zoiDman, you are correct. However, from what I have seen, threads do not go off topic, until the OP's question has been sufficiently answered. That's one of the things I like about ECF members, they are very courteous like that.
Can you make a special thread where people can only reply one time?

I tend to agree with that...
Like I said, as forums go, this is one of the best I have been on. Too many other forums have their little "Clicks" of members who tend to invade EVER thread.
While it may not be possible to keep replies to one comment or from posts going off topic, it is possible for ECF to create an OFF TOPIC forum ... sort of a "let's take it outside" section for members who want to keep chatting, knowing they are taking a thread OT.
Just a suggestion.

We have that.
Here: The Lounge - E-Cigarette Forum
and here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/outside/
You mean like The Lounge?
The Lounge - E-Cigarette Forum
Or the OUTSIDE forum?
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/outside/
Actually, there are two threads in the "Outside" section that I consider to be "home". One of them I started. The moderators have moved threads from other areas, to the lounge or the outside, on occasion.
If there is a need for a thread that holds extremely important only one opinion per user, I would think that it sounds like a poll.
For example, an OP that says 'which flavor would you be willing to buy?'
If it's a poll, and the selections are provided, then the information will all be readily available in the poll itself. On the other hand, the nature of a discussion thread allows for real time and normal changes, such as a thread that could involve teaching, helping, learning, building, changing, thinking, inventing, waiting for orders by mail, etc.
Now, on a similar, hopefully OT thing (On-topic thing), We do have sticky threads with bump after bump. That one, I think, was a little toooo exaggerated, but that's merely an opinion. I don't know the purpose of bumping a sticky, where are they trying to bump it to, the dynamic wrap-around ECF forum headline? hahahaha

Oh oh, I think I had better be quiet now. El has been looking for an excuse to ban me for several months. I will quietly go away now !!!!
Maybey they can come up with this >
Where can I get me one of those? I need to slap it on the "TRex is Amazing" thread right now.
Let me take a guess, Kirssstens. It's in the "Women's Forum" ?
No. That would be the "Elendil is amazing" thread............
Nah, don't really hang out in the 'womens room' subforum too much. It's actually on the 'new members' subforum.
But thank you for proving my point about a few individuals who continually post offtopic.
Ok, it started out innocently enough and then went off topic after a bit. That's common Kirssstens, people are social creatures. I'm not innocent of going off topic, that's for sure.
