I was thinking the same thing. Maybe those should be all collected in one thread. Or at least into a new forumn *hint hint Ken* even though that doesn't help this situation. I don't see the problem (I see the issue, but not the problem). Updates or questions were made, those topics are meant to serve a high priority for the database, they deserve just as much of a right to be there in bulk as any other topics even though it looks... um.... "overbearing" I guess is the word I'm looking for. All of the other active topics are in the list; you just have to scroll a bit for a change. | | | If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't for you.

Is it really necessary to hijack the "Today's Active Topics" with endless common name threads?  Here's a quick tip: if you implement a forum block for user "surfeur51" (under "My Profiler" / "Blocked Users", bottom of the page), you'll find that the number of "Todays Active Topics" already cleans up nicely. And you'll still get to keep the common name-finding threads that are actually being maintained by someone, or at least the ones where something actually happens. | | | | Last edited: by T!M |

... This even made me more loughing: The user who was one of the biggest opponents against a new forum has shown very impressive it would be useful.  |

| | Posted: | | | | Hopeing on one or two of those started threads something good exists because of the help of some users. (It would be a pity to lose the confirmations some users already did in those threads) Another good thing I learned because of this: If you remove a positive vote from a vote, you get it back and you have the possibility to put it on another post. |

| | Posted: | | | | I don't know how this forum works, but
Is there a possibility that someone( or 2) could offer to be a a moderator/keeper of a new thread. Someone with plenty of time to keep the info neat and tidy and on topic?
Just a thought.

| | Posted: | | | | Holy cow, I only just now realized how many of those threads were opened. Please, they will just get lost and forgotten. What a waste of time and space.  |
