Keep in mind that thread subjects have ALWAYS shown up ... on the thread results. The thread title has been there fromt he beginning. It was the reply results that it showed the first line as the subject. So if you were seeing the first line, you were actually seeing a reply, not a thread. I have, however, fixed that and you will now see "Re: [thread name]" in reply search-results titles. I'm just waiting until i finish the rest of these search fixes and package them up to change things over here. Also keep in mind that before the new forums, search was not enabled at all for non-moderators. So, even if you say this search is useless for you, it is more useful than the time you didn't have a search at all. Disallowing search by username was NOT a matter of paranoia. It was based on the fact that when the old forums had a search, users really WERE hunting down other users and harassing them. It became a serious problem that partially led to the decision to turn the search off altogether. Remember that, while ten or twenty users being harassed isn't that many in 30,000 forum users, it IS a big deal when you have a much SMALLER number of moderators to deal with the problem. And we have less time to spend monitoring other areas of the forums when we spend so much time policing harassment. This was not my decision. Ultimately, I agree with and stand by the decision that was handed down to me, but it was not my decision to make. Originally, the new search allowed searching by username, but it was decided that it was best left a mod/coord/admin feature only. I will address your concerns to the rest of the admin team and offer some ideas that I have to them that might enable us to prevent these problems and still allow you to search by username. Things will improve. We can't fix everything over night. We've got a thousand people breathing down our necks . sNw
