Brother Rafe , Jordon and whole gang,

I think this is a matter we need to resolve. It's very true that there are a recent repeated thread in our forum 7650 group. Many FAQs and related are already been resolve, ie, BT Ports, BT connectivity related problem, Firmwares, etc. These posts are already inside... newbie just lazy to make a search for the answer... also means... THEY REFUSE or LAZY TO SEEK for answer.

I feel that such issues should have hightlight to new user who just registed. There should be a big notice before they have submit as new user.

And also over at the main page, the FAQ should have embed at the main page too.

What you think?

[quote="sanjay2402"]Dear All Series 60 Mods

I regret to bring this issue out, but as you must also have observed in the past few weeks, there has been indiscriminate repeat and re-repeat postings in the forums. Infact, presently almost everysingle thread on the first page of 7650 forum is a repeat post.
The newbies may not be knowing of the existance of topics which is why they post new threads, but i strongly feel there should be some measures to see we have quality material on the site, and avoid duplication of discussions/ threads, which would make any searches really tedious.
impossible.

I sincerely hope this will be taken in good spirit and some protocol drawn up at the earliest to address the issue.

Regards

I don't see a problem providing a link to the FAQ and the "Search Board" pages in the welcoem tot he forum email (along witht he warez note Rafe is drafting), but we do have to remmber that the Series 60 community will have a LOT of people coming from further down the "technology adopters curve" than any other PDA in history, so they are *not* going to be as clued up as the regulars would like. We need to have a little bit of patience with them.
