Regarding the HBN forums software (I think it is called phpBB?)

    How do I search for an *exact* phrase? I want to see posts containing "multiple threads". When I get back is posts with "multiple" and/or "threads" somewhere in the text. I've played w/ the search options, used quotes, etc.. but to no avail. I even looked on phpBB.com, but no luck there either.

    How do I give someone credits? I've received several helpful responses to other posts, and would really like to give the person credits, but I see *nowhere* to do this. No hyperlink, no button, nothing. I'm on Firefox 1.5.0.4.

    Would this forum perhaps work better as a Usenet newsgroup, comp.software.hibernate or something, indexed nine ways from Sunday by Google Groups? Maybe if the searching mechanism was better, the signal-to-noise ratio would improve?

    Why does the authentication time out so damn quickly? In the minute or two it took me to write this post, it timed out and I have to login again....



Any help/advice appreciated.

Hey,
I can't figure out the search either. I can never find anything I want. So I would like to know that one as weel.

When you're logged in you should see
"Please rate this answer to give credits to the poster! Did it solve the problem? Yes / No" at the bottom of the person's response. When you click yes this gives the person credit.

lol no idea. never found the search too useful

there is a link at the bottom of each post where you can give them credits. but only in threads you've started

when you log in have it remember your login name. I've been permanently logged in for about a year.
