Yeah, I either look on my phone and totally forget to comment once I get home, or I just don't even look at that section for some reason for a bit at a time. I love looking at everyone's pictures! Especially during my lunch breaks at work. I will try harder to check that section out more frequently
Definitely what I will be doing! I think everyone seems to enjoy getting replies on their threads, even if it is a simple "great pictures!" or "cute pup!". And let's be honest, logging in and typing on the phone/tablet isn't that hard I'll definitely be making more of an effort to reply to picture threads.
Honestly, I'd take the spam over the new slow forum because of the 20 questions game to post anything. It's such a pain. I'd go ahead and blame that recent snails pace in the photo threads
I really think this one has more to do with Facebook. Maybe not for you in particular, but in general. I know I am more likely to post pictures on Facebook because I don't have to upload them elsewhere first like I do to post here, and I'm unlikely to link my Facebook photos here because they're huge and I never know if everybody can actually see them. It feels redundant to post them in both places, too.
Likewise, I see people who post on Facebook and on Chaz, the same photos, but it's SO much easier to reply or even just click "like" on Facebook.
So I guess I also blame it on not having a quick reply box.
I am guilty of looking (on my phone) and not posting! I've never been terribly chatty on Chaz but I'll make an effort to post more. I miss quick reply, too
Honestly I think this has been going on here for a while. I know it was also brought up in the past on here. Although I think it's gotten worse now.
I agree if there was a quick reply button still; I'd post A LOT more. As I always use that on all the forums I'm on. But now having to do the whole reply + question I just don't feel like posting.
It's nothing to do with the question system, that never puts me off replying if I want to. I'm just lazy, or I have nothing to say other than 'nice photo' etc. I enjoy all the pictures, I just don't always have much to say about them.
I think Facebook impacts on all forums. Not that I use any others anymore or for years!!! But I know there are thriving communities on Facebook, so who needs forums anymore?!
I can't see me ever not using Chaz really... It's just part of my daily routine... Bodhis fault
I dont post pixs & for the same reason.
I,just,think that people are busy or dont know me so dont take the time,to answer my pixs post as I dont post much.
So, is this a collective "Our Chaz resolution is to start replying to picture threads, post more in NOT the catch all threads and anytime a topic comes to mind even if it's a already done in the past topic, to post it."

I think that the lack of a quick reply feature and the questions every time someone replies might keep some from leaving a "cool!" or "neat!" reply like they used to.
I wish there was some way to stop the spam but keep the QR. Some forums I am on have questions until the poster reaches a certain amount of posts (usually like 20 or something) then the QR feature becomes available and the questions disappear. I wish we had something like that here because I am a member of a few forums that aren't even as big as this one and they have a QR and no questions

Same here. Even when I try to spice up my photo threads with fun captions... I'll get 1-2 responses. Not worth it. (But I'm guilty of not responding to other threads, though I do try!)
