is it me or is has the search feature hasn't been used before starting a topic..
posting a topic with another same thread makes the forums more messy. i think we should have warnings for this. i can understand if it's your first mistake, but you'd probably be using the search now before posting a new topic (or at least i do). if consistency continues, warn them prz. |

I know, but some members don't search before posting.

It's not really that big of a deal, just ask a mod to either close or merge the topic. If we start being anal about it, people will either stop posting threads or start complaining about mods abusing their power and then go on a spamfest.

QUOTE(ArjunaCapulong @ Mar 15 2009, 03:10 PM) well, I guess it's great for spamming mods' inboxes To this day, I've only received a few. But yeah, I appreciate the concern for the lack of searching, but the best thing to do is point out the thread(s). Making a feedback topic regarding members' inability to search for something isn't going to be terribly fruitful. |

I dont like the search. You can only enter one word and it has to be longer then 4 letters and it searches the content not titles. Finding threads is a real on this site. If something is in new posts and its not the next day i dont know where to go to find it.

We should form a committee to discuss what can be done about members' failures to use the search feature!

If the title is short, then use a word from a post from that thread that is has four letters, and you're all set. ;D |

Yeah you're completely not utilizing the search function to its fullest.
Forums --> Advanced Search From there you can search with multiple words, search in the topic title or the entire post, or in a specific subforum...etc. But it still has to be over 3 letters. |

LOL, yes, there is an advanced search. If you're that bothered by people making a topic that has already recently been made, then just post in that topic that there's already one on cb and a mod will merge them.
