Foxic Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Could we change the forum structure so when you click 'Start New Topic' and type your thread title, the forum searches the database and shows 5 or 6 results that match your thread title. I think this may help to stop so many threads on the same subject being started. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theconnactic Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I agree! It will surely improve our noise to info ratio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eep357 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I love the idea, but not sure it would be easy to implement. Don't know details on how site's IP Board software works, but my thought on how it would probably need to be done to make it work is to have "start new topic" actually just be normal search with titled changed to disguise it, then once in search results screen, the "start new topic" option would still be the traditional one, basically making search results screen the only place the real "start new topic" option is actually available.

Foxic Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 I just meant for the search results to appear between the title and body sections of the post. I've seen it on other forums so I'm sure it's do-able. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poco Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Very possible, and definitely a nice idea. The timeline for something like that though is long, likely not this year, although you never know 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
