It's easy to suggest stuff, but take it from somebody that knows, PHP ain't easy. You might think it's just a little thing like adding a bar on the top of the page, but that one bar takes a lot of code.

I doubt the forums are top priority right now anyway. Gotta get the missing sections up first.

If you can't remember what you post and you think you'll need to know it later on for some reason, make a log or bookmark all your posts in your browser. Your reason for the username forum search was so you could see if you asked a question already. Search the forums for your question. You may not have asked it, but someone else might have and there might be an answer. Searching by user just seems pointless.
