Probably said before but the forum is well out of date and a bugger to keep putting my password in and keep logging in maybe an upgrade to phpBB 2.0.5/6 cause it realy is "dated" sofware you are running realy spoils the fourm!

Have you contributed towards esato so they can pay for such an upgrade?

i actually prefer the old version of phpbb...
phpbb2 is too arty and crap.
plus upgrading the forum means updating all the mods that has been put on.. reinstalling the database etc etc...
tis too much hassle to do that on a forums that is so popular

LOL! phpBB is a free forum 100% to license needed unlike most. An upgrade would be easy very easy, ask for image well you can get new skins. Also phpBB 2.2 is the next bug release of the forum so this one will be 3 years old.

well I don't know about phpBB etc but the one biggest thing I would like to change here is the search. I'm quite adept and searching but I find I spend much more time than needed because it excludes so many words.
I had an example yesterday where someone listed a specific error message and I knew I had seen that before so I fed it into the search and the search excluded 4 of the 6 words! One of the remaining words was phone so you can imagine how many pages of search results I had to go through to find what I was looking for only to find that it really did have all the words I was after!
aaaarrrggghhh!

I've often wondered what is up with the search on this forum. Frequently I've entered an exact phrase from a post only a few days old and it can't find it. I hadn't realised it was excluding words...
I often end up listing all posts by a particular user (if I can recall who posted it) in order to find what I distinctly remember reading...
Oh well... entering search terms is a bit of an art form!
