"Test" threads.

[_PD_]

OK, simple question for you.

This really bugs me, and I need an answer!

Why do people have to create threads in the testing forum to test their sigs?! If you just look at any other post you've ever made, it's there!

What am I missing?

so you don't have to even waste time searching for a post of yours, quick & simple.

They are noobs i know.

Some might be testing a post but theres a preview post/thread option.

its like those 56K WARNING LOLNO people, totally clueless

So clicking on "User CP" and then any post you've made is slower than creating a new thread?!
I beg to differ.

EDIT:

It even previews you your sig when you change it!!!!

 

[chiggz]

maybe its their first post with a sig? maybe they dont know that a sig change will affect all previous posts with sig?

Or, when you're on the sig options page where you put the code, why not just click the preview button?

That board is the most incredibly boring, geeky and useless thing on the internet.

The simple answer would be, because that's what that forum is for. Plus, it'll also add another +1 to someone's post count too, if they're bothered about such things.

Posts do not count in the test forum.

I assumed postcounts were disabled for that forum. If not then there's the answer to the OP's question.

You'll find a lot of people test their sigs in that forum, then when they realise that it isn't +1 to their postcount, they don't bother again

It's fun for spamming.

Just tested it and you're correct. I never knew that.

exactly!

It used to give you a post when posting in there, it didn't used to update your signature very well. These things stopped some time ago but there was no point removing it.

 

[manoz]

I think it's a fun little retreat :|

 

[gillywibble]

it's spam with no effort.

 

[div0]

I never venture that far down the forums

 

[Marky]

Yes this is odd...
But why would someone post about it
