In all likelyhood, this is less than trivial. Removing a post is easy, but shoehorning one or more of them into an existing sequence of posts is probably not possible without a significant amount of work. Depending on how the data model is implemented, it may not be possible at all.

I would divide the content of the first one in the two sequent ones.
Could you Judas do this for me, please?
If you cannot do this directly, I could add 2 empty posts in queue in the current thread page... maybe you could move those after the open-post.
I am still waiting to find out about any sort of limits but I am not sure when I'll get that info :)

I thought it was a common function, but evidently it is not so.
In this case, Judas, could you remove post #2, post #3 and post #5?
I know it would not be a correct behaviour toward the authors of those posts, but if you read them you will realize that those posts lost any interest, since they referred to thread initial questions.

It probably is, in standard forum software. However, GOG does not use standard forum software. The GOG forum is developed in-house, don't ask me why. To me it would make more sense to focus on their core business, and use external software for standard functionality, but they appear to prefer to do everything themselves.

I'm sorry.
Actually, after your explanations, I had no intention to "slide" anything.
I'm going to recap the work-around procedure I've got in my mind.
If you delete those "intermediate" posts, my thread will begin with three posts of mine (that is editable posts).
At that point, I will take the OP code, divide this original long code in three sections, leave the first section in the first post (the Opening Post), cut&paste the second section in the second post and the third section in the third post. Through this expedient, surely I won't have a long complete OP, however, my thread will start with all its content in its first page. In other words, I will have a "composite" OP, through three (sub)posts, instead of a single OP of a single post.

After this compromise solution, my thread looks better than before XD.
