We need a moderator to lock duplicate posts

[LMGildersleeve]

It's unbelievable how many "me too" posts are generated in the Tech forum. We need someone to lock all but the original post. Usually someone from Z has acknowledge the issue on the first post. But members don't seem to look for duplicate threads of the same problem and start another. Even writing on those duplicate threads with links to the original does nothing to deter other's from adding their "me too" posts.

If a moderator would lock those duplicate posts the original posts wouldn't be pushed to the bottom.

We're doing our best to ensure that there aren't duplicate conversations in the Tech forum, but there's only so much that we can do at any point in time. If you see a duplicate conversation feel free to link to the original discussion so that people can move over to the original conversation.

I think what's needed is a better way for people to see conversations that are in progress. Currently, the only way to find them is by searching which I seem to have horrible luck with - plus you have to either know how to get to this page (Creators | Zazzle Community) which is not obvious, or you have to search each board individually. I suppose you could also scan through each board individually to look for duplicates or scroll forever on the main forum page.

I'm sure that the options are limited with this new forum software, but I really miss the old forum where you could see at a glance all of the current conversations with highlights to tell you which ones had comments that you hadn't yet read. It was soooo much easier to keep track of things that way.

Understood Scott and we tried that. But people keeping adding their "me too" comments pushing the original post down.

People adding "me too" doesn't bother me in the slightest. I'm puzzled why it would be an issue. I noticed someone getting upset about it in another thread. Honestly, life's too short.
