what is with the search thing, when i want to search for all the topics ive posted i have to enter the
Search By Registered Member Number: thingee which i dont get, WHAT IS A REGESTERED MEMBER NUMBER!!???

Look under your proifile - yr number is 3552.
Member number if I'm not mistaken is a unique number assigned to each person who registers at IW forum.
You can't search by member names any mroe :( - now you'll have to know his/her member #.

Another thing about the search option is that it will only look through the threads in which people have posted after the upgrade... Which is a tad bit annoying as well. If you're really looking for old threads, there's no other way than spitting through the hundreds of pages already there, or pray you've got a good idea of when it was posted... ;)
