    Talking "Search" facility

    Hail, O Mighty Forum Overlords!

    To date, I've been relatively content with the excellent work you've been dispensing

    However, having said that, there are times when I wish to bring up a particular subject but stopped myself; for "fear" that the subject might've been broached before and I'd (by implication) be labelled as being too lazy (which in fact I am ) to scour the forum for the relevant thread.

    So for convenience sake (subject to the limitations of whatever software you're running) and to assuage my fragile ego, would it be at all possible to implement a search feature in the forum to accommodate lazy people such as myself?

    Regards,

    Malek

    Upon bending over backwards we fail to see what we've already done to accommodate folks.

    Such is life eh?

    Hmmm, i guess everyone is different. Just had a basic look at this thread from the beginning & kind of skipped through it

    Tbh i don't think there are too many 'rooms' as some like to call them

    I have been on quite a few forums & in all honesty it did take me a while to work out where to post stuff as imo there aren't that many at all Once you get round the rather obscure (but aptly named) sections it all begins to make some sense.

    I was a mod on a couple of forums (nothing to do with hifi or music) & these all had far more sections & subsections on the sections Strangely this made some sense, it took me a good week or two to find the right areas here to go about my business without fear of getting stuff moved.

    All good things come to those who have a little patience Speaking from someone who is or used to be used to about 50 sections on a forum or more.

    One thing i have noticed is that there are a good quantity of extremely nice people on here. I have been & still am involved with certain people that i have met elsewhere on other forums, though i have never gotten to the stage of actually trading with any other forum members except on here. It appears to be a given thing that no-one is going to mess anyone else about. Though it's the butt end of 'forum police' jokes i actually think that getting members to provide a basic location & first name is a damn good thing, it gets it on a more personal level & this is where trust is gained.

    It appears to be a rather good place to be

    Me, i just want to say well done to Marco, the admin & mod team A big thumbs up to all the members that make this place what it is to, no members = no forum

    Not that the mods have much work to do imo Take it from me, you have a very nice life here as a mod, unless i'm missing something? nono.gif

    If i can think of anything that might improve things here i'll speak up rather than just praising the place
    Bests, Mark

    I can hear Elton's dulcet tones in the distance - Can you Feel the Love Tonight... Heck, I'm even playing George Michael (really!) so a manly group hug with plenty of back patting (and nothing else!) is in order!
