See the bars above the topics? One of them has a title called Search. Use that to SEARCH for threads and posts...

Or try this link, if you cant find it

Search vBulletin help!

Just kidding

The Search function on the forums can be found along the top of the forum index

Search Option 1: Forum wide search, the most common option

Search Option 2: Thread search. Used to find required posts within a certain thread.

Huhuhu.

Btw, sorry we've been a little rude in your other thread. At least we tried to answer with some touch of humour

You may also what to go through the sticky thread (those on top of each forum pages). They contain lots of useful information (such as how to search), hints and tips for reporting issues or suggestions, guidelines, rules, known issues and already suggested features.

Just to inform you all, I'll currently working on a Stickied superthread, that will mean there's only one sticky for people to read, and it's plain and simple to read.

Basically a merged thread with all 3 stickies combined.

Go figure that when writing text in MS Paint, Vikingo writes in cursive while everyone else on the face of the planet prints.

Whats the search function?

IMO, something thats suggested to people often in the wrong situation.

Is it me, or does the PR community feel that once a topic is discussion by 10-20 people 10 different times, that it cant be discussed in a new light again?..

Prove me wrong.

They end up with the same conclusion.

After every release the suggestion section, when the 13 year olds find the forums, it gets clogged up with "Fastropes", "SpecopS", "F117".

Most do, yea.

But in my opinion stopping fresh discussions with 'search' will halt the slight possibility that someone who hasn't discussed it freshly before will come up with something decent?

Yes, but when I (or anyone else) can tell them exactly how the thread will end, with a couple of links on the same topic, it just seems so...pointless.

E.g. "Training for Noobs threads". There atleast 3 or 4 created everytime when a new release comes out, yet nothing is done. The solution is always to wait a few days or weeks until the "noobs" leave and ind another game or settle down.

bigmoose332 · Post by **bigmoose332** » 2007-07-20 17:49

nah, i dont agree you or anyone else can predict 100% all the time how a discussion will end. not 100% of the time.

I mean you all may be right 9 out of 10 times, but for something i think is so important, i dont think its worth the chance to just halt a discussion like that.

Dont ya think?

Yeah but Vikingo you are usually one of the first 5 people that comes into contact with new forum users after they put down a post. Needless to say, at times, you are indeed quite the ****\Smartass; albiet wonderfully talented at it. Though this probably isn't the welcome they SHOULD be getting. I understand your irritation, as you see Fast Roping **** ALL the time. It's possible that giving new\er posters some grace would probably be a good thing.

El_Vikingo · Post by **El_Vikingo** » 2007-07-20 17:55

I'll give it a try.

Gaz · Post by **Gaz** » 2007-07-20 17:57

I think we should ban El Vikingo from replying to threads and posts made by users with less than 20 posts
