Just a thought.....
I realize I'm new here and haven't completely gotten the hang of things, but in my two weeks here I've definitely come to the conclusion that there are a ton of repeat threads. (tire threads, first time bikes, newbie questions, etc.)
I've been the member of a few different forums and have found that the search engine in this forum is somewhat difficult to use. The wording needs to be specific and such. But I have an idea that might save us from the repeated questions. If we were to have sub-topics under the MTB folder for Tire discussions, Newbie Questions, Brakes, Forks... then the interested person could go to that section and have more success at answering their question w/o repeating the thread from last week.
I'm not trying to critique the designer of this forum, just offering a suggestion.
