    A note on these so people don't have to refer back here all the time:

    User Control Panel can be found by clicking your screen name in the top right corner.

    Advanced search options can be found by clicking the drop down menu at the bottom left of any thread or the pages listing threads (not the main pages), by this I mean anywhere you can make a post. (If ya get what I'm saying.) --OR-- do a search for asdlfjmsdlkf in the search bar, and below where it tells you it couldn't find anything, it'll ask you to search again, bringing you to the search page. (Click more options for old style advanced search)

    I will note that the search function does appear to work much better now! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" /> It no longer searches only the first post of threads! <i>Fantastic!</i>

    Help is found in the same drop down menu I was talking about for search.

    All of this info should hopefully become outdated as things get tweaked though I imagine.

    I mean, I can't imagine them hiding the search functionality the moderators are so <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=102313" target="_blank">eager</a> to make everyone use it all the time. Particularly now that it seems to work!

    I wouldn't really say the search is hidden... it's at the top of every page!

    It doesn't appear they have the search set at Full Text / Advanced, unfortunately. The search box that shows up is way to limited.

    By clicking on ones name on the upper right one SHOULD get his/her user profile. I have no clue why it sends you to the UCP but it's incorrect. Hopefully that will be fixed.

    The dropdown menu is fine but very few people will use it. All of this stuff should be in the member bar or userlinks up top, at least by default.
