I love the new look of the forums so far, but there are 2 things that I found that frustrate me. First: The search feature is awful!!! I tried the search function for the term "lighting", so I could start rebookmarking favourite threads. In particular I was looking for a thread started in January 2006 called "Lighting Question". I found that the search sorts by "relevancy" instead of chronologically. And that there are 24692 threads for me to look through. I'm not interested in what the forum search deems to be "relevant" and possibly placing my thread as 24,600 in the list. Can the search results be sorted chronologically please? Second: When I went to make athread, I was asked which forum I wanted my post to appear in. I think that should be automatically determined based on the forum you are in when you go to make a new thread.

This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
