The search engine could use an upgrade no doubt. But another problem I faced (am still somewhat new myself) is that I get lost in a post with hundreds and hundreds of posts within it. So even if someone is lucky enough to land on the proper thread they might also be faced with a few days of reading material within it. Easier to just ask the question again.

Also, I've seen many forums die once all the topics have been covered. So keeping the pages active is important.

And what I would REALLY like to see is an F150forum app!!!!

I hate to see folks throw "do the search" rocks at a newbie.
Exactly....a case could be made that all posts are repeated posts to some degree or another.

I'm pretty sure you can use the "Garage Talk" app to access this site.
