  On behalf of *all* of us I want to publicly thank him for all the fine work he's done as your Friendly Neighbourhood Moderator... not only has he kept the conversations civil but we also have a fantastic FAQ section and very useful Buyer/Seller feedback that are a direct result of his efforts!!
  
  Don't worry...he's not leaving....just decided to hand the keys over to someone else.
  
  Once again Tyler... on behalf of all of us... thanks muchly !!!!

   Hey, how about fixing that search function.

  Beyond my feeble powers sadly... code changes are required. ;-)

• Hmm. I wonder how hard it would actually be to change. What do you want fixed?
  What is the issue exactly?
  
  
  I could look into phpbb and see what could be the problem and suggest solutions to you vince?
  
  Im sorta studying code right now at uni.

• Thank You Tyler and Vince.
  
  I've was a forum mod on another board way back in the day. It is truly a labor of love. Appreciate you both taking the time.

• Aww shucks :oops:
  
  Thanks guys. I really enjoyed moderating the forum however lately I've found that a shortage of time was leaving my moderating duties unattended to. Vince was willing to step up to the plate so hats off to him.
  
  Try and give him a hard time guys

• Nice job, Tyler.
  
  Good luck, Vince.

• :!:  Vince has some big shoes to fill, but I'm glad he has stepped up.
  
  Thanks Tyler, I know i've annoyed you more than once for help/opinion... good job dude.
• #10 by Jettage1 on 20 Feb, 2009 08:50
• Tyler, my thanks too!
  
  And thanks to Vince for stepping up.  Your valuable input has been appreciated - nice to know you have even more reason to hang around!  :lol:

  Thanks Ed...
  
  By default the code is configured so that the first radio button under Search ("look for ANY terms") is the default, which of course means you get hundreds of results, most of which are not helpful.
  
  There's a well-known patch to make the second button the default (search for "ALL terms")... just needs to be done to the code and Mods don't have code access.
  
  Marc's smokin' busy so not high on his list no doubt... I'll bump the previous request for this mod but we'll just have to be patient... this is a volunteer org after all. ;-)

  Vince is the perfect add-on to the mod team. congratz.

• Yeah it has been great job that Tyler has done. I wouldn't even begin to have that kind of time.
  
  I have also wondered about an anything else section. Maybe the general forum is where to go with it, but I was thinking a place just to talk about stuff maybe not generally related to VW...if there is such a thing. LOL. Kind of like this thread, not VW related, and wouldn't clutter up the IDI section. Maybe more for guys who wanted to share BBQ recipes with fellow dubbers. Just a thought and it might be a horrible one as the site is so great now that I wouldn't want it to change for the worse.
  
  great job Tyler. Good luck Vince.
