Let us conclude our threads!

Post by shift_down »

Hey Guys!

How many times have you all searched for something, and found it; but ended up not finding a solution, due to the thread never ending with a conclusion?
I know the answer is somewhere between 83875986359 and 3275382503975405 times. Well lets start a new trend that will help us all, and everyone else that comes after us who are looking for answers. What do you guys say?

Here is my proposal:
EVERY TIME we start a thread asking for help or needing a solution, we MUST conclude that thread. Let us not leave any thread without a conclusion. And once we find an answer to our problem, let us edit the first post, and write something like "EDIT: Problem solved. The problem was this, this, and this; and It originated by this; and I solved it by doing this."


Let's hear what you guys have to say.

I think this would help a lot of people,especially new people and to those finally getting turbo after months/years of hard work building a car and working out the bugs.I remember when I was new to things I did a lot of searching and reading similar problems thinking I was gonna get a solution but then disappointed when it was never stated what actually fixed the issue.
New turbo setup build in progress-11mm headstuds/cometic head gasket/jwt cam gears added,prec. 6266,gato mani,prec.46mm wg,bigger fmic,mspnp2,z32 trans,spec twin,q45 rear,full energy bushings. Still need injectors,and a few other small things

Old setup-ka24de-wiseco 9:1 pistons,eagle rods,arp studs,jwt s1 cams,brian crower springs and retainers,jgs log mani,t3 57trim .63 a/r,tomei 740cc,38mm turbonetics evolution wastegate,synapse bov,ebay fmic,nistune,j30 lsd.5 speed swap,z32 brakes F&R.

Perhaps something where the OP can choose the thread is 'SOLVED' similar to how you can be notified if replies are posted? Then the topic could be branded/marked as SOLVED?

Ahhh, this is a good idea. But the op needs also to state how it was solves in his original post.

I did this a few times when solving issues, adding [Solved] in the post subject with the solution. This can help a lot.

Yep. There's a way to add a mod in the software so it's selectable by the op.

Awesome Idea! And also awesome that can be implemented.

As long as the people aren't too embarrassed of what the problem really was. ;)
