I tend to do what the OP described for major updates and add an Update with a timestamp to the original post.

In addition I add in a post to bump the thread and summarise the update itself.

This way I get the benefits of having a single continuous devlog post at the top while also having a thread people can go through. Also get a bump for each update.

I personally don't think this makes the thread too verbose, and I'm not sure bandwidth is *too* much of an issue.

What are your thoughts?

That's probably the best workaround that I've head thust far tbh.

My only concern is that, given the nature of the media, the OP is gonna get huge. For users w/ less powerful machines or slower internet, the barrage of gifs and images might get really heavy. I don't know if there are safety elements built into the site that stagger content loading, but I haven't heard anything from the devs when I've mentioned it in the past.

Thanks for the input, I'll have to update my OP. I've been adding updates through comment only.
