Why don't members and vendors use indexing for their larger threads? I can't count how many time's I'm looking for something relevant and I'm busy going through 20+ pages just to find it. I think indexing relevant updates and progress will help immensly. BP's thread, F.I.'s exhaust and turbo thread, everyones build threads. It would be so easy to just click a link on the first page. Just my 2 cents. It's simple and organized. Threads are hard to structure because they are so fluid, I feel this is a good logical way to work around it.
