Oh, I agree, but some think that their threads will be viewed more if they post it in Cat/Dog/Pet General - and it just might be the case.
When I open PT, I normally go to Todays Posts first, so I'll see them all, at least to begin with.
However, it would be easier if you want to do a Search for a specific thread later, if they were posted in the appropiate section.
Karen has been known to move threads which are posted in the wrong section.

Doesn't bother me one bit.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

Doesn't bother me either. I just click on "New Posts" when I come here.

I didn't say I'm bothered by it.
I'm wondering WHY they do it. Why would someone post many pictures of their dogs in General instead of Dog General? I just don't get it.

Sometimes it's accidental (I did that once, a long time ago) and other times it's because they have more than one kind of pet (dogs & cats together, for instance) and don't feel like making two separate threads in each section when they can just go to general and create one. Atleast, that's how I've always viewed the reason behind it.

I think some people feel they have made a lot of friends in both the "dog side" and the "cat side" so they post in general so that dog or cat people who don't normally go to the other side may see it. Sometimes people have posted that they are posting something in the 'wrong' section, i.e. a dog health thread in dog general, because they feel they may get more views/input. Some people have posted a memorial for a pet in pet general because they feel not many will go to pet memorial. Sometimes they post pictures of all their pets, but don't post in in pet general because they feel not many will see it there. Sometimes it's probably an accident. Probably there are many different reasons for it
As for me, I'm more likely to miss a thread in general than anywhere else, just because it scrolls by so fast.
