About the other feature: that is possible. I will add it to our list

In which ways do you think the search does not work good enough? I did some changes a few weeks back and I am not sure those were an improvement.

I think a search just doesn't show/ find all matches.

Example: If I search for "Nottingham", all I get is 1 result (a topic where the show from 83 is requested) no matter if I search in titles only or in titles and messages. It doesn't show me the Bootleg request topic, though, where Remy requested the same show a few days ago.

Hmm thought you meant the Quick Search on top of every page. That only searches in topic titles at the moment.

The other search should work searching in messages though. We will have a look at it.

yeah

Fixed. There was a issue which prevented the search into the messages. So it was only searching in the titles no matter which mode you picked. Can you have a go to test it?

I might add searching into messages into the Quick Search if it doesnt slow it down to much.

It searched into the messages before, I guess. A search for "Dirty" for example gave plenty of results without the mentioned word in the topic title.

Looks more complete now, though.

It worked sometimes. To be specific it worked if there were more than 100 results. If the amount was less then it didnt retrieve the results. So searching on popular terms worked a lot better than on less popular search terms

Fixed a bug in the Catalogue. For some languages the catalogue did not load. This should be fixed now!

If there are any issues please let us know!

New feature for the Catalogue. A search field that searches in date and location. Very handy to see all shows in Amsterdam during the last three tours

Or to find all broadcasts from France

EDIT:
If there are any issues with the new functionality reload using Ctrl-R or Ctrl-F5 to clear browser cache.

Minor update to the site, major update to the UBB-code system of the site. Using our own custom made parser we hope to make things easier for our members:

Every breaking wave

On the shore

Tells the next one there’ll be one more



Every gambler knows

That to lose

Is what you’re really there for



Somewhere else, fearlessness

Now I’m speaking to an answer phone

Like every silent leaf

On the breeze

Winter wouldn’t leave it alone



Ay hey now

Ay hey now



I don’t know if I’m that strong

I don’t know if I’m that strong

Don’t know if I’m that strong

To be somebody

To need someone



Every sailor knows that the sea

Is a friend made enemy

Every shipwrecked soul

Knows what it is

To live without intimacy

I thought I heard the master’s voice

It’s hard to listen while you preach



Like every broken wave

On the shore

This was as far as I can reach



Ay hey now

Ay hey now



I don’t know if I’m that strong

I don’t know if I’m that strong

Don’t know if I’m that strong

Got to be somebody

To need someone



The waves know

We’re on the rocks

Drowning is no sin



You know

That my heart

Is the same place yours has been



We know

The fear of winning

So we end before we begin



The waves know

We’re on the rocks

Drowning is no sin



You know

That my heart

Is the same place yours has been



We know

The fear of winning

So we end before we begin

Some important improvements to the UBB system. Should be more reliable and better now. YouTube clips in quotes are automatically replaced with a link.

Also terrible ubb code like this:

Code: [img][pre][b][u]TEST

Can still be interpreted by the system as followes:
