dubdaddy420 Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 All is I know is I use that search button like crazy, but sometimes there are just so many pointless posts that you cant even dig through them all to find what your looking for. Most the time though you will find something, but it's also nice to ask something new instead of looking at a 3 year old post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcairns Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 I have notice alot of noobies that have been logging on to this site over the past couple of months.. ... I have really noticed alot of repeated questions. I know that we don't get alot of turn around on this site but like I was told by a member along while ago to USE THE SEARCH BUTTON its your friend!!! What is even funnier, is if you have been here a really long time, you will see this come up once and a while Am I getting old or what ?

SSleepingbeauty Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 you took the word out of my mouth. it seems some members have a bit of a arogance problem. i dont know every thing i came from a z06 to this. but when i do have a question or want some advice i dont want to get attitude or smart ass replys. but over all i love it here and like the commrodery plus ive made some cool friends on here. What, you made friends? Seriously though, usually when someone posts some SA remark I just don't respond. Kinda like the silent treatment. Why give them the satisfaction of a response Overall though when you go to any get togethers, everybody is pretty cool. I just think sometimes online it's hard to really know what people emotions are when they type something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berry Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 (edited) I just think sometimes online it's hard to really know what people emotions are when they type something. Hell, the first time I used that emoticon, I said to myself "I don't want to call him stupid." You can't "hear" emotions when your typing. I go thru the same BS when my wife/son are text messaging me. When I first joined, I didn't know there was a search button, never mind knowing what it's used for. I think a FAQ section/button will help out. As members, maybe we need to point out that there is a search button when we welcome new members.

CoolBlueSS Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Probably the best thing is to have a new member site tutorial section. Something to point out site features, and how to use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackss461982 Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 i was guilty of this! once everyone and their mom told me about the search button...at least twice i learned my lesson! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superredss Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 the thread i think you are speaking of, is located in the off-topic forum. maybe if it was moved to the bolt-on forum it would get more attention. Dude I have been here a couple of years and am on here almost daily and I didn't even know about the FAQ section, Holy Cow I need to browse the site a little more! I think this is a great idea though. And maybe in the FAQ section there could be links to threads about these FAQs, that way new members could learn more about the site also?? just me .02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_forma Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 noobs should have to take a test first before they can start posting. Questions would be like.... 1: Where is the search button? 2: Where is the search button? 3: Where is the search button? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wody Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 a while back the admins had a rule in place to where noobs would have to make 5 posts before they could create a new topic, which in turn would force them to search for what they're looking for. it was kaput soon after because of the member intro section. maybe allow them to make a new topic in the member intro section, along with move the FAQ sticky there as well as keep it in the bolt on forum. i got pissed about two of the exact same questions in two different threads by two different newbs on the same day...it gets old. or an auto PM including the FAQ thread.
