I have a few suggestions to improve the site, if possible:

1. The window titles, where it typically says "Laser Pointer Forums - For Laser Discussion - [insert your browser]", it would be convenient if the title was changed depending on where you are, like if you're looking at a PM, say something like "Laser Pointer Forums - private message", or if your looking at a thread it says "Laser Pointer Forum - [insert thread title] page X". I've seen it on other forums, and it makes it easier if you want to go back a few pages and find the right one.

2. It would be cool if there was some way to sort your PMs, like you do email... I get A LOT, so it would be nice if I could sort by sender so I could follow our conversation back in case i forgot something.

3. The search function isn't very helpful... it would be nice to get 'pages' of results rather than just 10. Also, it doesn't seem to work (ever) if I try to search for something by an author. Also, never tried it, but is there any way to use 'modifiers' for search, like you can on google or ebay, such as searching for one of multiple words while also having words you DON'T want to include?

yeah I'll have to agree on the searching, it's a bit hard to navigate or find what you want. we could always just add the google search for now, it'l get you where you want. :)

there is no modification on boardmod that can fix the window titling, or the PMs

i increased the amount of results returned on a search to 25- the reason it was low before was because lots of searches can potentially slow down the site if the results returned is too high. we can give it a test with 25, i think it will be fine

i dont know if modifiers work in search, im going to check boardmod to see if there are any good mods available to improve the searching. we could always add a google search box to the site if necessary

talk soon
