Identical thread topics?

So there are currently not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5 -- no 6 (six!!!) threads on the NAF board about online recipe organization.

I can only assume that people are either blind or think the more threads on one topic, the better.

Wouldn't it maybe make sense to merge all those into one single thread? Gather all the exciting information in one place?

Kinda like an online thread organizer?

    We don't have the ability to merge threads. It's not a feature our software has.

    If two threads on the same article or very related subject get started at the same time, and one has lower participation than the other, we'll often lock one in deference to the other, but that's our only available option.

    The online recipe organization threads are of varying ages, and have just recently been bumped by new posts. That sometimes happens when people search for a topic and then respond in a few different threads about it.

        What's amazing is that they are basically all beneath each other. Impossible to miss.

        Or perhaps not...
