New old threads who cares

[Smashy71]

I see a lot of repeats and I don’t care if they are. Let’s just be good dudes and dudetts and help out who ever needs help. It’s just a forum and if it’s a repeat who cares and just give good advise or first hand knowledge on the problem.

Often think the same thing.

Not sure who's worse, search button guys or spelling police.

I hope you searched to see if there was already a thread on this topic before you created the post!

I agree and disagree at the same time. The more crowded the forums get with duplicate posts, the harder it is to find the information. HOWEVER, I think everyone should be on their scouts honor, and if you KNOW where the post is that the OP is looking for, just link it up! That way 3 seconds from now when someone has the same question and they find the duplicate post, they'll be directed to the link first, and won't make yet another thread.

I don’t know how many mods are involved on this site but if they could merge the repetitive posts it would be a nice help.

Well yah know it is a double edged sword.

You post a topic without searching, people get on them for not searching.
You search and find something and post in that thread.... what happens?

People get on them for bumping an old topic

You really can't win.

Agreed! And even if you search, a lot of times if you don't use the perfect wording it wont pull up what you are looking for!
