What happened to our "Ordering Information" forum threads?

I’ve been away for only 1 week, and came back to complete anarchy . Obviously, someone’s been stirring.

What happened to our "Ordering Information" forum threads? I see we now have a new category for "2008-Up Super Duties" à "'08-Up Ordering Information" (was "1999-Up Super Duties" à "Ordering Information").

Most, or all, of the threads less than 1 year old in the old "1999-Up Super Duties" à "Ordering Information" category dealt with the 2008 model year. Why weren’t they dragged across when the new category was created? Woulda made more sense to me.

All the old threads are still under the "old" Ordering Info forum, which is now under '99-'07 SuperDuties.

They definitely need the Ordering Info forum under the 2008 category. But I think they probably should have moved the entire old forum to under the 2008 banner instead of creating a brand new forum from scratch. Yes, there is over a year's worth of 2008 ordering info in the old Ordering Info forum.

I suggested they move the stickies from the old forum to the new, but on second thought they should just move the whole forum. After all, there will be no more "ordering info" posted to the old forum - it would be off topic.

The dust hasn't settled yet. Maybe that's another fix they'll get done soon

It's pretty silly the "Ordering Information" got stuck in the 99-07 section. The dealer certainly can't order you an 07 truck.

So what's the deal Ol Forder? Did you get that shiny new truck yet? If not, it must be close!!

I guess that's why I'm so disgruntled. My truck was put on a train from Kentucky on Jan 8, but only arrived at the distribution center in Houston, Texas today (Jan 18). I guess the train had a stop in Bangladesh. Anyway, it's due to the dealership on Monday and I expect delivery middle next week .

I'm just hoping they didn't drive it from the distribution center to the dealer today. The weather has been terrible all day, and knowing my luck, I'll get the 19 year old driver that hosted a beer-kegger bachelor party 'til 4:00am last night.

I have made the suggestion to the Admins to move basically 30 pages of threads since the Jan-Feb 07 time frame in the old ordering forum to the new forum. I am waiting to hear back.

Agree. I mean, you wouldn't want it out driving around in a storm. It might get
