How about a real forum search feature, so people can find the threads they want in just a few clicks, and not have to use a google search or page painfully through every page? No, it would be too much to ask.
I understand that ezboard has a monster task on hand in moving to a new database format. It's just that the new search feature has been in the works for easily over a year, yet nothing has happened. In fact, nothing ever seems to happen, except features get broken every time the do a minor update.
The only thing ezboard is good at is keeping their servers online.
Errrrr... ezBoard is good at keeping their servers online? Anyone remember the page cannot be displayed errors? Or pub33? Ezboard is good at srambling to keep their serves from being down for more then 2 days at a time, but a large percenatage of that has less to do with effective management then it does to do with sheer luck.
Keeping their servers online is different from having critical server errors.
If you can access the board, the server is online. Beyond that, it's a different kind of error. Despite the page cannot be displayed errors, the exceeding slowness at times, and other numerous problems, the servers were online.
However, to have a good message board service you need more than a server connected to the internet, and what used to be second-grade software running.
