I just saw on tivocommunity.com that when you create a new thread and type in the subject, it automatically does a search and the search results automatically pop up in the page between the title box and the message box. We need something like that on macrumors!!
Got a tip for us?

Thats a great idea. Although I'm not so offended when someone starts a duplicate or similar thread. People seem to get so perturbed over it.
I think that the OP has a great idea. The only time I get annoyed by it is when we have a million threads one per day on the same topic.
But MacRumors is an iPhone and locked down. Change is s l o w.
This would be a great idea!

I didn't mean to tease, by the way. If anything, it shows that spotting previous threads on a topic isn't as easy as it might seem, and that suggestions to make it easier have merit.
But if MR did have that "whiz-bang" technology, then what would the mods have to merge, trim, lock, and delete?
Something tells me we won't be out of work...
This is POTD!
Yes. I lol'd. Recursive logic -> head explodes.

They don't get bored. They'd get even more ban-happy.
