RE: Current update on the forum, March 5th 2026

Are we can have an "Abandoned" marking. I 've seen this done on other forums.

 in regards to the posts and marking them as solved. I edited the post and added "I am talking about several months after the post" 

Perhaps we need a new class of closure and icon: "Presumed solved" and "✓?" - thoughts anyone?

Cheerio,

But isn't it clear enough when a thread slowly sinks down the list of topics in a forum section, until it disappears to page 2?

Personally, I consider the existing choice of status icons excessive already. I find them rather distracting and can never remember what they mean anyway, especially the first four:

Anything not on the page 1 is a graveyard, this is a common issue with the forums.

I suggest not to mark topics as solved ( as people stated in the thread why), but reviewing the posts especially the ones without the answers should help in general. But tat may lead to some necro posting, so don't push it.

I think major struggle should be moving topics and reminding people when they derail the thread 😉

That requires more moderators. Of whom are actively participating.

Who cares about the forums?

I just wish Prusa would fix the firmware issues with MK4S.  Version 6.4.0 pretty much bricked a lot of printers in November (unless they’re reverted to 6.2.6).  I bought it new only about a year ago, but support has really lapsed since the intro of the core-xy models and (still non-existent) indx “cocaine”.

Please keep on topic?

Some thoughts from my side:

Please think about moving posts to the correct sub-forum in case they are posted in the wrong one...eg posts for "Core One/+" in the "Core One L" sub-forum...thx.

RE:

Something I'd like to see:  if you're changing the forum software, could it incorporate a "favorites" or "watching" system for all levels (sections, topics, whatever you call each level) so that you can see a "filtered" list of all items and just scan what you're interested in?  There's just so many different areas that I don't think re-organizing will provide enough benefit in terms of efficiently scanning for items of interest.

Also, other forums I read allow you to start reading at the first unread post, rather than always jumping to the last item and scanning back to see what you missed.  Unless it's just my browser that's doing this...  🙂
