whats that mean ? ... how do u use it ? what do i click ? ...

[exagrandprix104]

better?

[illused]

HAHHAHAA hooray for firefox

[GPexa]

I'm not sure what you're getting at, Mike...?

[reeceknot]

what the fuck?

[illused]

(to further persuade people to use the search feature instead of creating a new thread)

[Blood]

err.... ok, how do we find hte search feature ?

[DEVILsEXA]

I click on go but it keeps saying error!

Whats the blank space for?

What is it 'searching' for?

[88 N13 Exa]

WTF...... i like the 'last ten topics post' style thing.... it keeps topics current.... i reckon warren has done a top job wit da site....

plus ya will always get the dumb shit's who post, 'i wanna a det conversion,' even though there is 1000 threads about it already, people will always questions about it even if their is 'another', bigger search feature...

[ZeffriN]

I like the idea

just need to call the advanced search page into a page element of the front page

[dilbee]

so how do you do a det conversion??? lol

[Puls R US]

Agree with zeffrin, advance search feature on the home page (along with the whats new things!).

[therubberband]

While we are on the point of site changes, a new home page, or new look would be good.

[dipe]

yeah, you have changed most other parts of the site in the last year. time for the front page!

[exagrandprix104]

ok ok, i think people are getting a little serious on this one.. i put this up as a joke.. cos noone ever seems to be able to search and just make new threads on bullsh*t topics, so i thought it would be some chuckles... i dont really wanna change the site.

[ZeffriN]

Obviously a big search thing with arrows is a joke

but I think having search functionality on the mainpage would be an idea worth looking ati!

[Blood]

ok ok, i think people are getting a little serious on this one.. i put this up as a joke.. cos noone ever seems to be able to search
I knew that ....
thats why i replied with what iu said... then others were saying "dont take away the main scrren about new threads" .. lol ...
but i thought that is what the thread was about.. so i shut my mouth about it ... so i didnt look dumb..
but yeah, i knew it was a joke Re: nobody searches ... lol
:thumbup:

[SeGGy]

most of the topics that keep gettin postd about (det for example), keep happening by newbies (well have in the past from memory)
even if there was a big arse search function that was a large hint to search b4 you post, newbs will still create the threads

[EXTICY]

Instead of most recent posts, why not have maybe a last five posts. and then a top 5 search topics....

[GPexa]

With the next version of vBulletin coming out, that should be easier to do than it is now... so all should be good!

[Blood]

.... we upgrading again ?

[ExaBaybee]

what about a link somewhere that says .. wanna talk about conversions click here ___ then it automatically searches for the conversion topics for them.. then we dont get stupid amounts of the same question

does that makes sense to anyone or do i need more sleep .??

[exagrandprix104]

yeah, the new Vbulletin rocks... have seen it on NS.com!

[GPexa]

Sorry to inform you, Mike, that's invisionboard... what is coming in the next vBulletin is magic... Instant editing, replying etc etc without having to reload the page... funky javascript galore! :)

[illused]

heel yea! hope it works in firefox...

[EXTICY]

Yes, it works in firefox...

[ZeffriN]

Firefox is 100% standards compliant

If it works in IE and not Firefox, that means the site is shit. not firefox :P

[ExaBaybee]

how about some new smilies while your at it warren.. these ones are boring.. lol

[Dr_Xplod]

i think if you use the seach feature you will find there was already a topic about this....
lol :P

[ExaBaybee]

wheres the search button??????

how does it work.. ???

[EXTICY]

i think if you use the seach feature you will find there was already a topic about this....
lol :P Just typed in "search home page" and got afew threads up... Nothing on this topic except this thread!!! LOL

[auzdark]

i say let the newbies make their threads, its not gonna hurt that much, and they eventually learn, most people make a new thread so they can ask their sometimes silly questions without ruining a decent thread with great information (having to sift through a 5 page thread with lots of random in between can be annoying, but sometimes fun)

but i rekon let em!

[ZeffriN]

actually thats a really good point

sometimes new threads breed new thoughts! even on old topics
