Any chance of a "Search this Forum" button?
« on: January 15, 2008, 03:48:18 pm »
As per title, I search BYOAC more than any other forum, and often want to search just one forum.

I know I can select the tick boxes in the general search page, but is there any chance of a "Search this forum" button (say, next to the 'new topic' button).

Even if it linked to the search page with the correct forum selected, that would be cool....?

Dunno, I'll see if there are any mods :)

Any joy?

Did not realise it would require mods for SMF - assumed it was a pretty standard config....  Maybe I'm just being too lazy on the search page (!).


PS: On a *completely* unrelated subject, does anyone actually access to "Post Hell" or is it a euphamism for deleted? I've seen people appear to link to stuff there and its unavailable... (I'm aware of what it is/Why it exists (if it does) just curious about who has access...

I would be careful about asking for access to Post Hell ... I know I won't do it twice ...

Banned for asking about Post Hell.
