Why can't a search be 1 character long ? Adding on a 2nd character doesn't always help.

I don't remember offhand but I've had it several times. Once I was looking for a specific thread & all I could remember was that it had a single digit in the title.

Why the need to wait 5 seconds between searches ?

Or between posts. Sometimes i have replies open in more than one tab, and then I find them and want to submit them all in a row.

It would be great to have a keyboard shortcut to go to the next page of a thread. Not sure if that's possible, but I'm just saying.

PS: Thanks to Dan and Mods for a great forum!

I wish there was a way to implement that the right and left keyboard arrow keys would move to the next/previous pages.

no i just showed you that it's possible, now dan has to be interested.

Why don't you press the home button, to get right to the top.
Because it takes me four seconds to push the home way and only three seconds not to remove my finger from the cursor.

I imagine it's to block out the possibility of a ddos type of situation.

I hear. Though DDMS doesn't require the wait.

Which reminds me:
Why is DDMS search so woefully bad?
I have to use google to find anything.

Im able to find stuff there. But it'll show a few recent results, then it'll go all the way back to 2006-2009, then back to 2013-2014.

This is for the perfectionist in me - I imagine some simple coding can make user names that are to long get cut off or make the font go smaller

  • 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.

The search seems to be very title oriented... Even if it's a title from 2005, it'll show that than a whole post about xyz, if it's not in the title.

You don't post comments on DDMS enough, it also requires a wait.

I was referring to the wait between searches.
I don't post there too much because I still haven't figured out how fast is considered "typing too fast". :)
