LHammonds Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 If you see a post somebody makes and you bang your head and scream "why don't you just use Google to find it!!!" then please do not convey that exact feeling but instead gently nudge them by utilizing this site: http://lmgtfy.com/ 1. Go to that site2. Type in what you want them to type and click Search3. Copy the generated URL and paste it into a reply post. Example Reply #1: How to find OBSE download Example Reply #2: How to find Akatosh Mount to download If you find that you use this a lot, you can save the following text somewhere that you can quickly copy/paste and simply add on the search parameters with a plus sign (+) separating each. http://lmgtfy.com/?q= http://lmgtfy.com/?q=akatosh+mount+download Have fun helping newbies level up!LHammonds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Povuholo Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Because people were overusing this on the official Bethesda forums there is a censor thing in place now which automatically changes every lmgtfy link is to google.com :P Much like how you can't say Morrowind sucks or Oblivion sucks on the forums without it changing to 'is the greatest game in the history of the universe.'.

AzirAphale001 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Much like how you can't say Morrowind sucks or Oblivion sucks on the forums without it changing to 'is the greatest game in the history of the universe.'.But for some reason you are allowed to say "Fallout 3 sucks". Hmm...I think I may have to bookmark that page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maharg67 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 As a newbie a big challenge was where to post a particular question about using the forums. I got very good assistance a fair few times from other people and surprisingly enough some of those who helped me were other newbies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
