Keeping things in a logical order

Post #1 by Jeremy Rowland » Mon Oct 27, 2008 3:14 pm

Hi Folks,

Just an idea but would it be possible for people posting pics to post em under the topics and threads already started, for example post pics of Komatsu excavators under the thread that already exists for them which if I remember correctly Nick started "Komatsu's in action"
And Hymacs under Hymac, Poclain under Poclain etc....
I know that its great we have so many contributors and I would say a big thank you to all who have shared their pics and memories, I just think it would help the site be a little neater and make locating threads easier?
Just an idea?

Jeremy

Sounds good to me .
I do like the way threads are already themed into machine types. :D

Also, IF you are posting in a NEW thread, please state a clear subject, including the machine make and type.

I also want to thank you all for contributing! The site is really going well!

QUOTE: people don't always read all the old post ,but will look at a new one

I'm afraid I agree with Bruce - the contents of many threads have nothing in relation to the subject content of how a thread started - sure, many threads evolve and have tangents but to list a new thread under an old one just because it involves a specific manufacturer etc would be like having a shop with all the groceries mixed up on one shelf - It's all food but all may not be to your taste. ;)

People could possibly put in brackets a manufacturers name after a thread title if that would help. :ugeek:
