Default I love WPW - it's an invaluable resource - but...

I get frustrated when I try to search for things on WPW that have already been discussed. First, if you want to do an Advanced Search and restrict the Forum, the list of Forums is extremely hard to read - how is that list organized anyway? Subquestion #1, I can't seem to select multiple Forums - it's either All or only one.

Second, when I get a result set and look at one of the posts or threads, I can't figure out how to get back to the result set without having to re-input the whole search. (There's got to be a way to do this, right?)

Sorry if these are suggestions that have been made already, but I gave up trying to search for them...
(LOL)

Yes - i get frustrated by that.

What i do is right click the search results and open it in a wew window --> don't loose the search results pages.

I added the search within a thread option to try to help make WPW a bit more searchable when we did the upgrade recently.

Unfortunately, though I would love to try to offer some more advanced features, I run into limitations in regard to the software, security and my ability to work with php code (I try, -my BA is in English though... ;p).

I'll research it a bit more and see if there is some level of additional functionality I can bring to search.

Thanks - really, I wasn't trying to whine! I feel much better now! (But could you maybe try to alphabetize the Forum selection list please??)
