    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.

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

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

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

    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 notice that the Formerly field had not been updated. Which Admin changed his name?

    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.
