All the photography that people,take the time to do,regardless of their motivation, has been incredibly helpful to me when it comes time to pull the trigger on an item that I might be on the fence about,or had previously not even considered. I really appreciate it and when I can try to return the favor.

Double posting does not bother me at all (if used sensibly).
There will be people who only look at certain threads. So only posting in WAYWT may mean great product images are missed.
Getting some more visual content in the product threads is central to my original idea of linking the product page to the relevant forum thread, so potential customers could see how things looked like in real life…
Agree. There are product threads I pay no attention to but I do look at the WAYWT daily because this is likely where most people will post.

Heading to Upstate NY this weekend for an old friends wedding. While I'm looking forward to seeing my old college friends, I tend to be a shit magnet and attract every dipshit in the room that feels the need to drop an asinine comment on some aspect of my being or offer unsolicited advice on a topic they have no subject matter expertise.
Thank God Jody will be there to run interference or I'd strangle someone. -

Thank God Jody will be there to run interference or I'd strangle someone.Just drop a casual Airplane reference to shut them up. "Have you ever seen a grown man naked?"

I wish I were eloquent enough to just quote a movie
Hour 1: passive aggressive sarcasm
"How have I made it though life this far without your unsolicited advice?"
Hour 2: actively aggressive analogies
"Your life must be like watching porn in slow motion, what's usually a normal event is now an awkward boner"
Hour 3: just being mean
"Your voice is like listening to a leaky anus"
Which is why Jody doesn't let me to go to social events alone.

Maybe there would be a way for WAYWT post tagged with a IH product (say @IHSH-76 for example) to automatically be posted in the relevant product thread…
OR
Is there a way to post in 2+ threads in one time?
I think I mentioned this earlier but the tagging option has been discussed and at least superficially explored. The problem is that the forum runs on a relatively simple, straightforward platform and the processing power and programming required to tag and cross-reference effectively is still quite high end. This is why we only see it working well on the major social media platforms like IG and Twitter.
I suspect the automatic double posting, while simpler, would also require a higher level of functionality than is current workable on the forum engine.
-
In addition, multi-thread auto posting would probably piss off a lot of members, perhaps more members than it would satisfy.

We're going to visit my family in Charlotte for the week, and we booked flights to leave today at 1:45 pm. Overnight, at 2 am, our flight was cancelled.
Fuck you, Frontier.

I occasionally double post in WAYWT for exactly @neph93 concern about original item threads being under used. It doesn't bother me too much.
Maybe I/we all should give more thought about the need for a WAYWT thread at all. Validation addiction is a hell of a thing.
I try to do just that but someone keeps deleting my Crocs thread!

My approach to double posting is that I only ever do it once per item purchased, and generally because I become an over excited child.
I put a few fit pics on the item page and one 'look how f-ing cool I think I look' x post in the WAYWT thread. Then I calm down and go away for a few days to give everyone a break from my insesent b.s.

I think double posting is fine. I usually check the waywt thread but I don’t always check the product thread, especially if it’s something I don’t own.

hopefully it'll get done within the day (monday). i'm pretty lucky that i reached the hotel before the TPMS went off and then i realised.. had to get continental cover for taking the car over to europe so that's not too bad.
i don't understand why rentals take the spare tyre or space saver out of the trunk as well. it's a stupid idea. doesn't even come with a tyre inflator kit for i car that (i'm assuming) runs RFT…
