Shawn, I remmeber you posting something about the automerge feature of the forum being live... isn't it working any more? I have seen people post 3 times in a row and it is just a pain; worst part is that they usually don't know how a forum works and they quote 20 lines from another post before replying
There is no auto-merge function. Last year I did something where you couldn't post if you were the last poster (you could only edit your last post). But it went away a little later.
Automerge is annoying, because each thread can have multiple sub-threads and it can become terribly confusing if one message contains responses to three or more previous posts.
