I know what I can hit and how fast I am

“You can never have too much gun!”
Oh, I know HTML. It’s just a PITA to have to do it on ONE forum when the other 50 forums I’m on all have vB tags, whether they’re vB or not!
Even phpBB supports that now.
As for reply to a reply - that sort of threading has been fixed - and it can be configured by the admin anyway.
Post editing is a great idea! When the history is tracked - like it is on vBulletin now.
Yes, you’ve told me about it before. I just didn’t remember the name. Thanks
How about archives?
When I have used google before, my results include posts at

(and possibly others)
Sometimes they seem like duplicates, sometimes not.
Are certain things stored on certain sites/servers?
Knowing the structure may facilitate searching for older posts.
X, my pinglist couldnt hold a candle to yours and I think mine is 99.9% redundant.
If you understand the search function here and use it properly, it works just fine. I have looked for older articles when I remember just a word or two of the title, and I find them pretty darn quick and easy.

I think they now even have a class for the very early first Colt semiauto pistols
The previous search tool worked very well, in my opinion. With this new one I’m not even sure if I need to get rid of the little asterisk that always shows up.
You would like that.
I don’t gots that much free time! :-)
[The previous search tool worked very well, in my opinion.]
I totally agree with that, I loved the old search tool. Even though I am familiar with and use the new one, I still hate it. Often takes twice as many ‘steps’ to get what you want.
“FR search works just fine if you know how to use it. Make sure you’re doing a title search (not a keyword search), and just use ONE key word from the article’s title - not the whole title. For instance, if the article you’re considering posting is titled “Denver bans buckets of poop at DNC protests,” you should just do a title search for “buckets” or perhaps “poop.” “Protests” or “Denver” would also be acceptable. I have found that the search engine is unable to handle words shorter than three letters, so keep that in mind.”
If you google “DNC” and “poop” you will trigger an infinite loop and cause the entire internet to shut down.
But that is no average freeper! LOL.
