With the search function not functioning there seems to be an epic number of dupe threads and it's getting ridiculous folks. When you are creating a topic, there should be a list of similar topics at the bottom of the "Create a Topic" page, LOOK AT THEM. And remember to follow battle forum rules. If your battle is Lex Luthor versus Superman, similar answers should include battles that have "vs" in them, but you should also be aware that you should be using "vs" as opposed to "versus" to begin with.

Another (and possibly easier) way to search for battles is to go to google, type in the battle you are looking for and then type comicvine and hit "enter." An example would be: "doomsday vs wolverine comicvine". This way of searching, does however, restrict the amount of results that you get.
 
Just because the search bar is not working, this does not give you license to create battles that common sense says have already happened.

I might be misunderstanding. It seems as though you are annoyed that someone is trying to be helpful to the users and assist in the betterment of the site as a whole.

one way of making battle threads that are unique is by doing ones with teams, another is by having an OP with rules that nobody would think of in a million years.

The staff are busy. There have been a lot of bugs and updates this last week with the new quest system. They'll have it fixed as soon as they can.

@Edamame:  Most users have found them to be enjoyable. I don't see any cons from the added features, besides a few bugs. But that is to be expected with any new feature.

You're welcome :) And I'm aware of the rules and regulations area (the one in the gen. discussion forum), but thought that this thread would serve a better purpose and be more easily accessible if it were in the battles forum because people who are on the battle forum don't want to necessarily have to check other parts of the site to learn how to do something that has to do with battles and apparently whoever pinned this thread agreed with me :D If you want me to re-write the OP and make it more general, like how to search for threads as opposed to how to search for battles, I could do that, and post it in gen. discussion or editing & tools?
