Technical The importance of updating a thread

[koalar]

The power of this forum

Is it gathers all the information for a perticular car in one place

In this case the Panda 169

All feedback adds to the collective knowledge, we start to see trends, which helps everyone, even the fails help to diagnose better.

I know it can take time to source parts and find the time to fit the part

But it only takes a few minutes to log on and say that didn't help or that fixed the problem

As an example here a dualogic error code P2930 as come up again and again for several years, all these threads are dead ends, and some these threads have others saying they have the same fault. Even if it's bad news. Without any feedback all there is no information gained

The only update they'll get is several year later someone will join and ask how they fixed it, then never post again because they got no reply.

It's a problem with all forums I've seen, very few will come back and update the problem.

Correct

If you look some of the new poster profiles. They join because they have a problem. So join and post a problem on the same day

And

Don't log in again after the first few replies

Which is a shame as without any feedback whether they fix the problem is lost.

Even if it's a fail to fix its still important as in future we know that solution does not alway work.

A lot find a correct solution by reading the forum without any need to posting or leaving any feedback

Some kind of tally system would be nice

Not sure how it could be implicated

Something like if reading a thread and the correct solution is found without having to post they could tick a box similar to the like button

Then if several possible solution are given in a thread we know which works the most often.

This is how the new question type works (although I had it set so only the thread starter could mark the solution)

New Feature - New Thread Type: Question Threads (with Solutions)

After the world's shortest poll (I got impatient) - I've now enabled the "Question" type thread in all the model forums. What is a question thread you might ask? Well put simply, it is a thread where only one reply can be marked as a solution (generally it's going to be a technical question)...

We could turn on the voting for everyone - but we still need people to actually use that post type :s
