And yes I am very interested in the info in your sig file but I don't now what to "PM" you means. A 'PM' is a Personal Message. To send one you must have 25 posts already, then you can click on a person's screen name (like mine to the left of this post) and on the next page see the 'Communicat' block on the right side and click the 'Send a Personal Message' link. Just follow the on-screen directions. QUOTE(christyn1224 @ Oct 11 2005, 03:55 AM) [snapback]494501[/snapback] As a mod, I get PMs daily from people who have received a warning for posting a topic that has already been posted.... Usually, these people claim that they performed a search, but did not find anything and in talking to them about how they did the search, I find that often they are doing it ineffectively. Hopefully, this topic will help those of you who may be unsure where to start when it comes to searching the forum. First off, I should mention, when we ask that you "perform a search" before posting a topic, we do not expect you to go through pages and pages of posts and see if someone else's post smacks you square between the eyes! We are asking that you use the nice little "Search" link that can be found at the top of the forum, on the right-hand side, just below the MMG header. (Go ahead and scroll up now, you will see it there. Now, when you open that search link, the choices on how and where you want to search can get a little confusing. I'm going to keep things pretty cut and dry. Select the options that I tell you to, and you should never have a problem with double posting again.... Let's start with the "Search Options" section of the search page- Step 1- Under "Where to Search", ALWAYS select: >>All Forums Why "All Forums"? A lot of programs listed here can fall into one or more subsections of the forum... This will ensure that if the program is listed ANYWHERE, you will find it. Step 2- Under the "Refine Search" section of "Search Options" (the right hand side), you will see a "Result Type" heading with 2 choices under it. ALWAYS select: Show results as posts. Why posts instead of titles? Because, every once in a while, someone forgets to put the name of the program in their title and we do usually give them some time to fix it before closing/deleting the thread... Now, go back up to the "Search Keywords" section of the Search page. My suggestion to you all is NOT to use the program title for your search words. If it is a title with more than 1 word in it, the system is going to search for each of those words independently as well as combined and give you more posts to sort through... I think that the best way to search is to use the link for the site (minus the www. in front of it and the .com/whatever at the end). For example, if you wanted to run a search for "Feeder Fund" (www.feederfund.com), just enter feederfund as 1 word in the search. Then, only posts with the Feeder Fund link will pop up.  Another important tip: If the site link that you are searching for has a symbol, such as a dash (-) in it, like e-hyip, put it in quotes like this, "e-hyip". If you don't, all programs that have that symbol in the name with be identified by the system as matches. So, just for review: 1)Click "Search" at the top of the forum 2) Select ">>All Forums" under "Where to Search" 3) Select "Show results as posts" under "Result type" 4)Use the site link (minus the www. and the .com) as your search keyword- If the link has a dash (-) or other symbol in it, such as e-hyip, put it in quotes like this: "e-hyip". Anyway, I hope this helps everyone understand how to use the search tool more effectively... I know that a lot of you would like to avoid getting warnings for double posting, and I am sure that I speak for the whole admin/mod staff when I say We would love to stop having to issue them!   Christy Thanks for the great tip christy Well Done

I really was curious as to how to find out before I think I am sharing something that is old news. indeed great tips just remember search for money makingnot always working because the indexing intself is wrong compare searching http://life-profit.com in HYIP section because they pays long time without stop toits mistaken indexing. http://www.moneymakergroup.com/Life-Profit-wwwlife-pr-t76569.html there are 1000's mistakes of not paying whom you find in paying.

Hi Christyn,
Brilliant, thank you. I just wish I had done a little bit more research to find out how many pages I would be printing to get a hard copy! Time to change the colour cartridge now Worth it though for the save on the heartache. Thanks again ps When I have worked out how to use the smilies, your name will be first on the list
That is of great help. can you use the search on all forums or just this one?
very useful
thank you very much for sharing. QUOTE(alexeow @ Nov 10 2005, 09:03 AM) [snapback]554076[/snapback] Good tips Christy! Keep up the good work! [b] Bravo you are very good looking and intelligent my dear.
This post was determined to be
& was edited by MMG Staff.Please keep MMG clean and follow our posting guidelines.   You offer very good plans for new investors I think so you will be rich if only you will be honest. Maybe I will be in.
most people do not search past the second page ..and if you have to post in the same topic its not fair because the person that posted first get all the benifits ..noone is going to search through the same post to signup from a post on page 10 are 5 its the first person thats first gets the benifet not fair its your rules.... its not fair, to make it fair rotate the topic but forums don't have that ...thats ok I want be posting here ..if you can delet my account I don't want to post in a forum thats not fair
Hi Christy,
I am a new member and just gone thro'your write up as well as Rules and Procedures. while every thing is clear, what baffles me a little is this "double posting ยจ what exactly is -double posting-? Is it the same topic like -computer,moneymaker group, betting, Hyip etc or the link which the posting person is using as his signature? For example if a member posts/replies in different forums of your site using the same signature ie. the same link, will it amount to double posting? Again,how is the warning issued? What is the meaning of warning [0%] with 5 blue squares following it? Kindly enlighten. Thanks. rmmurthy
ah oke nice tips, its working now for me
Thanks Christy for the great information.
