Got it. Where can I find a list of all these threads?In the future consider posting something like this in Ask a Question or the Repair thread. Helps keep it all together as a resource.
The first step is to familiarize yourself with the board. Before you start a new thread, do a search to see if the topic has been covered in the past. Look at the last 4 or 5 pages to see if something on topic already has a thread devoted to it. Look at the topics covered in "Start Here, Links to Important Threads." Look at the topics covered in the Guides Section. Utilize this thread, "Ask a Question, Get an Answer." Most of the threads you start could better be asked and answered in this thread.Got it.

But the most important tip is to familiarize yourself with the Outerwear section to find the history of the section. Go back six months or a year and look at the topics discussed. When I joined back in 2006, I did just that. So, I had a good idea of what topics had been discussed and where to find them.
Because of that research, and being familiar with the past threads, I would guess that I haven't started more than ten threads in the almost 19 years I have been here.

Figures, this is probably the only forum I use atm.Different from Reddit, but generally the case for forums. I've been on here and SF for about 20 years, Superfuture is similar with years-long ongoing threads.
