For your hard work, I wish to give the greatest thanks.

Oh yeah, attached images will now pop up a new window when you click on the thumbnail if the image is larger than 640x480. And eventually I'll get Mikopics up I swear T-T
Vyrien:
YES! SEARCH! I always wondered why that never worked for me :V

Search was disabled because the old built-in search functionality in SMF is insanely slow. Our forum is definitely tipping on the larger scale of things and it would literally take me weeks to build the search index. I've been hunting and evaluating fulltext search engines for a while and settled on Sphinx as SMF has a plugin for it they give out to big forum operators. Only challenging part was that it was developed and tested against MySQL, so I had to spend some time porting it to PostgreSQL (as usual lol). It's been sitting on my test box for a while now working, I was just waiting for SMF 2.0 final to come out before deploying it. The theme being tested and completed was my last hold up, I already certified all of my custom mods worked fine on SMF 2.0 final a while ago.
Vyrien:
Aaaah, I see, I always just thought it was because I didn't have enough posts or something. Thank you!
