Can the search filter be relaxed to not allow any words two letters or under? I tried to search for my username for fun and found out I'm too short. :cry:

Maybe this should teach you not to have a name less than four letters long.

That's what I woulda said. :p

Why did you change your name!? :(

Man, I didn't think that changing my name would be a big deal, but I've had at least half a dozen people comment on me changing it.

Wouldn't then indexing the boards increase the size of the db?

That limit exists probably for a good reason, like so people don't search for "the" and make the server implode. You can search for fig*, or *fig, or 'fig'.

I'll try those. Thanks.

I'm certainly not changing it :p It's not so much the larger database as the extra load, plus downtime to rebuild the index to avoid corruption :p

I told you not to change your name. You asked me like a man, and I told you not to. Especially to something STUPID like fig. It's not even capitalized.

Pfff. I'm never talking to you AGAIN.

I'll fix the Formerly field later*. I agree that this name change is for the worse, but I just do what I'm told.



* No I won't.

Fine, if it's getting everyone's panties in a knot I'll change it back.

Whoever changed your name didn't fill out the "Formerly" field, I don't think. *ahem*

They'll change your name to "Fig", yet they won't change mine to "Rick Dangerous?"

What's the world coming to? :p

BoB convinced me to keep this wonderful name, anyhow.

Leeza and I are always nagging other admins to fill out the "Formerly" field. :p

Yes, it took three Private Messages to various Administrators before my "formerly field" was corrected. Three!

Tut.

Lord Krang is cooler than fig

And Shlup, shouldn't you be able to fix the Formerly tag yourself? Being an admin, I think you should!

He's really dumbed-down since applying that ridiculous Goomba avatar.

Maybe we'll get the "old Spiff" back again someday - the one we like.
