Как я поняла есть ограниченя на количество публикаций внутри одной темы? То есть надо как-то по-другому публиковать? Подскажите, пожалуйса,как это делается, чтобы продолжить создавать посты в рамках одного тега. Наверное, всё куда легче, но из-за того, что я на платформе недавно и английский язык - не мой родной, немного трудно. As I understand it, there are limits on the number of posts within a single topic? Does that mean I need to post differently? Could you please explain how to go about this so I can keep creating posts under the same tag? It’s probably much simpler than I think, but since I’m new to the platform and English isn’t my native language, I’m finding it a bit difficult. ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/4/1/41cab0324bfcd01ef8ea50a326c34c26851522a3.png) ---

It is only for the sketchbook category. And if you read the posting to that the closing message is pointing to, then you would know that we only allow 5 sketchbooks, because the word sketchBOOK points already to its sense since books have many pages, and sketchbooks in real life are made to collect ALL OF YOUR SKETCHES. Once we allowed only one sketchbook, but users did not care, then the forum installed a bot who watches over it, and if a user does not adhere to the rule now, so that only a maximum of 5 sketchbooks is allowed, and then tries to post its sixth sketchbook topic (usually) for a single picture the bot closes that topic and adds a description and the link to the topic which declares all of this. So, a sketchbook topic is for collecting a lot of pictures, not for posting a single picture. Nothing more, nothing less. Michelist Add/Edit: Here you have examples of what a sketchbook topic is meant for, look at these sketchbooks as examples: > [@KNap's Chroma Corps paintings](https://krita-artists.org/t/knaps-chroma-corps-paintings/186957/27): > > Assignment 28 Illustration: paint your character in the style of another Chroma Corps participant and use their entry painting’s layout I chose to try copying Sabi’s (luckysabiii on Instagram) style: > [@Avalander's daily painting and sketches](https://krita-artists.org/t/avalanders-daily-painting-and-sketches/54902/75): > > Finished another study that had been forever in progress. It’s been hard to find the time and motivation to paint over the past couple of years, but hopefully things are getting better now and I’ll be able to post in this thread somewhat regularly. ---

By the way, that was not a crash of Krita, that is a forum function and you should ask questions about how the forum works in the Site Feedback category, so I moved your topic into that category. Additionally, I made your headline a bit more descriptive, so other users with your issue can find it (hopefully). Michelist ---

Thank you very much! I misunderstood the explanation regarding the number of works per topic, which led to some confusion. I was under the impression that once a topic was created, I needed to post individual entries within it, rather than simply posting multiple works at once in a single post. Apparently, the essence of the idea got distorted during the translation. ---

Maybe you want to try [DeepL.com](http://DeepL.com) as translator, perhaps you like the results better? Michelist ---

I’ll definitely give it a try. By the way—just to be safe—to create posts within the same thread, I was supposed to click “Reply” (the one with the arrow), right? In my photo, it says “Ответить.” If that’s the case, my own inattention is going to be the death of me. I feel a bit awkward now. ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/e/6/e63f4da2532ce943bfcf614d64f3b6280c3fae86.png) ---

Yes, you can use that button in your screenshot left beside the bell, or you can also use the blue Reply-Button a little deeper and not on your screenshot, both do the same, and the Reply-Button directly under (or: connected) to postings is to answer directed to that user. ![The Big Blue Reply Button ;-)](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/e/e/ee2b3a34561a2a0266ce13ca2f8adbd2aa84469d.webp) Michelist ---

By the way, if you want to, you can rename your sketchbook topics to something more unspecific, alternatively, you can rename only one or two topics and copy the pictures from your other sketchbook topics into that/those renamed topic/s and close the other topics. Here you are free to decide how to proceed, but often I saw that the users closed all but one or two sketchbooks, sometimes they then adapted the name(s) of the remaining topic(s) and put their sketches from then on in these themed topics. To close a topic, you have to move the opening post (your first in that topic) into the trash can. That usually means, because the trash can icon is not shown, first you have to click on the three dots icon below your first posting and then click on the then shown trash can icon. Although, it is possible that your current user rank `basic user` only does allow you for 24 hours to change the title of your topics, then you can ask our moderators, admins and regular users to change the names for you, and they will happily help you. But if you further participate in the forum, your rank will rise and then you are allowed doing it for yourself. That would allow creating more specific sketchbooks, some users have one for works in ink, in charcoal, in color, others create sketchbooks for, let’s say, cars, plants, houses. I think you get what I want to tell you. Michelist ---

No, you can have as many works in one and the same topic as you like, and as many works in one post (in that topic) as the forum allows. The limit is only to prevent people from constantly creating new sketchbook topics. One (or a few if you wish to maybe separate them by theme) topic is meant to be the one “book” were you post all your sketches. Analogous to a real life sketchbook. The sketchbook category is for people who post a lot of sketches and want to collect them in one single place. ---

```auto ``` Sorry, just one question. If the threads aren’t deleted, can everything be merged into a single thread with the help of moderators and the title changed—is that right? That’s what was mentioned in the post. In other words, the actual submissions and posts are preserved—along with existing comments and so on—but are consolidated under one thread? ---
