Blanksms Forums Information

Hi everyone,

Before posting a question on BLANKSMS, SEARCH first, to see if the question/answer is already available.

Just as with a Google web search, it is hugely useful to spend a few minutes becoming conversant with the ways to find what you want.

With any search, expect to try maybe 2 or 3 times, as you refine what/where you want to search. If you get too MANY results, then search again with more specific criteria. If you get too FEW (or none!) then WIDEN your scope a little.

To search just BLANKSMS (i.e. NOT the whole internet) use the SEARCH at top right of every page (Help, Search, Members, Calendar).

WHERE to Search:- Either leave as the default, which is ALL Forums on BLANKSMS, or you can specify just one specific area.

WHAT to Search For:- First, to learn the syntax for this particular search engine, check HEREHERE.
The most common one I use is "phrase".
If for example your query is about nokia problem, just entering nokia will show every post with offline in it, AND every post with messages in it.
To stop this, enter keyword as "nokia model no." (i.e. WITH the quotes).


E X A M P L E :
You want to know if particular ringtone or problem is available in downloads section.

Go to Search.
Your query is specific to ringtones only, so limit your search to "ringtone".

Start by entering keyword: status, then "Perform the Search".
Yikes, this gives about 250 hits. You CAN wade thru all these checking the topic names if you like, but better is now to search AGAIN, being more specific, so...

Try with keywords: ringtone songname.

Ahhhh! This produces a nice comfortable 7 items to look at, and a quick scroll shows 1 that sounds exactly right. So click on that title and browse the topic. smile.gif

IF that answers your question, great!
If NOT, then perhaps open a new topic and post YOUR question - but generally even better post a new REPLY in that thread, so all info about that subject remains together and easy to find for those that come later.

I hope this helps!

Hello
it seems like more and more people use computer for their work and not only for that. But how many hours do you usually spend at the computer?
As for me I used to spend really much time working at my PC but after a while I just realized that my friends need my attention much more than computer does
Has anyone checked out: Facebook App Maker?

Well atleast they are ACTUALY making a profit.
N900 FYI has had SO MUCH demand that NOKIA are having to make it available in more countries. Ive never heard of an SE having that type of reception.
SE take TOO LONG with ALL their high ends. Atleast we can name a whole bunch of NOKIAs that came out in no time,but SE? It goes all the way back to P990,maybe even further.

Im not sure about Yahoo, but the Google search engine is quite complex. It is based on number of hits, how close the text on the page is to your query, and more importantly, the number of sites already indexed by Google linking to each of the sites in the search results. There are other things involved too but I dont know them all.
