Add a damn search button to the forums and for the sake of everything good and holy PLEASE remove the useless black border on the right side of the page!

Firstly, I would love to know why Bungie uses a forum system with no search function. It is serisouly not hard for a huge company to use make a search system for the current forum or even switch to a forum system that does. Please do it, having to search though pages and pages of a forum (With only a few topics per page which should be at least 25) is very time consuming, especially if people browsing are on dial-up.

Secondly, look at the right side of the page>>>
You have a huge black wasted space that is like 7CM wide. WTF is the point in that? You could fit more words per line, add a menu, ANYTHING, just please remove it. Surely everything left of the menu could auto expand to adjust to peoples resolutions like many other sites, but 7CM wide of wasted space is just extremely poor website design.

One last thing - Am I the only person that has trouble scrolling on this site? The site scrolls down extremely slow and it's only this site. It could be the flash menu at the bottom and top that causes this.

Bungie owes you nothing. They may eventually get around to addressing some of your complaints, but if you don't like these forums, then shut your pie-hole and leave.

I see nothing wrong with the format of this site. Yes, it would be helpful to have a search engine, but I'm not worried to much about it. And by the way, I have dial up and I still manage to go through here with relative ease.

Wow, you're a tool. I never once said Bungie owed me anything. The fact is there is no search for a forum that gets pages in each forum over the 500 page mark and not having a search engine for this forum is complete idiocy,

Sit the f*** down and shut the f*** up.

I'm allowed to state what I think on a public forum and guess what Galaga - There is NOT A THING you can do about it.

Does it have something to do with what resolution people use? Cuz I serisouly don't see how a professional web designer could make a website that has a 7CM blank space. If it is, the width should automatically adjust.

Infact the actual forum space (Minus the forum menu) only makes up for 6/10ths of the width of the page, the menu only makes up for 1/2 of the width.

Actually pyroteq, Galaga was right (partly; the false quote isn't exactly something that us mods like to see)

You see, they recently, and currently, were and are in the process of maintaining their game, and if they were to add a search function to their forums, would want it to work right, etc. So, for now, they'll spend their time on what's really important, and less so on satisfying people like you

And if you've paid attention at all during updates, you'd know that a search function is very much a priority for Bungie to throw in, so long as they find the time to do it

And this is a topic that is better off in a lil place that I like to call The Septagon
