...before you post on a subject that already has 30 threads dedicated to it. You'll get your answer faster that way more times than not.
This will also reduce the amount of clutter so that threds can become more focused and active.
less threads on a topic = more discussion
more threads on a topic = less discussion
Thanks for reading

The hard part about searching the threads is getting to the current information. Maybe I am missing something, but I always find it a pain to start with the oldest messages. Maybe if there was some way to specify the order of the search results.

It's just too bad that the people who REALLY need to see this won't bother to look ... they'll just post their question, unaware that people are requesting they do otherwise.

That's a great idea... adding a search parameter/sort/filter for date in the Advanced Search page.

Why didn't you search the threads, and find an already open one to put this in?
Take your own advice next time.

I enjoy many of the threads you are referring to because they seem to be lower level topics posted by lower level jedi. It appears that you are pretty far into the jedi profession and don't need to read these. Do us newer guys a favor and ignore the threads that you find repetitive or beneath your level. I don't tell you how to post so please giveus the same courtesy. Btw who the f*&% appointed you forum monitor noob?

The simple answer is that recently a lot of threads (more so than other times) are covering the same topics. I posted this as a friendly reminder to the community that the questions you are posting have already been answered in another thread.
Dude, we're both vets and have been on these boards since launch; I'm surprised that someone like you would post this. Oh, don't let me reg date fool you, I've been Starsider since Day 2.
