    Hi,

    Unless I'm completely blind and I'm not seeing it, how come there's no search function in forums and threads on the new site? It can be a real pain in trying to find a particular post especially if you might remember a phrase or sentence from that post and you want to find it quickly. Instead you end up having to scroll through page after page to look for it. The old site had a search function so are there plans to bring it back?

    Thanks.

    There is a magnifying glass up in the right hand corner, next to the bell icon. I don't make much use of it.

    It exists. It's just that it's about as useful as a chocolate teapot compared to the previous boards.ie search functionality.


    Just another in the long list of **** that was totally screwed by the "update" and won't ever be fixed.


    Good job, all involved.
