After being here for a while, I came to the conclusion that nobody really uses the search function, or understands how to take full advantage of it. It seems that if a topic isn't on the first page, then it has never been discussed. From what I can see, a good amount of helpful and knowledgeable users have moved on due to this re-hashing over and over, and all the bickering. So I have put together a small how-to with the search function for you to take advantage of past conversations and info. This is my first thread started since I joined 5 months ago. I have found all I needed to know just by using search.
To start, just type in a one or more keywords in the search bar in the top right and hit enter.
Notice that the threads that pop up do not really help to much, as they just contain the keywords somewhere in the posts. For the best results, hit "search" again in the top left and work with "advanced search".
Once you are in advanced search, put your keywords back in the box and change the dropbox next to it to "search titles only" for better results.
Now all of the threads in your search will contain your keyword(s) and will be much more relevant to your search.
Good luck and happy growing. Feel free to ask any questions if you have them.
Edit: I fail at working with pictures, but the ones on the bottom work, just have to view them in the correct order, which is 3, 2, 4, 1.
