There are other ways to tell and everyone one of them works just as well.
Whereas I dont have any cute answers about lollipops, I do recognize that you probably havent had the time to wade through all the other posts regarding this topic. as most have been closed and moved to this point. By the fact that you are a "worker" lends one to believe you are new to the forums and therefore should get a free pass on your question. Sorry that others are not as patient and dismissed your genuine concern.. The answer to your question is... hmmm well no one really knows and it has been asked so frequently that everyone has given up asking. it is far easier to discuss lollipops at this point and somehow belittle you in the process.. Good luck on your journey for knowledge!
That small side joke about lollipops was a way of mixing in a little humour with an otherwise useless thread, and it matters not how new someone is to the forums everyone is expected to search for an answer before they ask a question.
And can you please tell everyone exactly how to do that? or are they EXPECTED to know how to do that also? Look I am not trying to be confrontational here. But this is GD! and in all honesty there are way too many people eager to jump on the high horse to be the 1st to shoot a newbie down, discouraging any further forum posts... Being nice and constructive will serve everyone much better than being sarcastic and mean. You cant hold everyone to the same standards here. Pay it forward!
You make a valid point and I apologise if I seem to be rude about this but everyone is told the same thing dozens of times a day and dozens of times a day the exact same thread pops up.
If you want to know how to use the search go to the top of the page and there is a search bar between new posts and quick links, click it for a drop down menu where you get a range of fabulous options to find an answer to almost every question you can ever think of.
Yes I am aware of the features that are provided.. I utilize them daily! lol I just think that we get so complacent and think that the knowledge we have, everyone should be aware of. But to be honest it took me weeks to figure it out! and I am fairly computer literate . I can totally see a new person struggling with it and still wants an answer, so their recourse is to make a post that most of us think is "STUPID" the only stupid question is one that was never asked. IMO and we need to recognize that not everyone has a grasp on this like alot of us do. I just think that if we cant be constructive in our responses then we just shouldn't say anything at all and let the MODs handle it. The alternative is to just bash any idiot that says anything that we feel is stupid.. IMHO
I cant deny most things said in these threads arent constructive but the mass of people who make them are very angry people who will argue about anything and some members of the forum are no better.
And the only response a mod will give is "thread closed".
