Kevin's Watch

How about a search function so I don't post a new subject that already been posted a hundred times before. Just a thought. I'm not someone who could do this myself, so I don't mean to put extra work on you bosses!

Well, maybe I do.

We have one. The icon is right under the main banner (on my screen, right under the K). Easy to miss.

Sometimes it's a little buggy, but there's always google.

--It would be a cool feature if you (easily) find what a certain poster had posted in a certain topic.

For example, if I wanted to read all of Danlo's thoughs in a thread about the Sunbane for example, I don't want to have to look over ALL of Danlo's posts, or have to read the entire thread (if it's a long thread)...would this be difficult to create?

You'd search for "sunbane", put "danlo" in the username line, and select results as "posts". You'd have to do a little work yourself to pick out posts that are from the particular topic you were looking for, but it's something in the right direction.

Beyond that, you're looking at a pretty major overhaul of the message board, to end up with something like you get on a vBulletin, which does have a search this forum/search this thread feature.

I think we'll go with the option where you do a little work rather than me doing a lot of work. Heh.

Anyway, Murrin's suggestion was pretty good.-jay

How much work would it be for the smock to add "search titles only"? It makes a heck of a lot of sense, is kind of annoying that it is missing, and probably is what FrankELF is looking for.

The title doesn't always tell you what the topic is about. I'd say title+message text makes more sense than just title.

I'd like the title of a thread aswel, if thats possible. Sometimes i know the thread title but cant find the thread.

No, but sometimes you're interested in discovering if there already is a thread about something. If you find one based on the title, then you know. If you don't, well, probably no one will fault you for creating a new thread. (And I ditto the remember the title can't find it problem).

Crap, that didn't work at all.

Crappy mod.-jay

(Double post to bump)

Yay, that worked. Take that, sucky mod. I found a better mod to replace you!-jay

Happy dance!

Either you're playing classical music at 78 RPM or I'm still dreaming.-jay
