So I'm just curious, I'm fairly new and was just wondering if these boards are kept in it's archaic state intentionally? How come there are no search features or last post type info? Maybe I missed reading it somewhere...------------------ I didn't fail the test, I just found 100 ways to do it wrong. IP: Logged |

If I went through the tedious task of pruning all posts older than 6 months while sorting through the important ones to keep, we can have search. We would lose a lot of good stuff, and no one would agree on what to keep. I want to keep everything. Upgrading loses our smilies in all prior posts. ------------------ "I have found a desire within myself that no experience in this world can satisfy; the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world." -C.S.

So, it's either significantly prune (or manually sort through and create archives) or upgrade and turn the board into a bunch of broken smilie links (showing nothing but an "X")...or waive search. ------------------ "I have found a desire within myself that no experience in this world can satisfy; the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world." -C.S.

Or...maybe you get someone to help you with the tedious tasks (like creating archives) What is the point of having all that valuable info if it takes you forever to find it? IP: Logged |
