That was what I was trying to do in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kzoo Posted July 6, 2015 Share #16 Posted July 6, 2015 I have to check this out for myself. Can't ever trust what the Evil Forum Commander says. "Your replies have been merged." So the question becomes….. how many posts can be merged? And what if I don't want them merged? What if I want them to stand alone? Is there a "Don't Merge" button?

You could try, I suppose, but that would waste 15 minutes on something that might not be as fun as wasting it on something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Kosciuszko Posted July 6, 2015 Share #18 Posted July 6, 2015 Is there a "Don't Merge" button?When you start typing the second post the "Don't Merge" button appears to the left of the "Insert other media" box. Click that, and you should be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, you must, because you specifically mentioned it was part of the last upgrade, already. If Kzoo doesn't see it, then it must be something wrong with his machine.
