Ls400 Forum Rant and Suggestion......
Why in the world is this forum not seperated in to Models, 1st Gen, 2nd Gen and so on????? The search feature sucks in the LS forum as more then half the threads I have to weed through are for the first gen. Its much much easier to search in other parts of CL. The LS400 forum needs to be split up if people really expect us to use the search feature or we should atleast start putting our Gen in the title. Maybe...... UCF20: Title Goes Here.... Thoughts?

Yes I understand that but even the year thing makes it hard. You have to search every year model and you still might not find what you are looking for. Since there are only 2.5 Gens of the Ls400 and 10 years of the LS400. Take a look at the GS forum. It is set up by Gens and search feature is much easier. Plus having more people use the search feature in here will help clean up the forum and keep constant repost help threads to a minimum.

The unfortunate fact is that those other forums were created new when the new model versions came out. Separating the old LS400 posts into the right (new) sub-forum would be an extremely manual and massive effort and for many posts, impossible to guess.
Using the title is a great idea - if someone will do a brief writeup on how you think they should be labeled (and other folks agree) we can make that a sticky at top of this forum.

The current lineup is generally defined as 1) cars 2) LUVs
and by vehicle size/target
1) sport-oriented
2) luxury-oriented
3) LUV size
The sport oriented cars (IS, GS and SC) also have a much larger and more active membership group and listing them at the top of the forum takes that into account. Sorry it's not your model at the top, but it makes the most sense for CL overall.

I may look into adding a 'prefix' kinda like we do in the classifieds for the state location though... hmmm. It wouldn't be there for the old posts but could for the new ones. Will think on that.

Thank for taking this into consideration Dave, If there is anything I can do to assist you I am more then happy to help. I understand that task at hand to split this section up but really like the idea of adding our Gen to title like the classifieds. Yes we will still have the newbies that dont read the stickys and still get the reposts but it will make search feature from here on out so much easier and help clean up this forum in due time. Thanks for Listening!

Why not make the subforums keep the old forums like Schnitz said then take the important posts that mean something and transfer them over (most posts that are important are linked in stickied threads) then once everyone has moved over to the subforums we just archive the old ones... It would look sorta like the SC300/400 forum at first with the 2 sub forums at the top and then the combined posts down below...
also damn the new members if they aren't smart enough to understand don't make us all suffer, dumbing down to the lowest common denominator is why our schools and government are so screwed don't put that into our forums too!
