|  Tip of the Year: How to search before posting a (repeat) thread
Please Login to Remove! There's a link near the top of the screen labeled "SEARCH," for those of you who don't seem to know...
It's amazing how many people post questions that have been answered already in the forum. Now I'm starting to see why people get so annoyed by people who don't search before they post a thread. Especially when that thread was JUST up a day or two prior.
If I sound like I'm whining....I AM!! | | Offline

Wow and they say I am grumpy.. Your not the first to and certainly wont be the last to go off on a rant about this. You might as well get over it because as long as I have been here it hasnt gotten any better.
And with the release of more consumer based products it will only get worse | | Offline

But thank you for cheering me up! | As long as we're RANTING, did you know typing in ALL CAPS is considered YELLING and is very ANNOYING? Almost as bad as using IM-speak.
do u no wut i mean?
Yeahhhh.....search button. Cool. It's there, mocking us. Sometimes I think the search button should just take you right to the FAQ page.

Except the search function doesn't really work that well. Some times I've search all day for something and only found posts from other people asking what I want to, and getting YELLED at by the BB Elite. Makes this such a pleasant place to hang out in I only come here as a last resort. | | Offline

The search feature does work its all in how you put things | | Offline

I personally would read through the multple posts to get the answer than add another thread for future users to have to read through when doing a search. | | Offline

I bite my tongue on alot of stuff like that. Threads tend to get off topic rather quickly once someone becomes defensive. Although, sometimes they need to be kept in line! | | Offline
