Searching Prior Threads...Worth Your Time...



Not trying to dissuade people from starting any kind of thread they want(With AudiogoN's approval)....but,..it is worthwhile to look through prior threads using the Forum search...by topic, brand name...whatever.

The only reason I thought this might be worth people thinking about, has been the number of similar posts over the last week or so asking for suggestions on small speakers..seems there have been similar questions with some of the same answers.

Just food for thought....now, think I'll go start one of those Power Cord threads...

As someone new to this forum I have a suggestion. Most forums, or other sites I use, place the search engine in the most conspicious place possible. Take a look at the asylum or Bottlehead. The text search is front and center. Here, unless I'm mistaken, you have to go to "other chat" and then to the bottom of the next page which isn't visable unless you scroll all the way down. Not the first place someone new is going to look. I confess I was here for a while before I knew there was a seach capability here. Maybe some of this could be avoided with one line of instruction: " Want Info Fast? You may search all prior posts here." and placing the search engine at the top of the new threads page.

Sincerely, I remain
I agree with Clueless. Once you're there, the forum search is easy to use, but it should be easier to access from the "new today" page...which is(I think) where most people start their time on A-goN. Hopefully this is of value to Arnie and all at A-goN, it could save drive/bandwidth.
As a follow-up. If they take suggestions. Mention Search Audiogon Forum on the page that shows up when you hit the "learn" button too. The only search that is mentioned there takes you to Hifiheaven.

Sincerely, I remain
