Why do so many people not bother to reply to a forum in sequence?
Are they attention seekers
? Are they just queue jumpers?
Are they as ill mannered off line as they are on?
Yes, sometimesreplying in this method may be relevant, but most times it is not.
Example "what time is it where you are?"
I post 6pm, Saturday. Rather than reply under that answer, many will reply directly to the response above, thus the forum looks like this.
Hubber1 5.55pm
Hubber 4 6:15
Hubber 2 6:01pm
Hubber 3 6:02pm
Hubber 5 6:22
Hubber 6 6:07
See what I mean? Please try
and post direct responses where
it would
make the forum flow
better.
What time is it thread is always a response to the OP i would have thought ? and if someone does not want to talk to you specifically then it is normal to respond to aprevious post. The same applies in the discussion threads, there are often several different conversations going on at the same time, isn't this what the chronological and threaded view choices are for ?

Who thinks we should ask to reinstate a page dedicated to locating hubbers by hubber score. Beginning with 100-0.We once had such a page here that made the hubber score much more relevant, and we could at least get a chance to locate the top hubbers who most definitely deserved high praise for...

If I may be so bold as to make a request of HubPages, I would like you to please re-examine at this time your decision to ban Jerrico Usher from the Hub Forums.He has proven himself to be quite mindful of the mistake he made before and seems to me to be waaay to smart to make the same mistake...

Some of us are encountering an issue in the forum. On the front page, it will indicate that responses have been made since we last participated in a thread, but when we click on the name of the most recent respondent, rather than being taken to that response, we come to the start of the last page...
