Dave_Q Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 One thing to be aware of with the colours posting etc is that if a mod uses Tapatalk this stuff isnt easily available.Yeah I realised that when I was posting, hence the thought of [mod] tags which read across all platforms. Could still use a different colour as well obvs. The Moog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveDorson Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I've not voted because I'm not really bothered  I was honestly unaware of the discontent before I saw JohnF's post and read peoples concerns on TDW. Perhaps I'm part of the clique and I don't know it. It'd not the first time I've been accused of such things where forums are concerned.

myglaren Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Organising threads won't be so hard, primarily modern and open will remain as is. We can filter the most recent for sale threads and move them. I don't think anyone will care if threads about cars that are long since sold stay miles down the main forum where no man dares go. Questions is a good one but again, if we draw a line in the sand and everything suitable goes in there from next week, in a few weeks you'll have to scroll down quite a way. Threads that reappear can be moved as and when that happens with a link left.If the forum software supports it you could have the threads in that forum autopurge after say 90 days from the last time it was accessed.

Ohdearme Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I feel my views are best expressed through an aerial shot of Rome by night, sent to you via Lufthansa’s on board wi-fi, no less. Not much chod up here and the stewardess gave me a very stern warning when I asked about the trouser snake trick.  An hours drive over the M62 with just me and the Jag awaits after a probably undignified sprint for a connection in Frankfurt.

SiC Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 If the forum software supports it you could have the threads in that forum autopurge after say 90 days from the last time it was accessed.We frequently have old threads of many year old resurrected. Either by the current owner updating after a long while or new owners discovering the car after Googling. Also on the obscure cars, this place is often the only place Google returns results for. It's how quite a few people have found this place. Justin Case, stephen01, LightBulbFun and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robinmasters Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Reading this thread changed my mind on how to vote; I was all for leaving things as is, believing that I miss stuff because I'd not looked in the right place- for sale particularly, I like for sale threads being part of the content of the main board - you get a lot more interesting thread drift than when there's a dedicated sub-forum.   However, I hadn't considered how much I miss due to threads dropping off the first page so quickly.  The Moog and groovylee 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groovylee Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 ive just done a vote thing. went for new stuff. in all honesty, I haven't been on this forum for as long as many, but I love it here. I love the shite ethos, and the crazy crazy bastards that inhabit this forum - you are all a welcome distraction from my current nightmare work/life balance, and I salute you for that. I have no issue with the way things are currently, but im not particularly enjoying the malcontent of the people that live in my distraction-world, and therefore i'd like it to be fixed please. preferably by hammering a smaller socket over it... I think that made sense? if not, meh.

Alfamale Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Agree the changes are a positive move and have voted accordingly.  I don’t see an issue with a flea market section though, would save trawling through the for sale / wanted thread and unpopular and sold stuff would naturally drop off the front page as we go.  Just my two penneth. chaseracer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightBulbFun Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 my 2 autoshite new shekels worth on the moderns issue is I say, dont set an age limit or such on anything, I say just let the person making the new thread decide if their car is Autoshite or Modernshite  I imagine for example someone who imported/had a 2014 Lada 2107 or a hindustan ambassador would prolly want to post it in the Autoshite section rather then in the moderns section, and I imagine most would agree such cars would best fit in autoshite rather then in the modern section, even tho they are only 5 years old or so Tomtation and Tamworthbay 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
