Everyone has a right to post when they want. When I joined the forum, I think I was pretty much the only full time lady poster. And did I get a ribbing from some of the guys for all the posting I was doing! They are no longer here, took themselves off to a BIG BOYS forum with no woman!!!! I remember how intimidating it was, I don’t want anyone to feel intimidated on this forum.

I know why too, because a man wrote the instructions, and for the life of me…..I don’t understand them at all…….(the instructions as well!) So yes Sue……I do to!

Looks like it's a "no comment" Re: Let's Use The Search Button 47Mar 17, 2009 12:19 pm Why not have a section of the forum called "commonly asked topics" where all the thread topics that get constantly repeated can be stickied for new members to browse through? It would also be handy to see all these common threads in one place rather than having to search through the whole forum using what most consider to be a fairly non user friendly search engine tool.
One of the reasons I don't use the search function very much is because it is not very user friendly so I quite often can't find what I'm looking for and I give up. ~ Hels ~ Blog: http://bluemistkids.blogspot.com "Never be afraid to try something new.

I did a search for grass tree's. You can just imagine how many listings came up.....arhhhhh. Every post and thread tittle that had the word, grass or tree's in it. I gave up too !!! I really see the point the admins are making tho, When I join a forum, I usually lurk for ages and read all the old topics, I think some peeps just join and post, Re: Let's Use The Search Button 49Mar 17, 2009 1:33 pm mel Michelle .

What's wrong with doing this? Isn't that what this forum is for? Discussion and advice? So what if someone pops in with one question and then goes away. Who cares? I didn't think Homeone was ONLY for regular posters.

I really see the point the admins are making tho, When I join a forum, I usually lurk for ages and read all the old topics, I think some peeps just join and post, When you type in the word you are serching for, underneath there's two options, click on "search for all terms" this can narrow the search down considerably when putting in multiple terms. Also further down on the left there is an option just to display posts rather than threads. This can also narrow it down. It's not the most user friendly search function though. I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself. Terrence Malick Re: Let's Use The Search Button 53Mar 17, 2009 4:22 pm Thanks for that Joles xx
----------------------------------------- Would it be worth the admins having a chat about Hels n gregs idea about the common questions asked area ? Maybe there could be a members vote on it or something... It may help stop all the repeating of certain topics in a small time frame. Just a suggestion, I don't mind if you poo poo it !!
