   Google Search before submiting a new thread
  In the form for submiting a new thread, an checkbox like:[ ] Have you googled for this question?And a link/button: "Google the thread title before posting".Originally I had tought of a bot that would run the search by itself (in google or in the forum history) and post the results, but it may be too inacurate/annoying.   
Actually, the MSDN forums had something like this at some point. While you would be typing your post, it'd take the title you entered, run this as a forum search and display the results off to the side. Obviously it's not a magic cure, but it'd be less annoying than a checkbox and would be more helpful rather than some barrier.But I guess we'll have to wait for V7 for that [smile]Completely offtopic: what's up with these huge adds when posting btw? Posters are providing the content to this forum, why spam them?
