Similar Discussions: Can we try to bring them at one place?

I have seen several similar discussions threads are there... Is there any way in myLot to link all those so that we can have better discussions and all can be found at a single place? Even I had opened a discussion as newbie with my questions which I found later was answered in older discussions too.. I don't know who manages myLot but it will be great whenever we are going to open a new Discussion thread myLot provides the suggestions of the similar discussions which are already there so that we can constrain ourselves opening a new thread and response on the existing one. What do you think about it?

If you are looking for a post on a certain topic you can use the search feature. I used to use this at the old mylot every time before I wrote a new post.

@ichchhe_mrityu On the old days of mylot we were not supposed to start our own post asking the same question we were supposed to comment on the post someone else created already instead of creating a new one. That would keep from having a bunch of extremely similar posts. I always made sure to follow that rule although a lot of others didn't.

There isn't a category section but it'd be nice if there were.

Just use the search option. Tags are what link discussions so maybe do a tag search.

@ichchhe_mrityu once you add tags there are similar discussions in the right of the screen. before you write a topic just do a search...no more time consuming than writing a discussion topic.
