Could a character string search be added to the search function so that (e.g. "best western" only returns results where the words best and western occur next to each other and in that sequence) ?



thanks

Sorry, ignore that.

Would it be possible for the links to propagate nojs=1 when they detect javascript is disabled ? I tend to run browser with javascript disabled (via firefox noscript add-on). The site works fine, but a few of the features such as subscription and searching have to reload the page, adding nojs=1 to the cgi parameters list, so they can jump to the extra stuff that gets enabled by that setting. Would it be possible for a page to add that parameter to all links if it detects that javascript is disabled, or at least to preverve "nojs=1" if it is passed into a page, adding it to all (relevant) links out of that page.

Couple of suggestions, but I'm not a vBulletin techie, so not sure how they'd be done:

1. Can the word censor be tweaked to allow accented letters through, like in caf!, fianc!e, etc., as they always seem to be displayed as ! marks?
2. Tweak the delete all subscriptions function so it's easier to access and a bit more reliable (just used it theother day and it didn't seem to work properly first time).

I am no expert but the new forum software seems quite heavy to load sometimes on a netbook. The hovering preview function seems to clog things up as it loads so much of the text rather than a small snippet.

As this forum is powered by vBulletin, how about enabling Tapatalk?

www.tapatalk.com

From their site: [SIZE=+1]"[/SIZE]Tapatalk is a forum app for iPhone, BlackBerry, Android and Nokia. The app provides super fast forum access to any vBulletin, phpBB forums that have activated Tapatalk (Simple Machine Forum and IP.Board are in development). Forum owner can download the free plug-in to activate Tapatalk in your forum."

I'm no forum techie or anything (nor do I have any association with Tapatalk) but I use Tapatalk on my iPhone to access a number of message boards - it's a much faster and easier way to access boards than browsing via Safari, which I find slow and unwieldy.
