A wish

for the wishlist.

Mind, I have no illusion at all that Dr. Bob will even see this post.

But even though I once opposed the idea, I'd really like to be able to search for posts by poster. I know there's the google search, but that's wildly unpredictable in results, and rarely comes up with recent results at all.

Sometimes I'm worried about someone, and would like to see if they've posted somewhere on one of the boards. Or sometimes I *think* I remember someone's story, but it would be nice to go back and make sure I'm remembering the right story before I say something stupid.

I don't know how hard it would be to add next to the babblemail link, say. But the code to do that might be useful in other contexts? Ok, I'm just saying that as an enticement, but it might be true...

the show all feature or "print" from extras was dissabled a looooooooong time back and never was fixed. nuttin' from the head poobah about any potential return.

yeah the features of this site could use some updating more than the cosmetics of front pages and such.

the searches have been less than satisfying w/ results from previous search engines within the site in addition to google. seems search parameters have been changed.

A revised "show all" should be sooner rather than later. Which might help with Google, I think it might have started relying on them...

What other updates or additions would you like to see?

I agree, the search function sucks.
There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it all.
I seldom search cuz its so frustrating, and I think it would be useful.
If there was chronological order that would be good. It just seems so utterly random.
