I would tend to agree with this, the rule says...

"Do not post in your thread ("bumping" it) just to have it appear on the top of the forum."

Adding a pic to an existing thread is not the same as bumping it just to get it to the top. I used to post on a board that was really bad for people posting the word "bump" just to get a thread back to the top, no wonder some people had 25,000+ post counts.

Besides, if we had 6 pet threads, 4 lighthouse threads, and 3 bridge threads I may get confused and post the same pics over and over again without realizing it.

Welcome to the forums!

In my comment I did mean adding to an existing thread vs. bumping to get your post to the top -- just in case there's any question to my intent in my response.

That is what I was trying to point out.

I'll use this thread to introduce myself too, since folks will have noticed my pictures popping up !!

From Fife, in Scotland.

Not any more than a hobby photographer, but I'm beginning to get more interested in it, and messing about with composition etc.

Starting to find the limits of my old Kodak z650 tho, need to save my pennies for a new camera soon.
