Re-organizing the forums

zzvyb6 · 2026-04-23T16:32:15-0400

I'd like to see a sorting option for posts not yet getting any responses. Since I only respond to subjects I have knowledge, experience, and recommendations for, that list might make me more likely to address, since high volume even on an interesting issue probably has been beaten to death.
I'd also like to see more 'solutions' to problems reported back from the originator. Don't know how to make this happen, but if there is a fixes, findings, causes and solutions database accessable, that should be very high value to many of us. Plus statistics on common problems (like loader hoses 'miswired' after new hoses or loader removal).

So, one feature, no idea how easy to impliment for the forum, but Polls? Is that possible, i think it would be intresting if that could be added

Can we kill the "here are some similar links" to ancient threads? I am darned tired of zombie threads. Another option I have seen is where forums mark threads that have not been active for over 6 months with a note above the posting box "This is an old thread do you wish to revive it?" This would cut down on Zombie threads. For the most part the dead should stay dead. Zombie threads are a pet peeve of mine.

These guys do not even change their underwear. It is WHY they are on here. No one will talk to them in real life. Would recommend No Changes as the big improvement.

I'll have you know that I changed my underwear just yesterday.

And it was a THURSDAY!

Speak for yourself Mr Oh So Popular.
I wear fresh underwear when I go see the doctor.
Even sometimes when I don't.
