I recently joined this forum to learn more about cryptocurrency. At first, I was reading and browsing through the forum a lot, trying to understand the concepts. I had so many questions and taught about creatin new topics to ask, but then I noticed the search bar at the top of the forum. I tried using it and found that most of my questions had already been answered in previous threads.
Since then, it's been easy for me to find answers to my questions without needing to create new topics. I wanted to share this tip with other new members who may have questions but aren't sure where to start. You can create a new topic to ask your question, but I've found that searching through old threads provides a more comprehensive understanding of the topic.
Think of the forum as a resource where almost everything you can think of has already been discussed. Using the search bar can get you accurate and helpful answers to your questions.
There is no harm in asking questions about what you want to know about the forum even if a topic have been created about it because there are some topics that the information contained in it are outdated or maybe were only helpful as at the time the OP created such topics but however, you may not actually get every question you want by merely using the search area so by asking directly can make forum users give you a direct and precise answer then if it's about a topic that has been discussed before, other users who have come across it can still reference you to such a thread and you can lock the one you created besides beginners may not actually understand how the search area works so it definitely gonna take them some time before they can get used to it.
However using the search bar is also very important as it minimizes spams and creation of repeated topics and discussions and it also helps in moderation of the forum without having to task moderators so much in locking repeated topics that have existed before.
