    See, this is why we developers generally ignore user feedback. Y'all have been complaining for years about the site search, so I spend my weekend fixing it and in the 6-7 hours since it went live, six people have used it (two of whom were testing it for me, and one was me). That's even less than would normally be using it on a Sunday.



    D
    I only found out it was fixed from this post

    Le smiley?  Please don't tell me my favourite forum (ok, only forum) is run by a Frenchman!

    I'm still waiting for the conclusion of your assertion that nothing ever changes with the forum code ;)

    Hang on a sec... @digitalscream do you log all the searches? 

    If I search for "hairy testicle fart" does it stand out?

    Well, it does now.

    In terms of the technical details, all searches are GET requests, which means that they - and the parameters that go with the search - are all present in the web server logs. The forum also logs IP addresses against users, so it's pretty trivial to work out who's doing what.

    It's just not something I particularly want to put effort into. I may occasionally have a look in there to see what people are looking for, though, to see if there are any failed indexes and the like.

    Surely the first sentence on the first page of the developer handbook is "Never, ever, ask users what they want" ???
    The Brexit thread is that way >>>

    No way am I ever meeting any of you.  You'll all fall in love with me and I don't want the responsibility of being a cult leader - again.
    That's not how it's spelt.

    I don't mind being Chief Cult if all you little cults follow me.

    I propose that for the sake of harmonious (ahem) forum relationships the word 'white' should henceforth be replaced with something less contentious.  I'd suggest 'cream' as it's close to 'white' without the connotations.

    Ah... hang on... it's a band name... and it's associated with Eric Clapton... shit... errrm... let me think...
