The purpose of a forum?

Totally agreed with! I have gained from some helpful advice and hopefully have dished some out. Just thought at the end of a hard day some light hearted chat on a subject even if it strays can cause little harm. I didn't mean to step on anyones toes... well not much anyway. And it obviously does some good or I wouldn't be here. I try not to be rude just light hearted.

Edit: and somethimes a bit cheeky that's me nature

by al means chat, use regionals or IB, we try to keep the two top area's for information and problem solving and fairly clear of waffle.

Cheers Mark.

I can't believe this subject has come up tonight after talking to a mate earlier about the whole "try a search" responses, spooky stuff.

My opinion is just please for the love of god don't ask "what tyre is best for my SV?" again

Sometimes I think of myself as an anorak and that's the time where I log off.

Problem is, if you want/expect some people to ignore your thread, then the next thing you will be posting is a reply along the lines of

"What, nobody knows anything about [insert topic], you guys suck, I'm out of here."

The people who have seen the subject time after time, are the people who can probably answer the slight variation that perhaps you have asked.

Most forums follow a rule that you should search before you ask questions, by NOT following this convention, its the poster of the duplicate question that is being rude.

I have been on forums where you would have got a "Do a search" reply, then the thread locked.

So, in general, find a thread on the topic you have a question on, then, if you have any further questions, add to THAT thread, people will see that its re-surfaced and look at it. Aslo when you do add to the old thread, try and let people see that you have read it, refer to things in the thread that you are not sure on, or doubt the accuracy of.
