But I like to start my own because not only does it keep the hive hopping but I get more personalized answers. </p> <p>I did search today for a thread and opted not to post my own :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/before-you-start-a-post-do-you-search-to-see-if-someone-started-a-similar-thread-in-the-past#post-788420 Thu, 16 May 2013 18:58:25 +0000 mrbee 788420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: Nope, not a hint! Just was starting a few threads this morning, and someone mentioned this in a comment... so I spun it off into a new thread! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/before-you-start-a-post-do-you-search-to-see-if-someone-started-a-similar-thread-in-the-past#post-788388 Thu, 16 May 2013 18:54:41 +0000 Mrs.Someone 788388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, but I don't start threads often.</p> <p>Is this a hint? ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/before-you-start-a-post-do-you-search-to-see-if-someone-started-a-similar-thread-in-the-past#post-788374 Thu, 16 May 2013 18:52:46 +0000 mrsjazz 788374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I'm on my computer, yes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/before-you-start-a-post-do-you-search-to-see-if-someone-started-a-similar-thread-in-the-past#post-788356 Thu, 16 May 2013 18:50:56 +0000 Boogs 788356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only if I'm on the computer, but I'm usually on my phone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/before-you-start-a-post-do-you-search-to-see-if-someone-started-a-similar-thread-in-the-past#post-788350 Thu, 16 May 2013 18:50:11 +0000 knittylady 788350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! Usually. I won't post unless it's something that seems like it could use an update or is just really old and I want new thoughts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/before-you-start-a-post-do-you-search-to-see-if-someone-started-a-similar-thread-in-the-past#post-788337 Thu, 16 May 2013 18:49:06 +0000 oliviaoblivia 788337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Too lazy. But I very rarely start threads. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/before-you-start-a-post-do-you-search-to-see-if-someone-started-a-similar-thread-in-the-past#post-788301 Thu, 16 May 2013 18:45:56 +0000 Bao 788301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to remember though, but sometimes I forget and just post the question. If I do search, and it's over 6 months old, I will post again to get new answers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/before-you-start-a-post-do-you-search-to-see-if-someone-started-a-similar-thread-in-the-past#post-786674 Thu, 16 May 2013 13:48:18 +0000 illumina 786674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes, mostly if it's a really specific question like a symptom or particular non-baby related topic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/before-you-start-a-post-do-you-search-to-see-if-someone-started-a-similar-thread-in-the-past#post-786670 Thu, 16 May 2013 13:46:55 +0000 T.H.O.U. 786670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to search especially on te computer. I agree though if its old or didn't have a lot of replies then I post again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/before-you-start-a-post-do-you-search-to-see-if-someone-started-a-similar-thread-in-the-past#post-786669 Thu, 16 May 2013 13:46:54 +0000 StbHisMrs 786669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most of the time I do, if it's been ask but not recently I'll start a new thread. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/before-you-start-a-post-do-you-search-to-see-if-someone-started-a-similar-thread-in-the-past#post-786666 Thu, 16 May 2013 13:46:14 +0000 Modern Daisy 786666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd rather not start a thread if I don't have to so yes I do search first. A lot of the thread topics I would have started I usually ask on my due date twin thread. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/before-you-start-a-post-do-you-search-to-see-if-someone-started-a-similar-thread-in-the-past#post-786644 Thu, 16 May 2013 13:43:56 +0000 immabeetoo 786644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, if it is something specific! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/before-you-start-a-post-do-you-search-to-see-if-someone-started-a-similar-thread-in-the-past#post-786625 Thu, 16 May 2013 13:41:37 +0000 BSB 786625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes. It depends if I'm just looking for a simple answer or if I want to responses from current users. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/before-you-start-a-post-do-you-search-to-see-if-someone-started-a-similar-thread-in-the-past#post-786623 Thu, 16 May 2013 13:41:24 +0000 Pepper 786623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to. If the thread is pretty old, or didn't get a lot of replies, I figure it's fair game to ask everyone again. I do sometimes find answers through searching before I post anything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/before-you-start-a-post-do-you-search-to-see-if-someone-started-a-similar-thread-in-the-past#post-786617 Thu, 16 May 2013 13:40:59 +0000 autumnlove 786617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only if I'm on the computer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/before-you-start-a-post-do-you-search-to-see-if-someone-started-a-similar-thread-in-the-past#post-786610 Thu, 16 May 2013 13:39:58 +0000 Dandelion 786610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I look for recent ones. If they're from 2012 or before, I make a new one for fresh answers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/before-you-start-a-post-do-you-search-to-see-if-someone-started-a-similar-thread-in-the-past#post-786609 Thu, 16 May 2013 13:39:51 +0000 MrsKoala 786609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/before-you-start-a-post-do-you-search-to-see-if-someone-started-a-similar-thread-in-the-past#post-786605 Thu, 16 May 2013 13:39:34 +0000 Foodnerd81 786605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do, but sometimes my search terms fail me-- in those cases I'm always happy when someone points me to the old thread. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/before-you-start-a-post-do-you-search-to-see-if-someone-started-a-similar-thread-in-the-past#post-786601 Thu, 16 May 2013 13:39:17 +0000 Mrsbells 786601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>sometimes?

If I'm on the phone I won't check but if I'm on a computer, sometimes I'll do a quick search!</p> <p>Before you start a new thread on the boards, do you search to see if someone started a similar thread in the past? </p>
