New members - SEARCH


Recommended Posts

Is there any way, at all, to get new members to use the search function prior to posting ?

Like some kind of message to them if they have less than 50 posts for example.

 

Of course not everyone is guilty of asking the same old pap but it's something I notice that happens a lot.

(the irony is, I'm fairly certain this has been posted 1000x as well :lol: )

I think the issue is, the search field isn't the easiest of things to use.

If people knew how to use google properly they'd find the answer quickly - I.e. If you want to know about Plenum Spacers - Google the words '350z-uk Plenum Spacer' You will get so many pages to different threads.

The majority will use the search field, with 'Plenum Spacer' Look and think... :surrender: And then post.

I do find the search function quite laborious sometimes. When I'm looking for an old thread, say a couple of months, it can take some proper digging to find the correct one. I can't imagine what it's like finding one when you don't know what to search for.

Because we archive threads to keep the forum running fast, the search function has limited use.

 

Search like this.

 

1. Go into Google.

2. Type - site:350z-uk.com [whatever your searching for here]

 

This will only search our forum and will include archived topics.
