Reply To: PLEASE (please) — [Please!] : Implement Forum Searching

Allen, while you make excellent points, please remember that part of my personal goal in life is to ensure that nothing is too easy for you. I want things to be easy, sure, and fun! But not too easy, because then I would be depriving you of valuable character-building experiences. As my grandmother said to me, “nothing important was ever easy.”

Now, that said, I do agree that our search feature on this site sucks eggs (what the heck does that phrase even mean?!) and I am definitely working with our web developers to make it better. I only ask that you a) have faith; b) keep bugging me from time to time by replying to this thread; c) provide constructive criticism on how we can make it better.

And in your post above, you have done exactly that. I honestly hadn’t even considered the question of finding the “forum profile” features. We definitely should make that easier to get to!

That said, we DO have a forum search feature… it’s just buried in plain view, where no one ever looks: At the top level of the forums. That is, if you click “Forums” in the breadcrumb at the top of the page, or go to https://creativepro.com/forums/ you’ll see a search field. Try typing your name in there!
