    Boards.ie is huge. It can be hard sometimes for me to find a particular board using the currect menu navigation system, and I've been here for years. I can only imagine how difficult it must be for newbies. What I was thinking might be handy is a search box on the front page where a user can search for a forum on a subject they are interested in. The search box would only search through the forum names and descriptions. Is this possible?

    I've been away for a while so apologies if this is already here or if there is another, better way being used but if there is it's not very obvious.

    So just set up a group of keywords for each forum kind of thing?

    Sounds like a good plan

    Yes, nice idea but say you were looking for Skateboards, you'd put that into the existing search system and you'd get a load of results from the Extreme Sports board... that should really be a clue, neh?

    I was thinking of something similar the other day when it took me 5 minutes to find the David Hasselhoff forum. That'll teach me to sub important fora, I suppose.
