[wp-forums] suggestion for Wordpress forums

[Dylan Kinnett]

In keeping with the "search first" guideline, it may help to be able to
flag, or otherwise update any old forum threads, which may have become
incorrect over time. Here is just one recent example from my own experience.

Let's say you want to regenerate your post thumbnails. You search, and one
of the first things you find is this thread:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/rebuild-thumbnails-1?replies=3

It says "WordPress does not currently give you an easy way to do this" and
mentions one method from about five years ago, with no reference to a
plugin like the handy "regenerate
thumbnails<http://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/>"
plugin.

Older plugin pages carry a warning about their age. Would it be possible to
add something like that to older forum threads, perhaps along with a way to
down-rank the item in a search? Features like that might go a long way to
reward users for following the "search first" guideline.

Just a suggestion :)
