A reply to the post in question on RPM puts that post at the top of the page, the original top post becomes the second post. There is no good way in either system to get the good questions that few people know the answer to remain on page 1. But, there is a better chance to get more response to a complicated question on RPM than there is on YT because it only takes one response to move it to the top. The only problem with forums such as RPM is that when there is a question that everybody and their dog "thinks" they know the answer to, along with some of the off-topic gripes, that post remains on top for days, when it was actually a very simple question to begin with, that immediately got many correct answers. I have read both forums for years, more so this one. Not because I like the format better (I don't), but because this forum covers the letter--early hundred series tractors much better than RPM. A year or so ago, Kim had some compromise in mind -- looks like it isn't going to happen anytime soon. In my opinion, this forum is "clutzy", and outdated. But, I am not going anywhere because I still like the material. One way to get more answers is to ask the question again and provide a link to the original thread so that the people who have not seen it and may have an answer can read it. I have done that with rather limited success, better than nothing. It is also a way to continue a good discussion that has moved to page 2, because some answers generate more questions, which add to the discussion.
