Hello
I noticed a problem with the recently added post merging system
https://gbatemp.net/threads/test.108982/page-78#post-9922215
I wanted to test it the other day and it did that
It merged my post with my previous one, but with a post i made months ago (see the original posting date and the edit date)
It means it didn't bump the thread, meaning it could become problematic in some cases
For example, a user wants to solve a problem with a homebrew, he creates a thread, solve the problem, and the user says "Cool works, thanks you"
Then, right after, another problem occurs, the user will post back in the thread, but it wont bump it and no one will get notified, right?
The thread also wont show any new post, so it won't be bolded in the thread list, right?
So, no one will notice that the user still needs help, he will have to create another thread.
Maybe put the merging system you had before? like one or two years ago?
It merged the posts only if they were posted by the same user within 15 minutes
Thanks
