Hey MoFos.
As most of you know, duplicate threads can be a bit of a problem around here. In some cases, this is fine, as older topics have run their course, but most of the time there are recently-used threads on a given subject, and duplicates are the result of carelessness.
To help cut down on this, I've installed a small modification that takes the title of a new thread and searches for similar threads automatically. If you feel like giving it a try, just hit the New Thread button in any forum, enter a title, and click anywhere outside of the title field.
It's hard to say if this will significantly cut down on duplicate threads, of course. After all, if someone's inconsiderate to post "what are ur fav scary movies???" without searching first, they may well be inconsiderate enough to gloss over the list of simialr threads below their title. But I thought it was worth a try, and it's a cool little feature, besides. :)
