hello and thanks for the upgrade. It's more fun without the waiting times (a feeling of scipping the qeue
).
Two other things, one minor and one annoying:
-if I don't get any fitting search results, it tells me I might "peruse" some other interesting entries. is that some english phrase unknown to me? (I guess it means persue).
-to look for something alphabeticaly is quite annoying, as most words are not at the beginning list of the letter; ie to get to "Luton" I'd have to go all the way through "L", clicking and clicking and clicking... (or am I wrong?)
thanks again for the work

I'm curious about another thing regarding the searching. As far as I can tell, the 'search forum' is not yet implemented or perhaps not yet indexed? I've tried all sorts of words just to see and get nothing on any of them. I perused the search page and new features page, but didn't see anything about this.

Looks like a bug to me. Thanks for pointing it out - I'll make sure it gets fixed.

In fact, I've just fixed it. How's that for service?
