"also - self search has no way to move to other types of displays."

Look for these words at the top of the page on the left: "Click here to view Articles Only. "

The problem with the self search page is that it shows the full message, like a thread, images and all (worts and all). As you can see, there is no sidebar here on the thread. The reason is, TABLES dont obey commands when, say an image is larger than the width of the table, thus pushing the sidebars off to the right out of view. I suggested to John to put the sidebars on the left. Of course that will throw all the old farts into a tizzy because they hate change.

I will say this, John and Jim work hard to program this forum and it aint an easy task. You have to make it cross browser compatible, cross OS compatible, speedy, useful and still keep a captive audience...They are running a remarkable show if you ask me.

I agree, more mouse clicks is no improvement.

Hopefully that ability to do so will be returning to the forum.
