Re: avatar issue
As a suggestion - in Mozilla, and most other browsers, you can hold down "CTL" when you hit "Reload" and it'll ignore the cache.

Searching
How come searching basically doesn't work at all? I just put in Search Words: "swimming" and Search by User Name: Crashfrog, and I got two messages:
​
this one and this one
​
neither of which actually contains the word "swimming." That word doesn't even appear on either of those pages, in anybody's message. And the message that I was actually looking for doesn't appear at all.
​
What's the deal? I know how to use a search engine, and expected behavior when you search for all posts by a particular person for a specific word is that you find the posts by that person that contain that word, not "two posts that have absolutely nothing to do with what you searched for."
​
I mean at least those were two posts by me, so at least they got it half-right. This is just one example but it's been my experience that EvC has the least accurate search engine of any forum I've ever posted at.

Re: Searching
dBoard 3.0, hopefully to be released at the end of this year, fixes this problem by moving the search database (and all the messages, too) into MySQL.
​
What are the messages in now, incidentally?
​
Glad to hear about improvements on the way.
