Great post Tammy...I totally agree with you and It really kind of makes me sad that anyone would get frustrated if I posted a ? that I really needed the support of my YT friends for......We dont wont to aggrevate anyone, but just really want support..

since i am fairly new to YT, I probably have asked questions that have been answered before but then i wouldn't have met so many neat YT'ers! You never know when someone new may have a whole new perspective on something. Even if it is something that has been around before, it is nice to be able to respond to someone new. It is just the neighborly thing to do!!
Why have a chat group if all we wanted to do was look up FAQ's!

Members are advised to use the search function to find immediate answers to questions they may have if they wish. Utilizing the right keywords for search will help, for example, if you are searching about threads about bows for boys, searching "bows boys" can lead to good results and discussions, such as:

http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...ight=boys+bows

http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...ight=boys+bows

http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...ight=boys+bows

We always welcome new threads and new posts, regardless of whether the topic has been discussed before or not. Sometimes their question is slightly different from a previously discussed topic, sometimes it is exactly the same. More opinions and replies can't hurt.

Titling the thread appropriately will be helpful. Members that do not wish to read about another thread about tinies or about bad breeders can always skip the threads they are not interested in. If members want to reply and share their experience or give their support, they may of course do that.

I think sometimes people use questions as a way to reach out for whatever reasons - maybe they don't know how to use SEARCH, or maybe they just really need to ask a question.

even with repeat topics there's always different people posting on each so if you look at it that way - it really isn't the same thing over and over

my peeve is when I see titles like....HELP ME !!!! NEED ADVISE !!! and you open it and it's about someone needing a name for their dog or something. LOL ....smack !!

so ya....Admin said it - Specific Thread Titles do help alot -

The SEARCH feature is great but when it comes to connecting with people ...a post is the best way....After being here as long as I have, I may skip over posts that I've seen a ton of times UNLESS that person only has a few replies...then I try to say something...

One way to help is look for the posts with the smallest amount of replies - you never know who's day you'll make a little nicer by taking the time to post to them.

Yep, I agree.

The support is one of the main things here! To know that people are thinking about you and praying for you is terrific and has helped me many times. Plus you make friends that you might not otherwise meet if just using the search engine.

See - now you all know me a little better and know what I like.
