Guild to using the forums

Yes I'm aware I used the wrong "guide" in the title. Find something else to complain about.
There seems to have been an influx of repetitive threads hanging around the forums, I'm not sure if it's because of the new players, or the rest of the player base being too lazy to actually use the forums properly.
So, here's a few steps to make your browsing easier, and the moderators job far less painful:
1.) log in (it will ask you to if you try to search the forums)
- This step can be challenging i know, but try to write down your ID and password if you're prone to getting drunk, or are just a forgetful person
Bonuses for using this step: You get to choose an icon that matches who you want to be portrayed as in this game and generally is more fun than the standard "blank" id.
2.) Locate the Search button
- It can be found about midway down the screen clearly marked "search".
Bonuses for using this step: you are one step closer to finding the answer to your query.
3.) Type in your question
-This step can be a little bit tricky, because you have to have a question or person in mind
and you mostly have to spell it correctly.
TIPS:
-Use actual words (Chat Speak doesn't go over very well)
- Search in the correct Sub Forum (if you know the general area you are looking for)
- Type key words instead of complete sentences
Example:
At what level do you get your flying mount?
Would be shortened to:
Flying mount level require
See? Painless
Once you have mastered this search function, see resulting posts for:
ADVANCED SEARCHING AND YOU
FAQ's about searching
Enjoy the guild.

Just because it's there, doesn't mean people use it. There's a reason I put it in the general forums. If this was taken care of at the beginner level we wouldn't have this issue. Unfortunately it's not and the main problem with that guide is it wasn't stickey'd in every forum.
Thanks for the slap stick thoughLost City Sage barb and Retired Coven Marshal.0
