A plea to use the advanced search function before starting a thread.

I've noticed quite a few new threads on old subjects popping up lately. I'm not discouraging folks from posting but much of the information you seek has already been discussed. It's much easier on bandwidth, the mods, etc if we all check out past topics before posting new questions. It's fine to post in the original thread and it brings that thread back to the top of Today's Posts/New Posts for new discussion. I use the Search function as follows:

Click Search
Click Advanced Search
Type my word(s) for search in the Keyword box
Search by "Title Only" first then search "Entire Posts"

Again, I'm not discouraging posting but hoping to help everyone find the information they need sooner and keep everything cleaner.
