Moderators Closing Threads
I just wanted to say that I would like to see the Moderators post a link to the original thread in the event of a double post or duplicate discussion. It's frustrating reading a thread only to discover it's closed and then have to search for the original.

The reason why they close it is because you should have done that in the first place.....ROFL |
Re: Moderators Closing Threads
Also when a thread is closed you can see a lock on the envelope to the left of the thread. And where Post Reply is, it says Closed.

Re: Moderators Closing Threads
The fact is that the search function on forums suck. It's nearly impossible to find anything you need. Limited to more than X number of charaters (can't search "GPS" "Windows 7") and the results are cryptic meaning you have to go through 5 pages of search returns.
I agree that searching is the first thing you should do, but if you can't find what you need what are you supposed to do? And if a mod closes a thread because it's a dupe, they obviously know where the other thread is so is it really too much to ask for them to post a quick link? |
Re: Moderators Closing Threads
And most of the Mods here do give you a link to the original thread. If not a member usually chimes in and gives the link before the thread is closed. Everyone gets frustrated with searching cause they really dont know to search the forums. Use the Google Search options to search. It works 100% better than the default search option

Re: Moderators Closing Threads
i think people make the search harder than what it is. if you want to ask a question, just use the key words of that question. you will come up with multiple threads but you have to SEARCH for the answer. if people stop commenting with useless info or argue in someones' thread then the answer would be on 1 page instead of 32 pages. just my 2 pennies...

Re: Moderators Closing Threads
There are some great responses in this thread (e.g., post #8, etc.).
But here's the bottom line: Threads: 53,265, Posts: 694,183, Members: 213,812, Active Members: 35,862 So there is a good chance that somewhere in this forum someone (and probably more than one member) has had the same issue/problem with their phone that you're having. That's why we really focus on using the search function. It might not be the greatest but it's the first place you should start if you don't have the time to read through a few pages of threads. There are no shortcuts to learning about your phone...the best advice out there is to read, read, read, search, search, play with phone, drink beer, read, search, search, play with phone, hard reset phone, drink beer, read, read, search, serach, search...well, you get the point. Also don't forget about the private messaging function. If you feel a thread was unjustly closed due to the issue being very unique, etc., then pm the mod who closed it or another mod and ask them (nicely) to open back up. I think most of you who know me will tell you that I'm pretty fair and will always listen to constructive criticism, etc. late, Coz |

Re: Moderators Closing Threads
You can indeed search on GPS. For shorter terms use an asterisk (*). For example, to search on "touch hd" your search would be "touch hd*".

I generally do not have an issue with searching on here when I need to. The 5% chance that I can't find something quickly when using the native searching, I google it. |
