Is there a plug in to encourage members to search first before posting?

Some sort of pop up?

Like. hey! This is your 1st, (2nd, 3rd etc) post, have you thought about using the search engine first? And joining an existing thread?

Thanks

(can I use notices in the VB 3.7 to do this? (scuse me if I am being dumb...)

ofcourse you can use notices for that. why looking for plugins when vb has it all !

There are modifications that check for similar threads, after the newbie enters a title. However this only works for small boards, because post cache needs to be turned off.

Thanks guys!

Yeah, I just created a notice, but I wouldn't mind a pop up reminder for people with low post counts creating a new thread..

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
