If you think some of us have been at this for too long, I couldn't agree more. It's a little disheartening when one realizes one has to keep explaining the same rudimentary things to the same group of people year in and year out. That said, here we go again.
One thread with a hundred replies and thousands of views will
always,
always,
always get more attention than a hundred threads with a single reply and only a handful of views.
Always.
It's an axiomatic truth of this forum and always has been. Did you know that Dan himself has posted on the forums a few times? He has, and the threads in which he, the head of Turn 10, posted in all shared one thing in common, hundreds of replies and thousands of views.
As I type this, the post at the very bottom of this first page had its last reply less than four hours ago. If it doesn't get a reply here shortly, it will fall off the front page and slip rapidly into obscurity. This is the fate that awaits every single low-reply, low-view thread about the same subject over and over. A brief flicker in the sunlight and then rapid plunge into obscurity.
Want to make sure your issue gets seen?
1. Use the wish lists for requests
2. File a ticket in the new support system for bugs/problems.
3. Quit diluting your efforts and instead consolidate them in far fewer repetitive threads so you get more replies, get more views and stay more relevant.
Merging, contrary to your misconception, actually helps your cause.
Believe me or not but if you think I've been at this too long, does it not also stand to reason that in being here too long I've learned a thing or two about how these forums work and the developer's relationship to them?
