NEWBIES - Look Here!

[mattj 5,000+ posts]

Ive seen a lot of this pop up so im trying to get some light on the subject.

A lot of you post questions that were asked a week ago by another member. Ive seen people 'snap' back at people for this but im just trying to save people time by simply telling them to use the search button. 95% of the newbie questions asked and even some of the higher ranked (50-100) users ask some of these too. im not trying to be an ******* here..im just trying to lend a helping hand on a quicker answer to whatever problem/question that some of you might have.

mabye its not visible enough or its not easily spoted. perhaps the admin could change the button color or highlight it or something or make the text bold or something to show that there infact, IS a search button to find out the answers to their questions.

I posted that one and got told to **** off for it. I figure that means it's pretty good. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

the only problem i've seen w/ searching, is when people do search, they get shit for waking up an old thread..

I think searching is a good idea, but that's the only problem i've seen w/ it.

Mods will clean up all the repeat threads...close them and link the people to a thread answering their questions.
