Sausage Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Looking at some of the archive threads they are useful but often missing pictures and incomplete.I was just reading a guide on cambelt change on lupo 1.0,http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?/topic/89324-lupo-cambelt-change-10/he did a good job but lost interest and rushed the finish so forgot to say the important part of how to tension the belt. I was intending to post how to do that part but cant. So what now i have to repost a new version of the archived thread just to add that part in?I'm not sure why they ended up in archive maybe it was a forum reboot or move, but it's a bit of a mess like it is.

MattyB Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 The archive was meant to be a place where DIY/Guide threads were moved to so they could be more relevant. Replies were locked down originally to stop topics getting de-railed and keep discussions back in the relevant forum.Also, alot of the topics are old, and many images were self hosted so sometimes don't exist anymore. Originally I creaked a Wiki, to start moving stuff across but keeping it up-to-date was more difficult.I agree it is a bit of a mess, but was the easiest/most dynamic way of keeping stuff relevant at the time.

Skezza Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 A wiki would be a great idea Matty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skezza Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Do I....do I hear a volunteer? Well I would happily help run it. I don't think it would take more than an hour or two to port over the old articles. I've always felt the only other good way of doing it would be to maybe categorize them better i.e.CosmeticElectricalMechanicaletc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
