I'm seeing a pattern that has developed here. And it's my fault. I haven't guided you guys. But I will as soon as I have a mo'! My to do list keeps nearly ending, and then I have half a dozen urgent things added. No point in me screwing up all forums with customisations. Once I have it right on one, it's quicker then to just copy them all over once perfect.
Anyway - What I'm noticing is the Original Poster (OP) of a thread is asking a question. And they're kinda getting their answer amongst waffle.
So we need to treat threads as forum threads, and not as facebook posts. Where nothing is in order.
So any reply, has to be to the OP. And not each other within the thread. Which ends up taking it off-topic and just causes arguments to develop amongst members.
As staff, you guys need to just reply to a member that's taking it off-topic with a simple 'Please keep threads on topic and respond to the Thread Starter' kinda thing. Rather than replying and taking the bait other members might put out there.
Does that make sense?
