I was just watching a video and had a problem with a challenge. When googling this challenge I always come back to a forum topic. But wouldn't it be awesome if every question that is ever asked is linked under a challenge or video so people can check out earlier answers instead of asking their own question? Because this is probably filling alot of space here on the forum. When people could see what has been done in earlier topics they won't ask the same question twice and have their answer right when they want it.
Ofcourse you could say that you would be giving them an answer too quickly but you could provide a disclaimer that says: "Only click on these forum topics when you have no further options".

70,280 PointsThis functionality sort of exists already. When you ask a question from a specific video/challenge, it gets tagged with that video/challenge. You can see these tags to the right of what specific forum the question is posted in (ruby, general discussion, etc.) If you click on one of these tags it shows you every other question with that tag. You can also search for a specific video/challenge on the forums, and usually you can find what you're looking for - although it might be faster to simply use google.
I think a lot of the repetitive topics is due to people not taking the time to look through the forum.
