I agree with ETPhoneHome's suggestion in the post just before yours PLEASE DON"T PUT QUESTIONS, DISCUSSION in the Tips & Tricks thread- so here's a suggestion, which I've made before. You see a great tip, it doesn't work right for you, you search on a keyword or two to see if anyone has posted, you don't find anything. Start a new discussion thread about that tip - BONUS - you can be the first poster in that thread. And you can put a hyperlink in your post that refers participants back to the original tip, so you don't have to repeat that post to explain things to folks.

And, Tips and Tricksters! When you make a post in the Tips & Tricks thread, if it's as a result of an already existing thread on some topic, PLEASE, put a hyperlink in your tip to the appropriate place in that already existing discussion thread.

If we all are thoughtful about researching our posts and linking them, we can have a tidy little universe like Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (you can get anywhere, find anything through 6 links -just kidding!)

Perhaps too if your tip or trick is really major and you realize there is going to be a ton of discussion, e.g. how to install Windows 7 on your Omnia, you as the tip poster could kill two birds with one stone, post the tip in Tips & Tricks, start a new thread for discussion, and put links in each post crossreferencing the tip to the new thread and vice-versa.

Other suggestions on being organized, including effective ways to search are in this thread: http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/samsu...ing-forum.html

You can search a thread, the forum, the whole pdaPhoneHome site, and you can search very generally, showing only threads, or specifically, showing individually posts depending on whether you use Advanced Search or not and how you configure it.

P.S. The wife says Six degrees of separation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia came way before Kevin Bacon.
