I think that 75% of the guys responding to the "Check this Monster thread should learn the difference between Knuckles, Shovels, and Ironheads before they are allowed to post in there.

In all fairness, the confusion is understandable with anything built by Arlen Mess.

Huh??

Knowledge base...isn't that what this website is already? Can't someone just search to find the same thing? What am I not seeing?

You mean things like duct taping a Kotex on a leaking transmission?

I think it will eventually replace the search engine which is a good thing.

If you look at the very top of the webpage, in the black band there is a link to the HD Knowledge Base. It looks like they are putting a lot of threads relating to the same subject in KB. Saves time because you may not have to work through the search function. I think it is a good idea, put good threads in an easy to find location.

I think it's kind of a good thing, good start, that could become a great feature to finding info that you are searching for. The "search" feature has never worked so great for me. I know and hear that others get it to work for them, but it always seems to be a pain for me. So I hope the Knowledge thing expands, and grows into a great tool that we can all benefit from. I mean I'd love to be in the middle of a project, have a question, and be able to just come in and look up the issue and find a number of ways to solve my questions or concerns. FWIW...
