Hi Admins,
There is a wealth of material on this forum and i dare say most of it goes unread by many people. How about this as a thought:
A new thread area, similar to the "archives" area, where an editor or admin person, digs out one old thread a week and makes it available for people to read and maybe respond to. It is sometimes good going back to the old threads and see what has changed, and itmay also be good for newbies as they will then get to see some of the previously submitted material that they may not think of trying to search on.
I have noticed on some rare threads that date back a few years, that it is interesting to see what people wrote at the time, and then see if they further respond with the power of hindsight. In addition, not everyone searches on various topics and there are also some topics that some people may never search.
What do you think of this suggestion? That is, a new area, similar to the archives where one old thread from years gone by is copied to in the hope of rejuventing it or just making it more accessible or visible for further comment.
I guess it could be something like the news columns that show articles from 5 years or 10 years ago - but instead, a thread from 6-12 months ago.
Just a thought.
