Feedback (long post): people need to utilise the search option more
Tue, 18 February 2003 21:55
Over the years there have been many questions that have been asked over and over, now i know this wasnt much trouble a little while ago when we switched to new msg boards twice but these forums have been running for about a year now and collected alot of information.
what im trying to say is would it be possible to put up a sticky post in each section asking the user to search the forums before they ask a question?
im sick and tired of seeing the same questions asked, and the problem with this is that most of the guys who have experience and can give the best advice dont seem to want to answer these redundant questions anymore.
this leaves it open for bad or mis-informed advice to be posted by people who are just going on about what they have heard (yes that includes advice ive given as well).
another thing that might be good to stop redundant posts is to get some of these threads turned into tech articles, now i know all you guys are busy and just dont have time, but if it is a matter of just cutting and pasting from the forums what about asking some of the members who are uni students to do this. When i was at uni i had a shite load of spare time on the holidays cause i hardly had any money to do anything. Perhaps toymods could offer a free keyring or mug to someone who has spent a few days searching the forums and copying any good advice or stuff that is worthy of a tech article (just like trevors RWD 3S-GTE post).
so just to recap:
so hows about a sticky post asking people to search the forums before they post?
AND
how about one of you uni students do a little homework for toymods, they might make it worth your while?
