Is there a "Search" to dig up from the past topics? So ppl don't have to repeat themselves. Would be a nice touch to this Forum. Shouldn't be too hard to implement should it?
what are politics behind such an idea? |

Oh and the search feature wont help much, rookies have the habit of asking the same questions over and over and it keeps the veterans busy |

Anyway with the search function, I wish I could tell you when we can put it back on but the honest answer is that I don't know myself. It appears to be slowing the forum down and leading to crashes when it's used by too many people at once, so until Ziroc fixes that particular bug I guess we'll just have to presevere with it. I know what it feels like - it's frustrating having to spend 30 mins trying to find a post you made a few months ago (my Monsters of The Underdark epic, for example) when it could be anywhere from page 30 to page 60.

I wish I could use the search function too. [img]tongue.gif[/img] There are a lot of good threads by a motley crew of people that I like to refer newcomers to whenever it is relevant.
Saves a lot of time typing too. As it is, I am now bookmarking good threads for future reference. |
