Hi, Todd Can you add a search function to find member by their name? Because we have to read over 100K files to find a member, it is to slow! As you know, not all counties have fast Internet access even if in Japan. Br Zhengrong (26 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

Todd - How much of an inconvenience would it be for you to put in some basic form of link parsing for the part of the news server that accepts posts?

Todd, When I enter a message thru the web interface, then click preview, the raw text (in the edit window) comes back with hard line breaks at the end of each line. Why does this happen ?
