Oh hey there

It's a metaphor for the 07s' lack of identity. too old to be newfa­g, yet too new to be oldfa­g, we wander b.net in search of a home, forever trying to be something we are not.

So I'm in my private group forum looking through page after page of old threads trying to find one in particular that is designated for discussion of a certain topic that isn't pinned. While flipping through these pages I think to myself "I wonder if I can search for a thread in private group forums..." Of course you can't. (At least not that I could find) So I gave up searching for the thread in frustration and came here instead.

I think that the ability to search Private Group forums that you are a part of would be a great addition to the search feature. The name of the group forum would be added to the drop down list of forums that you are given when filling out the parameters of your search as long as you are a member of that group.

Seems like a good idea to me.

Basically a search bar just for the private group? Sounds good to me.

Yeah, that'd be sweet, I hate looking through pages and pages of threads. I never find what i'm looking for.

I'd like this.

*Thumbs up!

"You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space." -Johnny Cash

This would be a nice feature to have, but I would rather have the feature be put into private groups rather than it being integrated into the searchbar. Maybe a thread/post search bar could be put above the group's forum or something? I just would rather have it as a feature for groups that's easily accessable in groups than somewhere else.

A search function for Private Chapters would be fantastic. I really hope something like you've described shows up in the next version of BNet.

It would be good to be part of the individual group rather than the search bar itself. This is of course assuming that the search feature itself is upgraded.

That would be quite a useful thing to have actually. That happens to me from time to time.

I am not sure as far as features go, but I am pretty confident that in the New Hawtness, there will be some overhaul to the groups.

The fact that DeeJ made a new thread for avatar and user themes, but explicitly asked for no Group themes, indicates that the format that we have now is not what will be used in the future.
