I’m wondering where I can find a list of the most common questions and questions with the most answers? Before I post redundant questions that have already been asked, I thought I’d look at those.
And anyone know why is there a 30 day limit on questions? I mean, if a related answer and additional questions comes up, then asking the question again may be redundant, right?
I find using the search feature accomplishes finding the best and most answers to questions pretty useful. As far as the 30 day shut down, I too find that a bit too restrictive. But you can also link it to your new topic.
We’ve found that old topics, when responded to long after their creation (necro-posting) creates a distorted representation which is not helpful — it’s almost always best to start fresh from a current take on the situation as it is.
@Julien was putting together a list of the most useful threads:
(which now, at four years old, shows the afore-mentioned problem)
Search can work well, and if one can’t find what one is looking for, just ask — we’ll either find one or more relevant posts, or research it with you.
If there is truly a need to re-open an existing topic ask and we can look into that, but ideally, the trajectory would always be forward, and it’s usually best just to include a link to the previous discussion to frame the new one.
You will also find that certain users are often “pros” in their responses so sometimes (not too often) I add a user to my search as I know that person has probably been involved at some point (cough, cough - he’s in this thread 
)
A couple of thoughts on the 30 day closure - has there been a vote with the community? I’d venture to guess that most people would consider a question that’s only 6 months old may still be relevant and helps avoid duplicate questions.
@brew As for the most FAQ (aside from those directly related to Shapeoko), newer users often don’t know what to search for (ie they don’t know what they don’t know)!
Probably the biggest help to new users would be to watch the videos at:
and to look through:
and if need be, look up any new terms/terminology at:
