ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    The search function enrages me

    So anytime I want to look up something more than 2 words it says to retry or something about it being too long, and if it is just a single word, it comes up with 20 pages of trash, and other useless threads. I tried going through all 20 pages and after 13 it says "Sorry no matches found" I click 14, 15, etc. and it still says the same, I try and go to previous pages... and of course, the same thing. Worst of all is when you try and refresh the page, it says that and there is almost no going back to where you were. Is there reason for this??? I love when people complain and tell others to use the search function, it works great sometimes, but others it is just useless. Any suggestions?

    Try using Google Search Basics (see below). It works alot better than the forum search feature.

    For Example:

    [ hood site:cb7tuner.com ] in this case it is only searching cb7tuner.com for the word hood.

    [ "hood pins" site:cb7tuner.com ] in this case it is only searching cb7tuner.com for the exact phrase "hood pins"

    then you can use + - to exclude and include words to your searches. Read the link below to learn how to use them.

    Here are some basic search basics that can help you find what you want faster.

        I always HAVE to use advanced google search for terms under 3 letters.

        Plus google has better features...like -

        and "safe search=off"

          The "advanced search" and "Search Tittles Only" button are there for a reason.

            At least some people try to search...

            So many noobs say "I serched but it dont work so i'm askin here... wut moter can go in my cb7?"



            A search should ALWAYS begin by going to the specific area of the site that is related to your question, reading the "sticky" thread at the top, and making sure that the answer to your question isn't listed there... because very often, it is.

            THEN you go to the search. The vBulletin search feature is pretty lousy, and try as I might, I'm never able to compile the entire database without it freezing on me... so it's never been 100% right.

            The Google search has found threads that are less than a day old. Makes life easy.
