Still getting startup crash after opening 2016 Pro

Hi and yes, well that was my point; to bring attention to it, and it only came to your attention when it was added to the top of the current latest topics which is not what I mean… I am asking about the search, not the latest topics list.

The point of my question still stands - why is a thread like this still live when other threads are closed and people still want to use them. I know there are filters thank you, but again, its from 2016 and is live and totally useless and I’ve often come upon such ancient threads as this in a google search.
[edit] if this thread were removed it hopefully would get removed from google too eventually - which is part of my reasoning - to improve the search results for sketchup’s relevant answers in google

Is there a way to vote or request a thread is closed for uselessness?

The forum has a dedicated Meta category for forum issues.

Closed is a different concept than removal (which I would vote against.) I do not use Google to search the forum I use the forum’s more accurate search features.
