Board request thread

When searching on the board, vBulletin by default will not allow you to search for words of 3 or less characters. Can that be changed? Even if only to include 3-letter words?

I've changed it from 4 to 3, but that's as small as I want to go, as it affects the size of the database with more words being included.

No worries. Actually, Mel's unrelated tip gave me everything I need

Just go google, on the search field, type in...

I can just go to Google, type in my three letter word and restrict it to our site, e.g. searching: "afa site:otca.com.au" works perfectly as you can see here.

Arggghh.. How is my tip un-related when the first post on this thread was bread talking about adding an exchange rate function?

I only read the first post and didn't go on further, that's why I didn't realise how a currency exchange tool question can lead on to female members getting more welcomes than male ones... Men will be men...

Actually I've been on the board so long that I can't remember how my "welcome" phase was already... heehee Although I do get the occasional PMs "Wow, you are a female fan?!"

Back on topic - something I'd like to see is HTML code embedding so that we can do things like directly embed videos into posts (instead of just links).

Here's an example - this is YouTube video's HTML embedding code.

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/w7Wc5fetLjo&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/w7Wc5fetLjo&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

If there were an option to allow for embedding then this code would appear as the actual video on the post/thread and users could simply click on play and watch it in the thread instead of opening a new window.
