What's scooters got to do with anything?
a chat server with several categories..
Make it so you dont have to scroll the page left to right to read a post when someone has posted a really long URL or a large picture 
Really bugs me

This is easily solved if the URL is done as a BBcode URL, and the image posted as a thumbnail if its too big.RF Lighting said:Make it so you dont have to scroll the page left to right to read a post when someone has posted a really long URL or a large picture

What about changing the search results back to how they were?
I find it hard trying to read the new version, at least when it was in alternating shdes of wht ever colur the background is they were easier to see which was which post,
now its all in black and white

I know that. Seems that some folk don't though.
The new(ish?) search seems to be worse than the old one. I can't see any way to search within a forum and have things come back in date order.
And it often doesn't find things it should.
I have failed to find everything I've tried to find, so far.
In short it's no use at all.

yep, i second that
It does not find all instances of the term "RCBO" and not the most recent ones. I think this may be because it has not built a secondary index recently.
The search is nor sorted by date (increasing or decreasing) which I would have found convenient. it is not sorted by topic name either, and I can't see what order it is in.
e.g.
"Your search - rcbo and mem and mate - did not match any documents"

ChrisR, I'm sorry you don't like the new search, can you give me some examples of what searches have given no results?
JohnD, the current indexes are being built periodically, and not as frequently as they will be once certain things have been ironed out. A new index is being built as I type so by the end of the day it will be refreshed. The frequency of the re-indexing will be increased over the coming weeks, so there will be less lag in the results.
As far a limiting results to an area of the forum, this is possible and should be added soon.
Ordering by date is a different kettle of fish, currently the results are ordered by closest match, but I will look into it.
