Does a thread of the same topic already exists?

[elixir]

I have an idea, but I might be a bad idea of course

Anyway, I was just thinking that sometimes when you want to start a new thread I might be quite difficult to find out if a thread of the same topic already exists. Maybe some people are just too lazy to look around and see, but sometimes it's difficult even if you search carefully - the thread might have a name that in some ways doesn't suit the topic or something is discussed on the pages 134-137 of some thread for example - try to find it then...

But my idea was just that what about having a thread where members can come and ask others if a thread of some topic already exists (and where is it?)

Maybe then moderators won't have to close so many threads and their lives would be easier?

Anyway, if it's not a good idea or if a thread of THIS topic already exists then please close or, even better, delete this one.
