Not too long ago, there was an important suggestion to enable message thread with newly posted reply to float to the top. Obviously, an interesting topic can span several pages but this would be a time saver for general researchers and less confusing to begineers. Fresh ideas whenever they become available can always be added to the message thread to maintain its relevancy.

Under the present format, if you look for a particular subject, you get several message threads with duplicate discussions. Then the discussion sort of ended no matter how useful the subject matter is when the descriptive title fell off the edge. Later on, when when somebody wants to reopen the discussion they usually do so with new descriptive title and the continuation of train-of-thoughts so to speak is lost .
