    With over 1 million posts, it is getting difficult to search for specific help. For instance, the subject heading states 'help me' or 'what am I doing wrong?' etc. etc. It would be easier to search if the SUBJECT would show what the post will be about. That would allow a searchers to find what they would be looking for a lot faster.
    Also, Can there be a section for HDloader? then as subtopics there could be a hdloader problems? same can be had for hdadvance. or maybe there already is and I havent found them yet.

    Well your first request, though it would be great, is never going to happen. Too many people post poor thread titles, too many for anyone to be able to amend them now. What I could suggest though, to put my 2 cents in, Is that we have an option to `quicksearch` through all the best and most important threads (maybe 20-30 per forum). This way it is easy to refer to the great help that often fades away over time.

    There is no specific HDloader forum, but you should post your problem in the forum that fits it closest, or if you cannot find one, stick it in 'all other tpoics'

    Peace

    as Lethal_B says, you'll never get everyone to post sensible subject lines. as to the searching, the admins are always tweaking/improving things.. And here's my secret search weapon (ie shhh don't tell the admins LOL) if the search doesn't quite find what i need, i jump on google and usually find what i need, ie i google for 'creaky afterdawn LG 4167B DL12' for example. it's probably me not using the search function properly but that's my secondary way to find stuff..

    i think every bodys post should start with the letter (A)then the subject line,
    every body knows what the letter (A)looks like,right..
    so thay will be able to search looking for the letter (A)

    the googleing sounds like a fine idea and will be my second choice in search engine.
    How about this idea:
    eBay lets you search for a specific item in the category. It also has an option if you want to search in the description. Would Afterdawn allow the same type of searches? I would be able to view the topics I am looking for a lot faster without having to read 20 or more posts until I find a tiny mention of what I am looking for. And it might not even be related to what Im looking for.
    Am I making sense? lol
    But either way, Afterdawn is still the best.
