I wonder if whoever 'manages' this forum could generate a pop up window whenever anyone clicks 'start a discussion' to prompt them to see if that subject is already active.
There are sooooo many new threads started for already active subjects it might help folks find an answer more quickly and it might cut down on the number of unnecessary new threads.

It would be lovely wouldn’t it. The ‘I have got a new router and my wifi doesn’t work’ one is always a firm fan favourite

Move Predbat to it's own forum would remove a lot of clutter ...

There is a beta forum which is a lot better structured. Quite when the change over will happen I’ve no idea, it’s been in beta ages.

Or people just think and do a search for the subject before starting a new discussion
