"my cat is bad" with quotes i think should be allowed but isn't currently.
anyway, until that's fixed, just try to remember a word in the thread, and sort by date. so if you made "Cat" this winter and remember writing "my cat is orange" then you look up "orange" (or even easier, if you said your cat's name, try that) and scroll to December, January, and February till you see Cat.
OR
on the front page, where it lists the topics, click on "TOPIC". that'll sort topics alphabetically. happy scrolling!

I want to see a non-optional posting filter to screen out words like "ghey", "teh" and "shrooms", and of course any word spelled with numbers (eg, l33t, pen0r - which isnt even a word without the numbers, n00b etc)
In fact, and instant perm ban for anyone caught using them. And a hanging. Including their family. And pets.

Actually more search arguments don't increase the bandwidth, even if you use such words as "the" and "a".

a nice feature would of in the a topic link on the index page were links to the 2nd/3rd/etc. page of that topic. Example:
[Topic name] 2 3 4
By clicking on, for example, 3 you would be directed to the 3rd page of that topic.

2 and 3 letter word searches would increase bandwidth for 2 reasons:
1) ppl would be looking for stupider stuff (the, ass, hi) 2) ppl looking for something serious would still get more than the usual amount of results (eg: all cat threads instead of pokey the cat threads)

Do you think there would be such an amount of idiots looking for "the" and "hi" that'll eat up Phobia's bandwidth?..
And there is a demand for 3> letter searches. For example, I know that one post in my thread contained the words poop, is, bob and tao. I doubt that the results of such a search would be that numerous. Especially if we can have the ability to limit the matches to one POST, and not a THREAD.

i think it would be funny. i saw a board once where they gave each other "karma"....so they could be at +84 -99 or something. it's not like it would hurt feelings or anything..
i think private messenging is a good idea. i realize that software that is easily attained is readily available for people to use...but they don't use it...they just go back and forth on the board and it's obnoxious. maybe PMs would help.
i'm glad there's no edit/delete function for members...hopefully it makes people think twice about what they post!
another thing that might be nice is if the board would bold the topics that are new or have been posted to since the last time you read them.

I can't think of anything it needs. Itth like, the board of my DREAMTH, man.
And Gamefaqs has that Karma thing, it's pretty funny... if your Karma is too low, they'll only let you post a certain amount of times per day, post a certain amount of topics per week, etc. And the little geekoids over there have hissy fits if you diss the system/game of their choice and start losing Karma all over the place.
And, it... actually works! It makes them stop fighting... or risk being banished from their one source of social interaction.

But surely clicking on Topics to sort it alphabetically is just as bad on the bandwidth as searching for 3 letter words. In fact probably worse as you don't know where each letter starts so you'll be going to page after page.
I see no problem with 3 letter searches. Why would anyone be searching for the word ass? You have a very low opinion of people on this board if you expect that they'll search for dumb words like that. Be reasonable. I agree with you on the statement about "the" but then again a little common sense would make people realise that you can't search for that. Searching for a thread is quiet difficult at the moment. Maybe it's easier if you've posted in the thread before but other than that it's hard. You can't know a particular word in that thread.
Searching for track RAE. Well anything could've been said in that thread. What do you search for?

i thought of something else that would improve the board in my opinion: when you click a link in a post, it should open in a new window. unless that's impossible or something...i'm not really so sure.

Please don't do this. I hate it when all links open in new windows by default. I want to decide myself, I'm big enough for that... i guess

people add a parameter to open new windows while clicking links:
<,a href="http://www.xltronic.com" target="_blank">board of my dreamth</a>
right-clicking and "open in a new window" also helps! ;)
but we'll discuss these issues internally!

All existing browsers have a feature to open links in new windows with a simple shift-click or some other was that's really simple. No need to enforce comfort. Please. :)

what's with all this talk about "kopfheads".... Kopf isn't the german for 'shit', shatterproof, it's the german for "head".
Only improvement I could think of is a "last replied to by:" addition on the messageboard index...
And perhaps the removal of spas who are too obsessed with the number of points they have.. they r teh sux

I think a new posts since you last visited (like on that er, "other" board) would be the best improvement, and keep with this board's philosophy of sweet-and-simple features.
