"What else do you want to know?"
"Allowing 3 letter queries...."
Its not RIU thats blocking 3 letter queries its their search method.
I'm sorry that i had to interpret/assume what you ment because your post was vague.
There's no need to be offense, I'm only trying to help. But i'll leave you be from now on
Peace x

I'm not sure you understand the problem, Liquid. Try searching "lst" (or LST). You get absolutely NO hits. That makes no sense, though, because we know that LST is mentioned many, many, MANY times on this site.
WeedGuy, I've pretty much given up trying to use this site's search feature. Instead I use Google and add "@rollitup.org" and hit the "cached" button so my search terms are highlighted. This may help you, but doesn't address the inherent problem with the site's search feature/function, which should work better with fewer search terms, not worse.

Another solution is to add " :site https://www.rollitup.org" And the search term befor the :. So for lst you would type "lst :site https://www.rollitup.org". That works but i just wanted to be able to search for stuff like LR2, HPS, MHL etc... on the actual site. Plus google comes back with where that word has been used rather than just searching the thread titles.

Good information.. yes, Google nets a different set of results, but those are more in line with how I personally search anyway. I want to get results as posts rather than thread titles, big difference between what the two of us are doing, yeah?
I think it may be more a problem with the code for the site's search function, as I've seen problems like this with other sites that use differing formats.

First one off the top of my head, the reputation thingy. Now you can EITHER approve OR disapprove of a post. I have no idea how it ultimately works with a given user's reputation count, though.
Then, I now have to double-click attachments to view, whereas before I only had to click on them. And then there were some things mentioned in another thread.. I think it's in Toke n Talk, but I'm drawing a blank right now. I think one of the things is that rollitup made an attachment size for the galleries infinite, rather than limiting it as it used to be.. but don't hold me to that one.

in college they make you take a research class in your selected major... The class teaches you how to research using the databases specific to your field, i was making a joke that this has become the RIU research 101 class (101 is the class number assigned to entry level college courses) teaching RIU users how to get the most out of their forum searches
