Evil Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 what about a Bold bright red search button? hey it might help lol
SM xenex Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 Ye defenetli since you guys are making a new design for the site, maybe do something about the search button, make it really stad outkinda like this [SEARCH]
NBS|Imperial Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 There could also be a text that describes what the search button is used for and when it's supposed to be used. e.g.: PLEASE USE THE SEARCH BUTTON BEFORE ASKING DUMB QUESTIONS SO THAT YOU WILL FEEL A LITTE LESS DUMBER WHEN YOU ASK SOMETHING THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN ANSWERED.
Evil Posted October 6, 2003 Author Posted October 6, 2003 how about when you click on the New Tread button it takes you to a page that tell to use search before a post but make the search in red and HUGE hehe
me Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 Or perhaps when you first login. A big message pops up saying how badly you will be flamed if it's already been posted
SM xenex Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 No, because then we would have to answer the question 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times and they would still ask, search and youl find the answer its not hard most of the time.
RobZGod Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 No, because then we would have to answer the question 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times and they would still ask, search and youl find the answer its not hard most of the time. Put yourself in a newbies shoes. Some smelly, sweaty nooby boots. Now imagine you come to the forum... You need to know, erm, i dunno, where can i download file x. So you do a search for it, and loads of crap comes up. You dont understand! You need a straight awnser. So you go ask, where can i find file X. Now all these old codgers come along and say 'Do a forum search sonny jim!'. You just want an awnser! Get me?
Ransom Posted October 12, 2003 Posted October 12, 2003 Exactly Rob. To many damn people on their high horses. *But some are little :Oing n00bs/lamers and deserve to die

Get me? when i first jumped into the mta boards i did some quick searches to learn how to get inside the game with everything i needed and i had no problems finding my answers. sure it took me allmost 40minutes to get all setup but sure as hell saved me from getting flamed
RobZGod Posted October 12, 2003 Posted October 12, 2003 Mr evil, we shall soon catch up with your flaming :t::l: ':c::0::0::e:' :0: :0: RTFM! There, youve been flamed. Not very well mind you, but im just kind
me Posted October 13, 2003 Posted October 13, 2003 Ya, I usually try and answer a newbie's questions... I will never lock a topic! Never! Even when it gets as stupid as this one
DMH_MACIO Posted November 4, 2003 Posted November 4, 2003 Just don't allow noobs to create new threads the first week after they register. Also make a separate catagory on the board for them to post their asses off (allow them to create new threads here). p.s. Noobs will probably start spamming other threads asking why they can't create threads, but it's worth a shot...
