1. We need to be more judicious before starting new threads. Seems many multiple threads rehash the same information. Before starting a new thread, suggest we first search if that topic has already been started then add to that. It would be good if Admin could combine some threads of same topic. I understand new forum members get a 'rule book' for forum use. If not already included in this, advice to search the forum for threads that may already answer their question rather that start another thread would be appropriate. Perhaps when trying to start a new thread, a timely reminder at this time to search for relevant existing threads would be warranted.
2. Some thread titles do nothing to tell us about the content of that thread - eg. New Starter - some advice
or
Hi! I'm new here, need some help!
(No offense intended...)
When sifting through hundreds of posts, we rely on descriptions to help us find the information we want. Please use meaningful titles for threads and messages.
3. We welcome and appreciate new forum members, but do we really want each new member to start a new thread to introduce themselves? I suggest having ONE
Introduce Yourself thread.
4. Finally, will this forum soon be bursting at the seems from new threads started each year for each member's birthday? Suggest ONE
Birthday thread for all.
Does the above seem reasonable to you, people?
