Nomis07 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I signed up to another FM Forum yesterday and was posting a copy of a thread I posted here a few weeks ago when this haened and I thought it would be great for these forums. <IMG SRC="http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm248/Nomis07/Forumrequest.jpg"> Not only would it stop the dozens of posts about the same thing appearing everyday, but it would also stop people like me moaning.

turn it upto 11 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 does this just come up when clicking start new topic? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomis07 Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 No, it appears after you have typed your thread title. It obviously takes your title and does an automatic search. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 The forums are quite limited in terms of features, as they are provided Eve , not the greatest forums ever. I preferred the really really old style we had that were similar to the Proboards forums. Plus these forums are heavily restricted. I wouldnt hold my breath on any kind of convenience or personalized improvements. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Ter Posted June 11, 2008 SI Staff Share Posted June 11, 2008 I don't think we're able to do anything like that. I'm afraid we're stuck with what we've got unless the creators of this board software add new features. What board software is that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
turn it upto 11 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 ah right, yes its a good idea. im not bothering telling people anymore, not my job, and i think the mod wasnt to happy with us doing it either. im not sure this would stop people anyway, as others have said they know there is already a thread but they feel the need to start thier own. but good idea all the same. what forum is it btw, if its not against the rules to say Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of te time I try to be polite about it and give them the link, but you still get abuse and then when it's all done and dusted you look like the bad guy.

Slightly irritating, but the mods have to verify you before your able to post etc. It's very strict though, I mentioned one player and got a warning I'm happy enough with these forums though, they are the easiest to get round and have the most users and new info. Could do with jazing up though. On a side note of jazzing up, I worked for autotrader when I was younger designing ads and once had an ad emailed in for a Ford Fiesta and the text included "try and make this advert sexy". Now I like Ford cars, but I don't know how to make a Ford Fiesta sexy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 It's vBulletin. By far the best forum software out there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
backpackant Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 If the mods just closed topics with the following subject headers (or their various incarnations) they'd save a lot of space: 4-2-4 The AI cheats I want 3D graphics Regens are rubbish Unrealistic transfer market 4-2-4 Ass mans are rubbish SI are money-grabbing scum Board confidence and, er... 4-2-4 Have I missed any? A link to a sticky saying "do a search before posting" should suffice as explanation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mravac Kid Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Or just have the "create new topic" button link to the search page. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
