Hey, with this service being supported almost entirely from the forum - it is very important that people "use the ******* search function"
But, they do not.
Sooo... have you seen those forums that automatically return search results when the user types a title for their post? I have never set up a forums so I couldn't tell you how its done, though i believe it must be an ajax script.
Basically, the user types in the title, then when they either click on the message box or tab to it the search results appear between the title and the message box saying "Check That Your Topic Does Not Exist" or something like that.
I think it would really cut down on the number of multiple threads we are seeing - assuming this is possible on this forum.
