This has nothing to do with the moderating, but it certainly would be nice to have a direct link to posting an article from the search results page. As it is, once you've searched for an article title you have to page back to post the new article.
C'mon, make it simple and rewarding to use the search function to prevent unnecessary duplicate article posts.

Hey DG..... is your computer screen limited in the number of windows you can have open. When posting I open a new window for the post and set it up there and keep my other windows functioning like I normally have them set up. The search can be preformed with the latest post page window just prior to hitting post in the posting window...

The reason for that little change is that the search function now works across all forums (though I'm not usre about the Backroom). When you get your search results, you are no longer in anyone particular forum, you are in all of them. Hence the need to go to a particular forum after searching. The multiple window solution is a good one.

I agree with that. There should be a "Post" button on the search page.
