Automatic search for similar threads, and the MH Disc board.
 

In certain forums, when you post a new thread, RYL automatically searches for similar thread which stops repeats of common questions being asked.

Can we please have this in the mental health and discussion forum? Every couple of days people ask the same questions and this would be eliminated if they could check whether something has been posted before.

I know some of us are working on a new sticky which will contain lots of information to link to, but this would also help a great deal.

Does it not do it in MH?
Oh, that's odd.

I agree. A lot of topics seem to be repeated.

Is it supposed to then, Rach?

Before posting there, I usually just use the search function to see if there are any similar threads. It would be sooo handy to have an automatic search in MH!

The only public forums that we have auto search in [us regular members, that is, dunno about mods] is F&CQ.

It's not everywhere. I know it does it for the forum mods area but not the chat mods area, even.

I like that little thing, though. :)

Oooh they have the search thingy in reviews and recs too.
