Maybe I'm going round the twist but is there advance search facility anywhere in CMX? There's normal search but I can't find any options to filter them by post / topic, etc, etc!

I use search option a lot especially to check there isn't already a certain topic in existence before I create a new one. ;)

When making this theme for the forum there wasn't a good place to put the link. I guess it could have gone next to FAQ and Members though :cry:

Heh heh. I did the same at my site. The search box was originally to the right of the main logo and looked well out of place so I removed it and added the Search option in the options bar (FAQ, memberlist, etc, etc). ;)

Should had guessed to enter search.php at end of CMX url lol.

Later this week I'm making a few cosmetic changes to the site, so I might make that alteration one of them. :)

Great. :D

I also like the ability to change font size in CMX. Only noticed that when I was looking for Search option LOL.

If you want to search within a topic, it is at the top of the page just to the right of the Post Reply button :)

In answer to quahappy's original question, I have made a few changes to the site, adding a Search link being one of them

Quick Reply option used here! Like the ability to increase size of Quick Reply box too!

Great work battye! Handy for fast posters who already know BBcode, etc. Have this at my site and find it invaluable. As for size of Reply buttons (or did you mean the message body?)... I personally think they are fine. ;)

Nice to see Search option where it is too. Easy to find.

:D
