Stupid, trivial annoyance....topics posted in wrong forums...suggestion?

[duroz]

I have to throw this out there, and then maybe it will stop bugging me and I can ignore it:

I would like to suggest that everyone starting new topics check to see/make sure that they are making them in the correct forum (the one it belongs in). That's the reason they have different forums or categories. If it didn't matter where topics are posted, the whole community/boards would be posting in one giant topic.
The concept of different forum areas is to keep the community organized, so it's a useful tool to find information, and that's helpful to everyone-whether you're looking yourself, or helping someone.
Also checking for the topic (meaning looking through and/or READING posts, and also searching) that you want to post about before you start a new topic would be nice too. I've been noticing SO many topics that are almost identical.

Well if ya think about it most people want there topic to be seen so they post it in the wrong place so it does get answered or at least looked at.  But I agree would be nice for it to be placed in the right places.

I have to agree, it is difficult to know for sure when you are new, but at the same time, when you are new it is difficult to find things through search if you don't use the same lingo as what might be in the post that will answer your question. After the number of years that this site has been running there is a lot that could be cleaned up and archived that would make the search process a lot easier and cut down on all the fluff. Take care
