A problem this site(and all forum sites) have is people who join and create three threads to ask a simple question that is already answered in about 15 other threads but are too lazy to look. So I have posted a step-by-step guide on how to search properly.

STEP 1: Go to this website or any search engine of your choice. To make it even easier, I have listed a few below.
www.google.com
www.yahoo.com
www.askjeeves.com
www.lycos.com
www.dogpile.com
Any of those will do. I suggest google. Now to step two.

STEP 2: Type in what you are searching for. Look at the picture below. The black arrow points to where you type in what you are looking for. You then click search. The red arrow points to the first result. If you think it will work click it. If not, try the next one.

Once you master the art of searching, other people who don't like to sort through junk threads and threads worth responding to will like you alot better.

Thank You!! We should put this in every forum, so many people take the search function for granted.

hi,

i think this is a good idea as well. Perhaps a mod or admin will peek at this thread and think of adding this to the initial signup before new people are accepted by afterdawn. I enjoy the challenge of trying to help someone but at the same time if they already have a general idea of the issue it would decrease the number of posts which (I too am guilty of this) floating off topic.

to burn or not to burn that is the question

I was sortof being sarcastic, but honesly, people need to search. Im just trying to get my point across that most people are just too lazy to do something that is faster than starting a thread and waiting for a response.

My question to this is: How did the people who ask those questions stumble upon this site? Didn't they use some sort of serch engine to find it, did someone tell them, or did it just pop up magically when they turned on their computer? ;)

And for those of you reading this who want some extra help, try going to http://www.dogpile.com. It's a very good meta-search engine, meaning it'll look for all the major search engines at once.

If Im online, Im usually on Steam:

@Rikoshay You are absolutly right about how do people find this site. They must just become lazy when they see that they can just start a thread and get an answer. And I have used dogpile before, but I forgot about it when I wrote this thread. I'll edit to include it :)
