Duplicate Threads

are driving me nuts! And believe me folks, that's not a long drive

I read all of the eRX threads, because that's the OP I'm using right now. I'm sure other people have the same problems with different topics. I counted 10 (TEN) different threads on eRX on the General Comments Forum tonight. It's getting confusing!

What can we do about this? We need a good suggestion or fix for this.

And, as sad as this is, we even have multiple threads about how to solve the problem of duplicate/triplicate/multiple threads in the forums!!!

Seems people want to start their own thread rather than to bump up an old one. They don't look past a couple days' of threads and just start a new one.

It's one of my pet peeves, too!!!
Take Care,
Toky

I have to correct you legit..........there's 11 erxonline threads.

People just seem to refuse to read past the first two pages.
It is much easier to read and bump (as toky said) a thread than to start a new one.

It's a wide spread sickness. I think its called being LAZY!

You have hit the nail on the head. It is lazy and inconsiderate. It is the main reason I rarely come/post here anymore. The search function is there for a reason. It works quite well and people would find most of their questions have already been answered, ad nauseum.

All the duplicate threads are not from people starting new threads though.

DB is evidently pulling some posts of some threads and making new threads out of those posts. I've seen two tonight that has happened to.

When members post questions in the wrong forum, like the forum of ordering experiences, the moderator usually deletes that post and all replies to it.
(This is a good solution but upsets a lot of members)

Many times the moderator opts to move that off topic post and all replies to it to the forum for questions...
(This is also a good solution but upsets many members too)

We just do not have a perfect solution to this problem, but we are very happy to have a lively board, a board with many active members, and lots of information, and we thank all members for participating and posting.

To all members: Thank you very much for posting, and for your participation.
