Just tossing out an idea, FWIW..is there any way that when you hit the PREVIEW button when posting a new thread....the title automatically goes to the Search function, and in addition to the preview of your new thread, it displays any threads that meet the Search parameters within, says, a two hour time limit...

There is talk about searches before posting. With the title search, it is hard because some change the original title.

An excellent idea I have heard discussed numerous times over the years. John Robinson would have to speak to the feasibility.

Of course this would only work where the poster used the article title exactly. We have far too many that insist on using their own titles, which makes future searches useless.

What!? You want computers to do automatically what we humans could do manually?
