!
Way too prolific…pushes other threads too quickly

I put him on Ignore which kills individual posts but threads still show up.

Judging by all his posts today (April 4) Dave is not on board with restricting his photos to one thread!!!

The photos are great - keep em coming!
I'd like to see "PHOTO" added to the subject line to make them easy to spot!


Thanks!

I too appreciate what you are doing but I think it would be nice if they were in a single thread. Sort of feels as if it is taking over the forum.

The problem with putting them all into1 thread is that the pictures would get totally mixed up with all the comments unless every comment quotes and reposts the pictures and even then total mix-up. Rather than complaining why not seek the opinion of Ryan - in a situation like this it's the only one that really means anything in the end.

Just enjoy the pictures. Most are inane comments anyway.

I would really appreciate them being in one thread. It reduces clutter, keeps things organized, and makes my life a little easier.

Plus, I think it just reads better... but that's just me.

Hope you find a solution to posting the pictures. They are an interesting part of this forum. Take them, or leave them. I take them as is.

While I enjoy the pictures, I am beginning to feel the same way.

What's the saying,“For whoso hath too much of any good, Of that same good he shall be soon bereft.”?

Dave could start a thread similar to "Post a Model A Story" for all of his photos.

I sent Dave a PM requesting that he start reconciling his images in one thread from here on out... and he just replied that he would stop posting all together.

I'm in no way trying to rain on people's parade. I have been fielding plenty of private messages from folks saying they like the content, but prefer it be in one thread, and I agree...

Hopefully it's just a misunderstanding.

In any case, carry on...

Thanks Ryan for being "up front" with us.

Thanks Ryan
Imho….these voluminous pic postings and subsequent voluminous comments can/is relegating this site to something more akin to a Facebook page. The comments move the tread more than Dave’s original post.
I’m sure not all agree and say ignore the volume….and that is what I do.
I’m here for the “beef” not the fluff…tech, parts, common issues.
To each their own I suppose.
Looks like it’s being dealt with or at least encouraged to get back on track.
