Searches come up empty every time, for me. Even when I search for 'Transformers.'
Actually, this is something that has been a problem with the site ever since I registered, maybe even ever since I started lurking. Not once have I had a search that's hurled up any results; I too have tried 'Transformers' and other things such as 'Cyclonus', 'Scourge', 'Optimus Prime', etc. In the end I had to search via Google's "site:" parameter, and even then that produced minimal results.
I never mentioned it because a) I kept forgetting and b) it's not crucial to my enjoyment of the site.
Also, Ryan, I know exactly what Bun-Bun is referring to with regards to the New Post icons. As soon as I log in or go to the site via favourites, the Forum Index will indicate that each forum has new posts by showing the orange icon. However, if I click on any one of those specific forums then none of the threads have the orange icon (i.e., it believes they've all been read).
Similarly, if I'm on an entirely unrelated site (Google, for example) and I type the full URL to go straight into a particular forum (e.g., Toys) it will indicate that there are x-amount of unread threads with the orange icon. If I click to read any one of these new posts, then go back to the Forum itself having read only one, it says all the new posts have been read (or at least the orange icons have disappeared).
Does that make sense? It seems to be both the Index and the individual Forums.
