Would it be naughty to use the emplode icon?

Nipper's cool. I couldn't have figured out what the icon was without reading this thread, though. lol

I was attempting to find my old thread here:

http://empegbbs.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Board=14&Number=282610

I went to the search page and put:

blu-ray

into the search box.

It returns no results at all, despite there being about a billion posts with that text within either the title or the body of the post.

The search engine doesn't like the hyphen.

It will find results for "bluray".

I'm guessing the search code is interpreting it as search for posts containing blu, but not ray. I should start a "search sucks" thread on the ubb side to see if maybe one day it will get fixed. As currently, it looks like google also sucks for the boards, as "blu-ray site:empegbbs.com" failed to find that older thread as well.

edit: nope, not that. Searching for blu-ray is failing to find my test post that only contains blu. I'll dig deeper later.

Okay, how about this. I searched for the following term:

war

and got zero results.

Search for the term:

empeg

and get a billion results.

I know we've discussed both topics before....

But searching for Blu* does find Blu-Ray it also finds Blue, Bluetooth and others.

It may be a minimum character limit then, possibly set higher then 3. Would be nice if they would error or say something about it instead of just tossing it out.

Would it be possible for someone here to increase the "edit time" for new postings, back to the 24-hours or so that we used to enjoy?

The current very short timeout is just inadequate for going back and correcting technical postings and the like. Much better than any other BBS I know of, but still..

Thanks

It's not an empeg or empeg specific icon, but should fit at least a little better.

I notice that the icon that FireFox associates with the empegBBS in my Bookmarks often changes from 'nipper' to a yellow light bulb.
I'm not sure what it is dependent on- perhaps where I browse on the BBS can change it.
hmm

It's something stored by Firefox when the bookmark was created that's doing it.

The bookmark being created before the favicon was changed from bulb to dog.

Hmm...
Deleting and resaving the bookmark doesn't seem to help.
Does anyone else see this happening?

The icon in the address bar is always correct for anyplace I go on the BBS, but the icon for my bookmark changes from Nipper to a bulb and back again.
I haven't worked out just *when* it does it.
