When asking a question, didn't Fluther used to give previous questions that might answer your question?

I cannot speak with authority on this, but my experience is that other jellies have recalled similar questions and posted a link. I am not aware of a programmed response to offer a link to an old thread.

Does this question answer your question? (Asked by me two months ago)

Yep, that looks like the answer I was looking for @jca (And by association @ibstubro)

Yes. It’s been broken for some time.

Fluther seems like what they used to say about FORD (Fix Or Repaired Daily)
