Repetitive posts...
Is there a way to "hide" posts from some posters? It seems a lot of the noobs continually post for every little thing. For example how many posts do we need about tires, or wipers? I would just rather not see so many posts about the same thing over and over. I like to help, but this is crazy!

I urge folks to see it from the newb’s perspective...no historical background of threads of the past. Someone probably helped you in the past so now you have the opportunity to give back.
Enjoy the fact that your knowledge and experience will get a new Ex owner to enjoy their ownership of these beasts.

Helping others is the best part of the forum, but if someone comes on here and can't even use a tape measure or read a label, then we should not be advising them on how to do their own repairs.
It almost feels like a troll, sometimes, but who knows.

Used to be you could search specific subforums and get actually relevant results, but now it's basically trash. better off google searching "search term site:www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum29" to get excursion specific answers.
The cynic in me thinks they nerfed it on purpose to generate more site traffic for ad revenue, irrespective of the fact that the *quality traffic* was going down. Adspace doesnt care about whether this is the 50th click for the same noob topic, just that there's 50 clicks.

So the latest update from vBulletin or whoever makes forum architecture really nerfed the search function. across all the boards I'm on, the number of "I searched and couldn't find an answer" posts went through the roof, and the number of nooooob questions getting their own threads went up too.
