|  | | | I had an iea about bringing attention to the SEARCH function. I saw it on another board (www.macserialjunkie.com), and I don't think it's particularly obtrusive. Av, what do you think about making this change...
FOr those of you who may have animated .gifs turned off, it's simply a slightly pulsating orange glow effect on the forum SEARCH button. It should repeat forever.

Even better yet, here's one that links to my webpage...
Sorry. Anyways, it this a ridiculous idea? Just thinking of a way to draw new users' attention to the function. (Or, as I wrote before editing the thread, 'fuction')

| | | | The glow should be camo, so it makes the button even more conspicious.

| | | | I think it just popup at you on your first visit to the forum and yell "Hey fucktard, ask ME the stupid questions around here". I think that would work alot better.

| | | | yes, and automatically in the search text filled was the word "FuckTard" that you had to delete everytime you wanted to do a search.
Seriously Matt, Fucktard is now going to be in my vocabulary for the next couple of days. LMFAO!

| | | | LOL! Seriously, that pulsing orange isn't too noticable to me, I have animated gifs on but I didn't notice it was animated untill you said so. A better way might be what Matt suggested, have the search feature prominently displayed on a newb's first few visits with the suggestion to check there first for any questions (but maybe without the Fucktard )
Turn off the internet and go play outside.

| | | | Wow people actually like one of my ideas, w00t! Ok we can scratch fucktard but something like, "Welcome to the Urban Exploration Resource, to find what you're looking for, use this. Also be sure to check out the forum rules -link-". Not bad eh?

|  | | | I'm SOOOO tempted right now to just compose a post containing nothing but "hahahahahahhahahahahahaha", but I won't for the sake of content.
Maybe just suggesting to all the new members that they should use the search instead of the members to answer all their questions.
Just a suggestion. Or add it to the post deletion notification pm, just as a sort of reminder. "Your post was deleted because you asked a question that was answered in another thread. To find out where it was answered, please use the search function."
Or something along those lines.

| | | | Mods can customize the reason given to a user when their post is deleted, so in the case of a post being deleted because it asks a question already heavily covered, this would be a good idea! Thanks, O².
Oh, and welcome back. Haven't seen you around since July.

You're welcome, anything to help.
And thanks for the return welcome. I accidentally forgot the forum existed after leaving for a bit and continued my UE without giving second thought to it. I was reminded by talking to a friend about forums.
Hehe.

Welcome back as well, as I too forgot the forum for a long while as well. Though there is strong evidence that that may or may not have been alcohol-related, I'm still investigating...:\

| | | | How can there be strong evidence that it may AND may not be alcohol related? 
Anyway, back to the search function thing, is there some way we could like, insist that the search function is an integral part of the forum's use?
Perhaps point it out in new user welcoming threads or something, I dunno just anything to get them using it often.
