Its too bad when just about every thread starts with, "Sorry if this was already discussed or I apologize if you already brought this up" as a possible precurser to getting a repeat topic thread LOCKED! I learned to do something the other day (took a few tries to get it right) that I thought I would share. For those of you that already know how to do a hyperlink you can disregard this (stop laughing at me for just learning this) for those that don't it's easy. Go to the actual web page that you would like linked, copy and paste the entire URL (right click the URL then left click copy) then when you are commenting on a thread and want to add the clickable link, click on the "link" button at the top of the comment box. In the open field right click then left click paste. It will then be added to the comment box with a blue highlight in the text, at that point just type in a simple description "original thread, text to link, whatever" then just post. Would be nice if repeat threads could just get linked to original threads by members. I will start doing that. Too many pages of threads to look through just to find a similiar topic.

This site needs: 1. searchability 2. "bumpability" - i.e., the ability to post to an old thread topic and have it be pushed to the top. 3. "stickiness" - the ability for the staff to actually stick main threads that everyone should read to the top, above all threads - these are usually administrative, like: don't troll, this is how you search, etc.

@silica, these points are known to our administrator BugHunter. He's on a few, and there is actually a "thread bump" already, you can find the threads anyone has just posted in, if you go to [url=http://www.prometheus-movie.com/community/]Your text to link here...[/url] you'll see the latest posts and the threads they are in, thus "bumping" them, so hope that helps ;-) and it's a custom made forum from scratch too in BugHunter's spare time. He knows about everything and is getting a few things sorted ;-)
