I search this forum a lot and am struggling to get good results at times. How do I search for something with "led" and "panel" in the thread? In other forums I'd simply search on "+led +panel" without quotes and get what I'm looking for. Here I have to put in all kinds of different search parameters to find something that is often pretty simply if I knew what to look for.

I agree with you Andy. This site's search feature is not very user friendly, way before my joined date; and it still the same a year after my joined date but after awhile I'm used to it, lots more reading though. Sometimes I find its best to just google it and it will redirect me to either this forum or other forums which has relevant info to the topic.

Somewhen soon we will move the forum to a different software...

Maybe that will help...
