There's an alternate way to search DPC using Google. Here's the way...
Go to //www.google.com
In the search field, type the following...
border site:dpchallenge.com
It will pull up everything on DPC that includes the word "border" including forum posts, comments, etc.
You can also search your username to find pics, comments, etc...
UserName site:dpchallenge.com
Why am I suggesting this? Well, first of all, one of the biggest server slowdowns is excessive database searches. By using this, you'll offload the server load onto Google instead of DPC.
Secondly, you actually get a "preview" of the results so you don't need to aimlessly click on subjects and try guessing what's inside.
If anyone knows any other Google secrets, feel free to post.

For those amongst us with poor vocab, the Google define: keyword is very useful.
define:camera

Better yet, install the free Google toolbar, and you can search the site from within dpc. Just type your keyword(s), then to the right, click the dropdown box and select "Current Site".

| an even better idea would be to replace the mostly broken search function with an embedded google search... |
