Bharat & team, Everytime I post on this this forum, I'm scared that someone would chastise me for asking something that has been answered before. I try to search before asking, but the problem is that I can search within a specific board (like G3), only on the entire forum...so it can be very difficult to wade through the search results and the temptation to just type my question quickly grows. If you've ever had to answer a question twice or ever rolled your eyes and thought why people keep asking the same things without looking, well, that may well be why. My recommendation is that you consider moving to phpBB which is a much easier, and frankly more familiar, forum environment. BR, Vivek SoosKriszta |

Have you tried google?
use the site switch with your keywords:
gallery3 restrict fullsize site:gallery.menalto.com

Thanks, Suprsidr! But the problem is not that search doesn't work...problem is that I get way too many results instead of results from a specific board.
When I search for answers on G3, I don't want to see discussion topics from G2.
In the meantime, I discovered that on this forum, I can actually use the functionality of searching specific boards, but it's hidden inside "Advanced Search". I am sure there are many end-user idiots like me out there who would appreciate the simplicity of searching in a specific board while on that board, the way phpBB does it...

Another annoyance, though relatively minor, with this forum software is that one can't jump from the board straight to a specific page of a topic.
One more: When I subscribe to topics, they are listed alphabetically, not in order of last updates...
