There are two things that are an absolute nightmare to follow in vB: promotions and the search engine. And I still havn't checked the MySQL documentation to see if there is a string length function and if I can use it on a text type field.

This is certainly an idea with merit, but for now, I'm going to have to prioritize the forum upgrade. Speaking of which, why the hell isn't anyone testing it? I'm sure that there's all sorts of style issues I havn't noticed, but the only one reported is the quick reply. I really don't want to switch over then drown in problems.
