Re: suggestion
I understand. Your message list doesn't note that replies await because the reply wasn't to your last message. This is on my short list of "what to work on next."

Re: suggestion
I just went through all my old posts as it seems that the e-mail notification button was turned off when the board was converted -- this may have something to do with the e-mail?
would it be possible to allow sorting of the individual indexes? or have one that is only that persons original posts? (which can provide insight to others way of thinking?)

Google recently indexed EvC Forum, so you can now use Google to find messages here in the new dBoard format. Google indexes EvC Forum every couple weeks or so and works fine as long as you're not looking for something recent.
Regarding EvC Forum's native search facility that has become slow and unreliable with the size of the rapidly increasing message database, I've discovered ways to speed it up by a fair degree. For example, searches in the Biological Evolution forum that now take around 60 seconds will take less than 10. Searches of forums by category or entire-board searches will also take much less time.
The native search facility is often much more useful than Google because it includes even the most recent messages, and it returns searches ordered by date and listed by message.
I hope to release improved searching this or next weekend.

What do you think of adding a dropdown box at the top of the form on the search page. It contains two entries--Native (default) and Google. If you choose google search, it uses the fields for you to construct a google search. Or, it blanks out everything except the text. You can pop the google search into a new dialog.
That way, if we're having trouble with the native search engine, we can easily do google search. Since y'all already instruct people to do so if they have problems, this would simply add convenience. Plus you could add the "site:" tag to the search for us.
Back to applications...

Looks like message 129 was deleted - I have no idea why.
still no e-mail notices.
Let me play with your email address and see what I can figure out.

Email Notification
This worked fine for me. I've restored your email address to its original setting, perhaps it will begin working now. Email addresses are kept in a separate database for rapid lookup, and it is possible yours was lost. Let me know if you're still getting no notification, there are additional things I can check.

Re: Email Notification
no e-mail yet, though I have received several from other sources.
on the individual index lists could the "yes" be linked to the response? this would mean (a) going directly to the response instead of your post and then the response (yeah, but there could be multiple ... ) and (b) that the color would change when read (signal for future reference on ones you don't need to answer)?

Looks like message 129 was deleted - I have no idea why.
My guess (and it is very much a guess) is that it was an AdminPhat/Phatboy message, and he was the one who deleted it. This is largely based on the fact that Phatboy posted message 130.
If so, I don't know if it was deliberate or by accident, but AdminPhat's admin inexperience may be behind it.
I remind all admins, that it is forum policy that no messages get deleted, or even edited for content, by the admins. For such things as duplicate postings, the content may be blanked out, and a note such as "Duplicate posting, content deleted" inserted.
This is to keep the message number sequence complete, to try our best to show that censorship is not happening.

Re: suggestion
129 is gone from the topic index.
but the #142 post doesn't show up there either: that could be why it sees 141.

That's a bug. Should we give you credit for noticing, or Phat for deleting a message to make the bug apparent?
Should be easy to fix.
