There is such a wealth of good advice on this forum but I spend ages sometimes searching back through recent posts to find snippets of info I remember seeing. Search function only seems to work on topic titles and content often wanders off from original messages.

Some sort of index would be really useful and I'm thinking of making one. This would be a time-consuming job as initially will involve trawling back through topics and reading through all posts (stopping maybe when content starts getting too out-of-date or repetetive) for info worth indexing, then keeping up to date per latest posts.

Before starting this, however, I want to be sure:
- there isn't such a facility already built in to the forum that I haven't found yet
- someone else isn't already doing this (no point reinventing the wheel)!

Any comments welcome.

Phil

Hi Phil

Good idea but is this your subtle way of saying "stay on topic"

I'm as guilty as anyone of "hijacking the thread" (if that's what it means)  confused.gif

Hi Phil,

I reccon that the three Amigo's have you beaten on taking threads off piste. Some of the best debates on here started on completely innocuous threads.

I'm sure that I remember a tax debate that started out as something like Hello from Cornwall.

Personally I use Google search to find the threads on here that I'm after rather than using the search facility on the site but that's just me and it doesn't always find the threads that I know exist.

I think that if you did try this it would end up a pretty soul destroying task and as a downside people who just look at random on here might miss some of the real hidden gems.

If you do go ahead with it I think that you're going to need a plentiful supply of red bull!

Have fun and talk soon,

Shaun.
