Search feature sucks!!! I dont know if its just me but the search button has really been sucking lately. like a few weeks ago it was fine and all now what ever you search is searched in every sub section of the forums. PSJ I know this has been a problem for awhile but what happened recently though?

I believe they are experimenting to try and maximize the search feature, and we need to be patient.
I for one, do not pay to use this site so I take whatever is given to me, and respect that the owners/designers are doing there best.
There are plenty of other resources online if you are unhappy.

Oh i for one am by no means going to complain to fix the problem i know they're trying to fix it. I was more or less just venting and asking if its was in the porocess of being fix. I love this site and it has helped me countless times and 97% of everyone on here can normally help out if something comes up or you need help. sorry if it sounded as if im downsizing the site

No problem. I have vented a time or too as well, since it greatly inhibits my ability to either find my own answers or to answer other questions.
I am not sure if it is an upgrade issue or just the fact that this site is hit so many times every day because it is by far the best site for getting quality results.

I think alot of what makes it frustrating is when you start a thread and someone says well just search it and it makes you look like an idiot, but if it's not working how the heck are you supposed to?

The site has been sucking *** period. The search feature does not work at all. I thought it was something I was doing so I searched for all posts by me, came up zero. On a T3 line it sometimes takes forever to load, gets timed out or just won't open. I know there are alot of people on here but this is all times of day. Myspace is even quicker and thats bad.

I think they should charge a small membership fee, that would help with the $$$ to upgrade/fix things, and keep alot of scammers out. Nothing crazy, maybe $20 a year? I pay that much for a magazine subscription, and get it once a month and read it in an hour or less. I'd gladly pay much more for the use of this site.
The only downside I can see is naturally you will lose some members, and that makes the site less attractive to sponsors. I'd be willing to bet that the people who aren't willing to pay a small membership fee aren't buying much from sponsors anyway.

i know there are plenty more that feel the same way. And even if membership was like %4 a year it would still be alot of money to keep up the maintaninace of the site considering the amount of members
