"how to post"

[danno]

I'm so ashamed I started a new thread for this...

:D

Lol! Very good!

"It is always better to post in an existing thread than to start a new one..."

Funny stuff.

I get the feeling that video was directed towards me.

I'll try to pay more attention to my posting etiquette from now on.

I'm sorry. I'm not worthy.

I think a link to this thread ought to be posted on every new redundant thread! How many times have we had to redirect people to somewhere where we've already been talking about their idea for weeks and weeks? Too funny!

Dig it! Too funny - now, where are those stickies? ;)

In defense of multiple posters, I have tried to search on this forum, and haven't come up with what I was looking for, only to be directed by an "elder" member to a thread they remembered.

Try searching for Imperial IPA.

IPA is too short of a word to search for so you have to eliminate it

Down to just imperial, too many results to just search on that word.

DIPA? I got one result that was helpful for that search term.

Just an observation.

Would it be possible to change the search word minimum to 3 instead of 4 characters? That has tripped me up on more than a few occasions.

Bruno, you make an excellent point - I've had the same frustration many times.

Similarly, I wish there was a function that would show me all threads with new posts from a certain point in time without having to enter a key word (usually I use "beer" and I get a fair amount, but this is the first time in THIS thread that that word was used!). Oftentimes I'll accidentally close out my window before I'm done reading all of the new posts, and something will come up, and by the time I'm back the cookie has expired and I have to improvise. I realize this program is sort of set in stone, but if anything can be done, it would be very helpful!

In defense of multiple posters,

I honestly don't think we have a problem with too many multiple posts around here. I'm not going to stop defending lager, even though I'm often redundant.

I don't think the above link was posted as any sort of editorial message to anyone, it's just funny - and someone has already doubled it up as an honest mistake! He he he.

I think we've proven that we're all pretty laid back here and enjoy the company and info passed around. I don't think anyone is going to get petty enough to whine that we've already talked about skunked Pilsner Urquell (for example). And, as you've pointed out, searching isn't the easiest at forums.

Oh, I get it now, I saw fret's post on the other thread, then I came here and read steves'. Now it makes sense. Funny guys.

[fretlessman71]

I really gotta be fair.... That was steveh's post in the first place. You can tell because he only uses 1 "e" per syllable when laughing (i.e., "he he he"). I use two of them.

Now that you know the single solitary difference between us, you'll have to be destroyed... I'm sending you a case of skunky PU (MAN, that's funny!), and you'll be expected to drink the entire thing in 24 hours from a used Mickey's barrel. Sorry, man... just policy. :D
