DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: Less Forums Please



In my opinion, we have way too many forums. It's hard to look through all of them when trying to help others. We should consolidate a few with only a few hundred posts.
I just hit the "New posts" button ... simple enough & it works.

There is a search function as well...

However there is a documentation project underway check it out!

There are numerous methods to facilitate consolidation. One method would require a NOMINAL annual subscription, and would facilitate creating something REALLY SPECIAL.
In my opinion, the biggest problem with the "Search" function, besides the obvious "Nobody uses it" is this:

It is an "OR" based keyword search tool
and it should default to ALL FORUMS and FROM THE BEGINNING or NEWER.

I don't think the "OR" syntax can easily be fixed.

However, since phpbb is php based, it should be an easy fix to make the search page default to ALL FORUMS and FROM THE BEGINNING or NEWER
