Should I Start New Threads ? The ups and downs.

[kashmier]

I am at a loss. Should I look for threads under 'Show Me' to post items on, or should I start a new thread with my items? It seems like starting new threads for items will allow them to be viewed easier. It is hard to see newly listed items in threads already started. The original poster can take up the whole first page on my computer. I am guilty of doing this. It doesn't seem right. Which is why I think it might be better to just start new threads with each item.   What do you do?

I asked a similar question and received this response from Cian which indicates it's better to post in existing topics:

You can sort the Show Me board by most recent, and within each topic you can sort responses by newest to oldest.

ETA: I agree that if the topic creator includes more than one product it's hard to see the newest responses.

Thank you for pointing this out. I had NO IDEA you could sort each thread for newest to oldest, but it's true!

I just started a postcard blog. Therefore I regularly search the postcard thread for any cards that might be a good fit for my blog. This is easy at the moment, as there has only been one thread. My search would be harder with more threads.  But of course the heavier the thread gets, the harder it will be to search that thread for items. So. I don't know. I am just seeing how this all plays out as the forum develops and gets more active.

I am aware of the option of newest to oldest. I figured that when I post something and look at newest to oldest I would see my post as the newest or at least near the top but this does not happen.  

Oh it seems like newest to oldest only works by what page you are on. It would be great if it worked for the entire thread but then searching for posts you might have made so as not to post the same thing twice will be difficult. Is there a way to see only the posts you have made to each specific thread?

@kashmier  I don't see a way to filter for your own posts/responses in a specific thread/topic, only all posts or replies in your profile. That would be a great forum feedback suggestion.
