Repost!

Why on earth would you repost it again? It's literally 10 posts/half a page up.

logan5 · #**12523** Posted **Apr 1, 2020, 12:11 AM**

Because it's a nice shot that deserved to be at the top of the page instead of a Calgary shot.

Why would you bother complaining about it? People repost pictures all the time. At least I put it on a new page. Seriously, why would that bother you so much?

Better than another Chad...er Calgary.

It's not a different page for me! The page each post falls on depends on the settings a person selects for the number of posts per page under the user CP. I have mine set at the max which is 25, but people can chose as low as 5. So no one can control what page something is displayed on for others since it's different for everyone.

Didn't know that. I figured the page turned at the same time for everyone. I was mostly poking fun at Chad.

Because reposting pictures on the same page makes baby Jesus cry.

Honestly, I find it annoying as hell to have to scroll through all the same pictures I just saw.

Chadillaccc · #**12530** Posted **Apr 1, 2020, 5:27 AM**

At least all the pictures I post are interesting and aren't always the same angle with the same bridge in the same evening twilight in Coldrsx... er, I mean, Edmonton.

Yay I did a double comeback!

Now, back to the purpose of the thread.

A beautiful skyline!

Oy, I think I better get tested. Might be coming down with something.

It seems pandemic stress is getting to most of us. Naturally.
I’m glad for the repost of the two Vancouver shots: otherwise I would probably have missed them, plus they are from angles rarely seen. I also like the Calgary repost: the photo quality is crappy, but the radiating towers and composition are very cool. Chad’s first picture is nice, but the next ones are plain and not interesting. Sorry Chad. Maybe it is these kinds that provoke the teasing.

And, I — because I bought a great new camera and intended to contribute more photos, but have been too busy to produce a single damn one. I even went to Vienna for two weeks of work, took hundreds of shots, but all with the iphone. Some people!

Looks so compact from that angle. Reminds me of New York New York in Vegas.

I'm curious how that modern house in shaughnessy got approved. I remember the First Shaughnessy Design Panel being really rigid about "craftsman style" and a nightmare to deal with.

It's not on the same page for me. It's just a few posts up. You're forcing everyone to look at something a 2nd time when we just finished scrolling past it. If I (or anyone else) wants to look at it again we all know where it is. Re-posting something from last week/month is totally different although that can get out of hand too.

TorontoDrew · #**12539** Posted **Apr 1, 2020, 4:26 PM**

I'm not bothered by it, it's annoying when it's done on the same page or if it's a ton of pictures, reposting 1 or 2 is no big deal.

The last two are nicer than the first one, so I doubt that has anything to do with the teasing... since the teasing began on this page before that post obviously. The photos I post are no worse than many of the photos of other cities post here. The teasing comes from the fact that I frequently am the first person to post skyline photos when a new page starts on the 20-post-per-page format.
