This might be getting beyond the scope of the forum but there are two problems that I have found with forums in general (and by no means are these a criticism of them, or of this one in particular):
1. A lot of different people ask the same questions over and over.
2. There is some seriously useful information buried in amongst all the posts but it is often either hard to find or hard to sort the wheat from the chaff.
Take the recent thread on adjusting the saw in a Triton Workcentre. Amongst the various requests for help and the 'thankyou's, there are some excellent tips for dealing with this problem. But the thread runs to some 5 pages and it takes a lot of reading to get to the really useful bits.
The first thing that crossed my mind was that all of this will disappear into posterity and someone will pop up with the same question in a few days/weeks/months. If anyone can remember the thread, they'll put a link to it in reply, but then that person will have to read through all 4-5 pages again. Of course visitors with a bit of initiative will do a keyword search first and probably find it and several other threads.
I've seen two solutions to this problem. The first is to create an FAQ. This requires an editor to go through the threads and write a response to the commonly asked questions. That's a big job but I reckon worth doing if there are enough people with the time and inclination to tackle it.
The second is to create a searchable index of certain threads selected for their general applicability. The idea is to edit the thread and remove all of the usual commentary that goes on in a forum, just leaving the original question and selected replies. The idea is not to imply that some contributions are more worthy than others, but just to condense it down to the replies that perhaps best summarise the suggestions or steps to solving a problem etc.
I don't know how any of this would work with regard to this forum and the software that is being used, but it is an idea and I wondered if anyone has any comments to make etc.
