On a "First Impression" topic, if a potential player goes to MMF, the dates of all the categories under Announcements (other than Vern's update) give the impression that this is not an active Message Board. Some may scroll down to see the rest of the site, but some may just click off and go elsewhere. Perhaps the Announcement area could just have "New!" (or something like that) when there is something new and delete those old dates in the other categories? It's just something that always bothers me - perhaps no one else!!

Hi All,

Wouldn't it be a lot easier just to fix the little search window at the top so that it does find all the dialogue about the CM or MM in question or any other topic.

That way, we don't have to search and search and search all the topics for info.

ie:  on my IBS forum, all I have to do is type in a word or two and the search produces ALL posts containing that word.  My search is then cut down to those dialogues.  Much quicker and more efficient. 

Unfortunately here, we use short forms a lot  ie:  MM, CM, etc.  but at least, if the search window was more efficient,  it would  group all posts and dialogues containing the text typed into it, even if short forms are typed in.  yes? no?

BTW, I got permission to post MM on the IBS board.  Raving how it kept my sanity during my bouts with insomnia and my mind off of being sick. Which it really did.

I hope it boosts up traffic and sales.  Keep in mind, not everyone owns a iMac......so I also raved about iMac ownership versus PC.......hee,heee,heee.......so far they haven't deleted it and the views are climbing.

Hi Brell,

Yes, if I type in a CM's name I do not get all the post for that name.   I just did it for "The Wall"  4 posts came up, highlighting "the" mainly......"wall" appeared actually in my post mentioning it.

But, all the posts pertaining tp the CM "The Wall"  did not show up.

Hope this helps.

A good search-system in any software should be obvious.

But since many many many posts do NOT contain e.g. the name of the mansion that they are about, one will still be missing most posts.

I will contact Vern of ActionSoft. Not specifically about this issue (alone). But, as far as I know, our software is still YaBB 2.2 and there have been THREE updates yet. It feels obvious to ask him to install version 2.2.3 for our MMF.

Let us hope that several things will become (even) better.
