Default The Search Function and Fornication

Just starting this thread after the conversation in the SB.

It would be great if the forum search function was more visible (in particular not a drop down, it is a basic function after all ) I'm unobservant and have no excuse for missing it, but new users who are notorious for not using this have even less of a chance of finding it than I did.

Anyways, now it is here

Well, I know you're frustrated, but there's no need to give your thread such a rude title.... LOL

To quote Kosta himself when he implemented the chat box:

"And I like the fact that the dropdown menu is hard to find. It's like an extra to those who have the patience and are methiculous enough to find it."

I however have no oppinion on either it is a good or a bad thing.

That's where this came out of yeah, a discussion about that. Requests I think it was.

Also EoF so what if Kosta said that? it's a basic function and it wouldn't hurt to make it more obvious.

Weren't we talking about the chatbox dropdown menu?

Was the first post of this thread edited while I typed my post?

Nope, this was always about the forum search function. I did however leave out a vital letter in "function" in the original thread title.

Believe me EoF, I know were we both stand on the shout box and everything related to it, by the way, we've missed you there
