One possible issue is that we tend to discuss general interest topics, both Zero-related and non-Zero-related on this subforum.. combined, this subforum and the 2013 subforum have 20x as many posts as the next most active subforum. That's a lot of posts to lump into a single subforum.

I would actually suggest creating a top-level Zero forum, and then split the Zero subforums into at least 4 sections: 2011 and earlier, 2012, 2013, general Zero. Looking at the entire forum stats, there was a huge uptick in posting in Jan/Feb 2012. You get one guess as to what event prompted that surge of activity. The 2011 and earlier posts tend to be buried under 2012 and general discussion.

I want to hear about all the Zero info; and I don't want it to be difficult to navigate around.
I suppose I can set up multiple browser tabs, each resting in the various Zero forums/sub-forums, that seems reasonable.

Is there a way with this board for a user to "merge" multiple forums into a single view?

[protomech]

I've started accessing the board by the following URL:
http://electricmotorcycleforum.com/boards/index.php?action=unread

This shows all unread forum posts. Sometimes this will pull up messages unrelated to the Zeros, but the Zero activity here dominates everything else. You can open each unread message thread in a new tab to proceed, then click 'mark all messages read' when done.

hmm, let me experiment with a few options and come back...

[skadamo]

Bear with me while I propose a few ideas to address these concerns.

Solution #1:
Do any of you use an RSS reader such as http://www.google.com/reader ?

If so, subscribe to this…
http://electricmotorcycleforum.com/boards/index.php?action=.xml;sa=recent;boards=6,35;type=rss2

This will list all the posts in the 2012 and the 2013 Zero boards.

RSS is pretty powerful these forums. Check this out for more options…

I will look for some more solutions in addition to this…

Huh?

BTW - Since I have a 2010 DS, a 2012 DS, and will soon have a 2013 FX, I will still be interested in all of those years.

[skadamo]

OK, or there is this idea. I created a page that has a list of all the posts from both boards....
http://electricmotorcycleforum.com/boards/Zero-Motorcycles-Posts.php

I could link to it from the home page. You could bookmark it. I could put it in the nav menu.

Any better?

Sorry Skadamo,

I didn't consider it will make so much issues, next time I will be more cautious 

[skadamo]

@BSDThw haha no problem. This is great feedback and we can see where it goes.

Well, you have to admit, the EMF is turning into more of a Zero forum than about any other model.  The Brammo Owners Forum gets the Brammo posts and if there is anyone owning any other electric motorcycle around, they aren't posting much on the other brand sub-forums.  Sort of makes you wonder where we are going.  Right now it seems to me like we are going to Zero land.     What will the future bring?   

[trikester]

A List of all Zero Motorcycles posts form all boards

Ah, but you typo'd "from". tsh, tsh.

Damn it. That will teach me to publish without a Brammofan proof read.

[skadamo]

@Richard230 yeah lots of Zero posts which is a good problem to have.
