Thanks Chris and Tony!
As far as the forum organization goes, I am still learning the ropes here but I have about 7 different forums I belong too. Mostly hobby/work based. Each has its own ecosystem so to speak.
Some online forums like a new topic for every question and others like you to maintain all your problems to one specific thread and anyone who wants to pay attention will.
I personally like to keep my posts to a specific thread as you suggest but I was trying to follow what I thought was logical given the forum subtopics.
