Thought I'd run a fun little poll to better understand the direction people would like this forum to move in. Feel free to add any additional comments using replies!  Grin

I liked it the way it was years ago when everyone could post their builds without having to pay to do so and AD was not an info commercial

You don't have to pay to do so. Just link your photos from an outside source like photobucket. Its really easy, I do it all the time. I still donated because this forum is very useful.

Í wentz wit "More Resource...."
Wuud hav gone with "its perfect the way it is" but I found myself using the Guugle search engine to locate kit makers worldwide é other day.....
So maybe this forum can get sum royality by having kit makers advertise here, just to offset the cost to keep this forum goin? Smiley

The search feature on this forum is practically non existent. The search feature definitely needs to be worked on.

I second that, the search feature isn't very good.

I agree with the search feature comments.  I find that I have to ask questions that have already been answered because I can not find them using the search feature.  If anything was to be addressed first, I would pick the search function

HEAR! HEAR!   
Sorry, but I have to agree the search engine is more like a "quest" engine.
I can NEVER find a specific thread someone refers to in a post without searching every post since the beginning of the forum.

I like the build threads and basically like the site.

I feel the search engine needs some refinements to specifically hit the target (like Craig's List).

Reinstate the spell checker. Sometimes it is hard to understand what someone is saying or trying to say.

I would also limit the "members only" for posting with transparency to see who they are (total disclosure). The blind posters and guests provide a hit and run approach. Sounds like the spelling and blind posters go together but they are different issues.
