I've noticed in a few threads recently that people are commenting about how confusing the boards can get at times with multiple threads with similar topics.

A few comments about threads and keeping things simple:

- If a thread is more than say 5-6 days old, consider just letting the thread wither. Only post if doing so will really add something to the boards. Remember, posting to an old thread will bump it to the top of the forum. For example, posting a one liner to an old thread saying you agree with the OP probably isn't a good idea.

- Avoid cross-posting, or posting the same thing across multiple threads.

- Consider using the "Notify me when a reply is posted" option in the options options section when you post a reply to a thread. This will tell the forum software to email you when someone responds to a thread you've participated in.
