I've noticed that when someone asks a question, and the answer is in a nother post the answer usually is "I just pulled up this post after five seconds it's called [enter post topic here], get off your lazy butt and do things for yourself"
It's never bothered me until I realized I needed help with something that was common so i decided to search for it...a few posts gave me this: "Go check the sticky in this other board" which is fine, until you check the date...2003, the stickys have changed in that board, IT'S NOT THERE! now i'll never know what that awesome sticky was
thanks guys! how long will it take you to just COPY THE STUPID URL!

anyway, that was really fun

How long will it take you to use the "search" function for the said sticky?

my point exactly...

"Go to the sticky thread made by so-n-so" doesnt tell me which topic to seach for...

i'm sorry, but if you're looking for a post for someone, COPY THE STUPID URL, else you might see someone posting the same questions OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER again..

On the other hand, hyperlinks date too, when the forum urls (internal or external) change. It's a bit of a paradox
