Search String Length and Quoting

Postby Smo on Thu Jan 10, 2008 3:59 pm

FAO Mr. AdrianFRST, I guess :bonkers:

Ok, two things...

I've noticed since the update that you can no longer search for 3 character long strings, only 4+. Makes searching for things such as "ABS", "LSD" or "ATB", etc, very difficult!

And the other thing...

When you're writing a post, and therefore at the screen where you're actually typing it, if you scroll down to another post in that topic and press "Quote", it will add the post quote to the current new post being written, and then automatically return you to the index page. If you go back, it will still be there, but rather annoying nonetheless :(

Cheers,

Simon :)

Seconded on the search function. I mean I can't search XXX any more :-?

:lol:

Seriously though - would come in handy to have it reduced to 3 characters...
