one little issue, theres no way to search DDF for exclamation marks!
I used the search terms "I implore you".

Aussie, I wouldn't mind some more of those type of posts. How about once a month?

usually thats how ill find something (remembering a line in the post) but i never saw that post b4 so i couldnt find it just with "!!!!!!" - which actually would be nice to be able to search stuff with those symbols or even smiley faces.

I agree. I had to take out the "i" because the search terms must be at least two letters  in each word. Would be nice if that was changed.

not a true statement.
if you put the words you want in parentheses, it searches for only those words how you wrote them (like in one sentence) so u could write "i impolre you"

LGBTT (Lets Go Back To Topic). The most unforgiven sin is to discourage and embarrass new subscribers (n00b, how you veterans call us. I suggest you find a more respective name for us) just a few years ago, our honorable Dan Eleff was just a big n0000000b....  So just give us time, give us courage, and we'll grow up proud Semi-Dans...   TIA

n00bs who can't accept constructive criticism will never mature and become 'Semi-Dans', if people can't conform to basic netiquette rules, it's a sin (IMHO) to sit idly by.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Either he typed that post in the wrong thread. Or he's trying to be funny and play on the word "DEADLY"

Is your issue with the term "BDE" or the fact that there is a thread about the passing?
