  1. Where how can I search for a thread or threads that I know are there without having to scroll through endless pages of the same rubbish that has been pinned to the top of the page every single page some times years out of date !!!!
     
  2. You can only search on PC.
     
  3. Yes infamous but some people don't have PC access
     
  4. Well the OP was asking how to search for a thread on iDevice. I was informing him that you just simply can't and it can only be done on PC. Maybe some day iDevices and Droids will have the ability to search threads.
     
  5. Infamous is right
     
  6. NEOW LICK MEH NIHPPLES
     
  7. Forums for droid and idevice need some work...but it's not ATA's forum. Always the damn reason.
     
  8. Could have asked on questions thread
     
  9. Dark ghost has nailed this question. Sad but true ata won't change forums as they're not under their control per say
     
  10. Infamous is correct. Answered the question.

    Also, Google is an option. I fail to understand why kaw allows the forums to be indexed though.
     
  11. I device you can still google a specific topic. May not be the most convenient method but it works.
     
  12. DarkGhost "forum is not ATA's" its a lame excuse. Indeed phpBB is not ATA's its opensource. But phpBB offer them so many options. All is needed is to stop scratching their noses and work to improve forums. And talking about forums on mobile device, maybe spend the huuuuuuuge amount of $30/year and add Tapatalk support.
     
  13. If you took a glance at the phpBB MOD database you would be surprised at what is available for the forum interface via a mobile device. I've seen other forums with a karma meter, BB Code toolbox, search feature, and user control panel for mobile devices.
