Compared to the amount of member-join-requests last year, I'd say they requirements are working just fine.

Although, one idea is if an automatic PM was sent to new members titled something like "Welcome to the forums!" that tells them a bit about tSR and links to the rules.

That's a good idea...

Great idea, it's got my vote.

That's a great idea. Then the members would automatically be familiar with the rules. Although, this will only work with members who allow PM's to be recieved.

[puggsoy]

Yeah, but PM's are automatically enabled by default, so they wouldn't be able to be disabled before they get this message, since this would be sent pretty much instantaneously.

[~Axis~]

Oh, That's right.

I would suggest putting the "switch to full version" link back on the mobile version of the site. It's hard trying to switch to other themes once on the mobile ver. Try it yourself.

Honestly, the search engine can be improved. It's very..crappy at the moment.

For example, if I type in "Super mario bros.", anything with "super", "mario" or "bros." shows up, and I have to scroll quite a ways down to find what I'm looking for. Maybe an "Advanced Search" option? It would have a console option, various keyword options (Like "Search for exact wording" or something like that), etc..

[Garamonde]

They're working on that.

The new search system will accept all of the common search modifiers (quotes for exact phrases, plus and minus for must and must not include respectively, and some others I can't think of right now). Advanced search won't likely be necessary as results will be separated by category though I'm open to suggestions if you think that system can be improved further.

Adding quotes for an exact match already works.

I love tech members here...

Barubary, any progress on the Icon Maker?

[Garamonde]

He will work on it, he's very busy TGE.

Can I suggest that we could make our avatars slightly larger, in terms of file size and resolution?

[Garamonde]

I would like this too but it would stretch things out too much.

[~Axis~]

Hmm... How about we stretch the WHOLE site to a slightly wider resolution?

[Dazz]

... I'm not going to even acknowledge that with an answer.
