Padlocks are expensive 🔒 - Search First and Love Your Mods

[JonahTheBard]

Morning folks,

I found this image of @zephy1 merging threads (you can see the new boy watching)

And a reminder to us all to search the forum before posting.

I know we all get excited about our shiny new meta-defining ideas, but maybe someone else has already covered that ground.

In which case, add your brain waves to that conversation.

And, yes, rest assured, I did check this topic before posting (there’s an awful lot of hits on bookmarks and such by the impeccably tidy @Gryphonknight)

Merging threads is quite clumsy and time consuming, so let’s support the mods and add to existing threads when possible.

@rook doesn’t need a high thread-count to get a good night’s sleep

I did a search … that gorgeous kitty belongs here

The Feline Fans of E&P

Whether you’re a fan of Azlar, play E&P with your loyal moggy or identify as Feline, here’s a space for you.

The self-publicist in me knows that cats sell better than dry advice on forum etiquette.

It was hard to get Rook to sit still and pose though.

You should definitely consider a second career in photography!

Awesome post @JonahTheBard.
Thank you mods!

@zephy1

If I were a drink, this would be the “same great taste, less filling” version.

[KLinMayhem]

Posting and you

Just replace steam forums with e&p forums

[Garanwyn]

I’ve basically got the hang of it at this point.

[JonahTheBard]

You found it anyway Zephy, you clever clogs

[zephyr1]

It helps that I look at every new thread on the Forum at some point…

(except ones that originate in #foreign-languages, I’m mostly useless over there unless I’m tagged)

[JonahTheBard]

That’s brilliant

20 urges

[EMTBear]

But what would the mods do if we didn’t ask dumb stuff and not use the search function and just make new topics? They need us.

[PapaHeavy]

So I was going to start a twine vs thread post but then I found this…

[LadySuzanne]

Ah, @EMTBear … Whatever would I do without you in my daily E&P life?

Yep, he’s one of mine AND YOU CAN’T HAVE HIM!!

[Garanwyn]

Looks like you wound up at the right place!

[PapaHeavy]

Touché my good Sir, Touché

[JonahTheBard]

Or there’s plenty of advice on carpet bombing…

[Justab0x]

Now I HAVE to search before I post something…else I’m afraid I’ll look like:

1. An idiot , or
2. I have no Love for the mods, or
3. I disregarded this insightful - detective post

…if the topic I was looking for was already created before !!!

( Or worst case senario, it didn’t show up under relevant search and after the top 8 scrolls i decided to make a post … Which already existed )

[Rook]

…Or you could just drop a Meme. I might forgive you for a clever meme…

[Tamsin]

Congrats, @Garanwyn on Mod status!

I’m getting better at searching on the forum. I am now relevant.

[Garanwyn]

Thanks!

You were relevant before. You just required a little more thread management support
