There are numerous occasions when I want to search for a game related thread to update that is old, but whenever I want to find it in search it shows me other useless threads where the game name might of been mentioned, please introduce a search function that will show the relevant thread first, for example I just searched for Crysis 3... was on the last page event though it should be the best match.
Next time ya close my Survarium thread don't be a hypocrite and make a thread under the same conditions

+1 on this one (yeah we were discussing it earlier but hey)
I agree the search function could be improved, perhaps by searching by thread name instead of thread contents? Posted Image

The only downside is we are going to loose all of our graphics until we can get the forums reskinned.

Sadly IPB keeps changing their stuff to and its preventing our skins from transfering over :( So we will be stuck with a default skin from IPB until D3 can figure out to rebuild the one we have. I tried to find people to do it but didn't have any luck so I had to beg D3 to help :(

So long as the move is beneficial big time then a small sacrifice will be worth it, the default skin can't be that bad right?

Plz tell me we get to keep the emoticons Posted Image

I'd have to agree. Every time I do an advanced search for something I've posted the first results returned include keywords like;

Stud, awesome, cool, fantastic, the best ever etc..... :)

ya the default emotions will still be there, anything extra will have to be added back in unless they carry over.

Can we please add a "this thread is worthless without pics" emoticon? I'll supply the gig if you want but definitely want that emote

Man these spammers are geniuses...put (NO SPAM) in the thread title to hide the spam.  It's brilliant.  Hopefully this doesn't catch on...what if rapists wear signs that say (NOT A RAPIST)?  They will be raping everybody! D:
