It really bugs me when I do a search on the forum and the results are just a mish-mash of useless links. For example: I wanted to read all posts that had the word "Gers" in it. I entered "gers" into the search field (no quotation marks) and I got a load of results to do with "fingers", "angers", "teenagers" etc etc. So I tried 'Gers' and "Gers" (single and double quotes), I tried adding a space before or after, and it found none. Pointless . Most modern discussion boards allow to search for words, phrases, exact macthes etc. I HATE the way this forum threads discussions. Modern forums (fora?) give the user options about the way things are displayed and, most important, will indicate which posts are new, not just which threads contain a new post. It is most annoying running down a list that is not alphanumeric to find the latest posts on a subject. Whoever is in charge of this website, please - the world has moved on from the clunky dcforum perl script you are using. There are some fabulous FREE PHP/mySQL forums out there and they are a doddle to install. There are even tools that will help you migrate users and content. This forum has so much valuable information in it yet it is a right royal pain in the whatever to find it and then read it . Finally (and this is really just a personal whinge - DO SOMETHING ABOUT THOSE CRAPPY 1990s SMILEYS!!!! They are just so awful! You need updated ones like these: http://www.arcania.info/forum/posting.php?mode=smilies But seriously, check out this phpBB forum: http://arcania.info/forum/. Forget about the way it looks (which is great, but it's been highly customised). It is just simply a joy to use and in its standard uncustomised form looks just as great - people love it, and will in turn love the people who install and maintain it. I mentioned all of this to Trevor Yorke at the last Living France seminar (or was it the one before that) but I guess he doesn't carry as much weight as I thought -- Frank The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without the effort." - Emile Zola (1840 - 1902)
