Can't help but to notice that your forum software does not seem to have a SEARCH feature (or did I miss it somewhere?).... can you add one? There's only a few threads started this far, so it's not a problem yet, but one you get the word out about this program and users need to find an answer to something, it will be quite frustrating that you have to read through the entire forum one thread at a time.

Hi, Hilander. Thanks for your comment. There is a search box in the upper right of every page and it does search the forums (along with the rest of the site). You just reminded me that, in the redesign we just completed, I took out the code that initializes the text box to the string "SEARCH", so no wonder you missed it!

The search indexing is done every hour so it will miss very recent posts but that is adjustable.

There's also an "Advanced search" panel on the search results page so you can narrow your search to just the forums or even a particular forum. Try it out and let me know if you have any enhancement requests.

lol, the "Stealth Search Engine"

A white text box on a white background... sounds like a good time to add a label so users can find it.

LOL! OK, I'm fixing it, I'm fixing it.

There also seems to be a problem with the header background (which includes the border around the search text box). It's very visible on my MacBook Pro (almost too dark), just fine on my external monitor, but basically invisible on many displays. Not sure if this is a PC vs. Mac thing, but I'll darken it up.
