Default Re: The New Forum Software!

Thanks for seconding there.

I believe the "search" functionality is the single most important functional aspect of a forum like this. I say this not to want to rant or criticize unneedingly (since the folks here are doing a GREAT job!), but because it is important, especially for "newbies". How many times have we written something to the effect like "use the search function to search for XYZ, your questions will be answered very well there!" -- this is no longer a real option. I have still been unsuccessful in finding particular threads which I *know* are out there, imagine how this must be for someone who doesnt know they are there.
Sorry for the criticism, otherwise a GREAT job here, I just wish that the search functionality could be optimized (or simply reverted to the old forum type, that worked well).
