This format kind'a sucks, too. Where the hell is "Search"? I came in through CNET. Is there a better lay-out somewhere? - Bob Gr
Welcome Back Bob!!!
I highly doubt that Charlie registered with Bob G. That seems like a pretty common user name combo. Since you were late to the party, someone in one of the other forums is probably already using it. You might look for someone named Bob or Robert. Their last name may just start with "G"...
This format is as good as it gets. Change is extremely slow. We had to work around visited links marking for quite some time, even though that was probably one of the easiest things to fix. I doubt we will ever see a Search function in here. I hope for the best, but expect very little. For sanity's sake, that is probably the best option for everyone...
