Please be nice this month.

I was testing the search function as described. I wasn't searching for anything in particular on that occasion, but testing capabilities and the ordering of the search results has me baffled and the inability to filter without getting a timeout error every time. I won't add more to the issue but if others are experiencing the same frustrations then they can voice them here. I'll add that I don't search all the time, but if I was looking for a specific thread or post then I would do and this outcome would not help me find what I was looking for sadly.

Good riddance.

I'm sure it's well documented and something to look into, but it should be possible to "sort" your search results without being given a timeout every time causing you to do the search again. Just attempted a search with the word "Scavenger" to follow @PeteFromLeeds previous reported issue. The results come up fast and provide every post from a thread with that word in the title, but the results are not sorted from most recent results which is generally what you would expect to see. So then when you go to try and sort the results by date (which should be the default anyway), this is what happens; This is just so problematic and it renders the search facility rather pointless if you can't narrow down the results you are trying to find.

I can host a listenthrough for any interested on Monday evening. 🥳

@k👠th I managed it! 😄

Couldn't the two threads for the "rules of BJSC" and "veto framework" be merged into one pinned thread instead seeing as they basically explain the same thing in slightly different ways? That would save one pinned thread spot. I also feel that the BJSC World Maps thread could be combined somewhat with the registration thread if it was pinned to the opening few posts and then any updates can be shared as @diva thin muffin sees fit. Then part of the registration for new nations in the future could include to pick their plot of land. Just a thought.

So committed to the chart Radio 1. Ty.

"Committed" is an overstatement. But yes, I take your point overall. It is what it is and I guess we should count ourselves lucky that we get to listen to Lose Control multiple times every month on a Friday afternoon as @Julian_ points out!

sarcasm? 🤔😄

It may well be, but clearly if "more important" matters are taking place the chart show will get shunted as we all know. Having a seperate space just for chart stuff would be better for everyone concerned and a more interative space with comments/reactions/etc... would draw in audiences too.

Is terrestrial radio still the way forward though? It seems like a 21st century move would be to have the chart show hosted on a streaming platforms via a live podcast, or even via YouTube? It would still be accessible to millions of listeners who want to seek out such a weekly show rather than the casual listener.
