catagorize topics & threads - Page 1

we see the same general topics posted repeatedly.  instead of reinventing the wheel each time, it would be nice if these topics could be arranged in some orderly fashion and easier to locate.  on a regular basis we see such discussions as:

kibble food, raw food, vaccinations, hip dysplasia, v rated working dogs, show dogs that work, questions on importing, etc. etc etc. 

i'm sure i'm not the only one that eventually quits responding because i have posted on a particular topic a number of times already.  i don't know what can be done about it, but it seems as though with every new bunch of posters we have to start all over with the same discussions again.

or maybe a claus that reads "please search  old threads/messages before posting questions?

i definately agree for topic categories///headings like other forums

also--i wish somehow the classifieds could state colors of dogs//pups in beggining---tiring to look for specific color wanted after opening 50 million adds

People do end up answering those questions.  If they are tired of seeing the question than they don't have to respond or participate.  Really, how many questions are "new" anyway?!  Information changes, peoples opinions change.  New members come on board who may have a different view on an old question 

I cold go along with when placing an ad, put the sire and dam, so you know the lines before you have to go thru all of them.

Or a search tool, ao that when looking for a pup/adult from those lines, you cold see if any posted

Maybe we could sort everything by color and size and then have it all in alphabetical order and high lite whats worth reading and whats not.

Or maybe we could just have someone else read it all and tell us which ones we would like.

When you post an ad, the first few words should say it all.  

You make a good arguement sue and I agree.

Pick pick pick, leave things alone I say.   I hate change .  I get lost so easily these days I might never make it home.
