Bibs 11,142 Posted November 27, 2020 Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 There's an option to change the tech forums to Q&A formatted forums, I've experimented with the Evora ones for now and you can see an example of a Q&A topic here... An answer from anywhere in the thread can be voted up or down or marked as the correct answer. In that topic, my post has been ticked as correct so is now the first reply and 122's (sorry!) earlier post has been marked down as an answer as it was incorrect so now goes to the bottom of the thread. If this is better for everyone, I can change all the tech forums to this format. It is reversible! Thoughts please?

Gold FFM RobinB5 253 Posted November 27, 2020 Gold FFM Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 If each response was independent, then ranking them based on number of votes makes sense. However that ranking would remove any sequential discussion type responses where a post is in response to a previous post. It would get somewhat confusing quite quickly. Can the order of responses be chronological but still show the number of votes? Is there a user option to rank either chronologically or by votes? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bibs 11,142 Posted November 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 There's an option to change the topics to 'by date' rather than by answer but I don't think there's an option to make that the default...

exeterjeep 68 Posted November 27, 2020 Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 Thought something was wrong with my pc this morning, downloaded some updates to the browser - tried a different browser ... the new format eg https://www.thelotusforums.com/forums/forum/196-engine-ancilliariesgearbox/ you cannot see the last user to update a topic or when . also the topis are more spaced out. Cant see this as an improvement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Bibs 11,142 Posted November 27, 2020 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 Fair point, that does make it pretty useless! Shame that the Q&A functionality can't be used in normal topics - there is an option to mark a topic as 'solved' by either a mod or the OP indicating the correct and best answer, I'll give that a whirl! 3 Quote 88 Esprit NA, 89 Esprit Turbo SE, Evora, Evora S, Evora IPS, Evora S IPS, Evora S IPS SR, Evora 400, Elise S1, Elise S1 111s, Evora GT410 Sport Evora NA For forum issues, please contact the Moderators.

Mysterae 247 Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 There's so much excellent information in these forums that can get drowned out and lost sometimes, I can see why you'd want such a system. Quote Signature not working... Link to post Share on other sites

I really like this so have enabled it on all tech forums 1 Quote 88 Esprit NA, 89 Esprit Turbo SE, Evora, Evora S, Evora IPS, Evora S IPS, Evora S IPS SR, Evora 400, Elise S1, Elise S1 111s, Evora GT410 Sport Evora NA For forum issues, please contact the Moderators.
