    Similar Threads

    I noticed similar threads are not shown on the new forum. Will this feature be added later?

    Mark,

    I honestly don't remember using similar threads for anything. Can you describe where you found it and how it worked?

      when you clicked on and opened a thread, say on Oil, at the bottom of the page, below the last post on the page, was an area entitled Similar Threads. There would be listed 5 6 or 7 or so other threads that could date back into TDB archives that had title somewhat similar to title of the instant thread, ie, the word Oil would be in the title.. Frequently one could find the answer to his current question by reviewing older similar threads/ posts.

      Also John, when Mark posted here in Support, and when you posted, I did not get a ping that someone posted in Support.. That used to happen in the old website.. Might that be made to happen in this new one?

        I use similar threads when researching a topic. First, I'd search on "Oil" to pull up search results. Then at the bottom of each thread was a list of similar threads, many of which were not found in the initial search results.

          I took a look back at the admin section. When we first setup the new forum there were a number of things that needed to be reindexed or checked for errors etc. One of the items was clear Similar Posts. I probably should have paid more attention before deleting them. Hopefully they will rebuild as we go on. The old ones are lost though.

            Unfortunately "Related Topics" function is not available any longer and there is no mod available for "Related Topics".
