So - are you suggesting a poll should have been taken during the period of trauma before any action? That was not made clear. |

They may have never thought about it before. And as always, leding by example is the best way on the forum. --- End quote --- I'm a bit shy of doing that, I don't post often in that thread and don't want to be seen as the wise guy that's going to tell people what to do, but I guess you are right and I should have. --- End quote --- Yes, you never know when someone might be triggered by such a polite reminder. I've seen it go both ways from "oh, didn't think about that, yeah, makes sense, thanks" to rage quitting. |

--- Quote from: Specmaster on August 28, 2022, 02:25:59 pm ---So perhaps the best way to resolve the current turmoil would be to remove the sticky thread and let it return to becoming just another thread under the generic Test Equipment banner were it would become one of the other 482 threads in that section? --- End quote --- Possible. Who thinks that's a good idea? Maybe it's better to have a Sticky "Ask your general test equipment question here" thread? Although the whole idea of a forum is to have different threads for specific questions, so that's kinda counter to that. |

Fixed that mess real good ... --- Quote --- Post Settings This page of the administration center contains some settings regarding the posting of messages on your forum. Enable/Disable Settings Remove nested quotes when posting - This will only show the quote of the post in question, not any quoted posts from that post --- End quote --- --- End quote --- Ooh, I didn't know that existed. I can really see the value in that. But on the other hand there is alos value in responsible use of nested quoting, and I'd personally likely find it annoying if I didn't have that option any more. |
