Tidying up this forum

Anyone know how we can go about tidying up this forum? It is annoying that I have two scroll down a couple of pages worth past largely irrelevent "sticky's" that have have not been updated for over a year and that refer to issues in an old version of the software.

Perhaps an archive would be appropriate.

Can't find that option - perhaps I'm looking right past it, but it is not jumping off the page at me.

And it's not what I want anyway. I actually want to see "current" stuff, irrespective of whether it is new since I last read it.

Out of the 15 sticky announcments, 8 are explicitely about CP5 (even the FAQ), and have not been modified for ages. So even just archiving these off would reduce the noise. A further one or two look out of date (CFG file backup for example).

I just think it needs a spring clean so that the *default* view looks sensible.

If nothing else, remove the stickiness of the out of date topics - then they will naturally bubble off the end.

When you first start the Forum page, look over to the right, near the top, and you'll see View unanswered posts.

When you subscribe and become a member you get two extra choices....

View posts since last visit and View your posts.

Thanks for the tip, but it's actually worse. Pretty much all I'm interested in the the CP6 forum - the options you mention show me all the posts in *all* the forums.

So back to my original question - how can we tidy up the forum?

You could Search CoPilot.

If you became a member you would have the added advantage of the new posts being marked.

It's probably why members don't appear too fussed about the 'stickies'.

I am a member, and yes I see the extra icons. It is still not what I am looking for.

I can't beleive it is this hard - all I am suggesting is a bit of housecleaning.

Sheesh! Confused
