@OakleyBoss isn't a big fan of Tapatalk and has said in the past he's looking to get rid of it, so not very likely.For tapatalk users - how about a customisable timeline.

Costs money to develop which I would have no problem donating.....but then again some members donate and some don't.....some will bitch and some won't if they can or can't have the app......What ever happened to the stand alone app?

How's this suggestion?
Make the date / timestamp on posts much more prominent...
I keep noticing all these dead thread revivals where, when pointed out how old the thread is, the reviver says something like, "Oh! I didn't notice it was three years old!"
Many of us always see the stamp because we're used to reading that as part of a post. But, in their defense, for those who aren't in that habit, it is an obscure tiny little grey-text line that can be easily overlooked...
So I'll take partial responsibility for dead threads and play devil's advocate a little. The truth is, this forum has 30,000+ threads with a lot of great information, but most of it gets hidden behind irrelevant titles/descriptions. Everyone does it, including myself, we make a thread, but the title tells you absolutely nothing of what is actually being asked/shown in the thread.
Let's give an example - Let's say you create a thread where you ask about the size of Holbrook lenses, and the title may be:
"I have a question about..."
"New here, wondering about Holbrooks"
"Holbrook Question"
Now, I am not "calling" anyone out, as I said, I do this just as much as anyone else. But if you try searching google, Oakley Forum, or even pass that thread, do you have any idea that it's about the size of Holbrook lenses? No.
What I've began to do, is go back to older threads which have good content/questions and rewording the titles to reference what they are actually about. Then when a member comes to the site or google's an issue they have, they find that thread and revive it. Also if you look at the most popular threads on OakleyForum.com, they are ones where the title instantly tells you what the thread is about. I often hear members complain that they never got a reply to a thread, but when I look at it the title is "Newb here". Well to be honest, if I see that, I have no clue what it's about. It could be an introduction, a collection thread, or you asking about how to replace ear stems. Members see it and simply scroll past it, because they don't know what it's about.
Now let's go back to our original example. A better title may be: "How big are Holbrook lenses?", "Size of Holbrook Lenses?" etc.
So, this has become some what of a rant, and I hope to get some input from you guys as well. But the ultimate summarizing tip is, write relevant thread titles - if you're asking a question, give a brief summary of it.
Here are some great examples:
