Yes, I have a BUSY life outside CF.SallyNow said:Really? Even for just having the last 5 posts in the user info page? Eep! No wonder it's taking a while to find a solution.
Oh well, searching the forums manually can be good too...you see some opinions and ideas you would never have thought before.
*will wait patiently, since the problem seems complex, and Erwin has a life outside of the internet, which is a very good thing*

Let me rephrase--there should be at least 2 databases, not one.theseed said:Ok, I have a solution. There needs to be 2 search engines. 1) for restricted forums, which only staff can access. and 2)one for all public forums which any guest can read.
A third engine may be necessary to search site supporter forums.
And to make it even more convient, staff could have a a meta-search that searched all engines on the same forum.
So certain search engines would only be available to staff.
The only down side is that it could take a long time to set this up?
