We have done that - in editing it would take the first 10-15 pages of forum threads though - no joke - literally hundreds of threads would be stickied.
So we had dedicated threads for newbies to post simple questions where they would get an answer - STILL they didn't bother. Then i made a kinda "knowledge" base thread - with links to each page of the two newbie quesiton threads (both have over 700 posts in each one), with links to the pages, which had a description of what we had gone through on the page so that they could find it simply. STILL they ignore all this and ask the same flippin quesitons week in week out, and dig up old threads to add "Thanks" or "It doesn't work for me" kinda thing. Its annoying simply because there is probs about 80 hours of work in posting answers in those threads by me...........and yet the flippin ignore it al and get arsey if you tell them to spend 5 mins bloody looking
A feature that WOULD be beneficial is that if threads could have the search done by topic only - and not by content. that way you could pull up threads directly relevent to your search, and not all the threads that mention it once or twice in a passing sentance etc....
That way the search function would just be alot more relevant to some areas - especially in the modding sense - as they could find a thread about capship handling - without pulling up 40 threads that match capship or handling in one post of 100....
If it was an option of the search function it would be cool - either search by topic, or search by keywords etc..
