An, no, not the barrage of the paid forum posters, nor their “best of threads”?

Along the lines of the time readings of the last posts? Or, has it always been this way and I never noticed?

If this has been mentioned then disregard.

much ty. How to spot a paid forum poster/artificial forum traffic producer (see list of actions/phrases below):

Copius pattern amounts of phrases like “Anyone have”..., “Anybody know?”.... and their variations.

Thanks in advance!

Noticed it on mobile earlier today. New feature.

Still not getting notifications when someone quotes one of my post but I do receive PM's now that I wasn't getting before. Half fixed?

What do you mean by "paid" posters?' I've heard this mentioned before. Paid by who?
