Getting alot of challenges, I'm pretty lazy and don't feel like looking through all of them to find somthing. How bout it.

Yes, I agree with this. 2 1/2 yrs later, there are beyond a lot of challenges. There are a lot of 'revisited', 'II', 'III', etc challenges. There are people that like to go back and look at the 'original' challenges. A lot of scrolling. And usually, for me, what happens is, I scroll, and scroll, and scroll, and get to the end to find I have missed what I am looking for. :-( So, I start repeating the scrolling, up, and up and up... About this time, I am getting buggy-eyed, and a bit dizzy. So then I sometimes fall out of my chair. Since Bruce (my aligator cat some of you may know or remember) is usually close by me, helping to vote and comment, (or just in hopes of seeing a cool abstract), ... So, usually a near-miss on falling on Bruce. This spooks him, and he goes flying to the bedroom, and jumps up on the bed to Sheila (my wife), thus waking her up. So Sheila comes out, wondering what freaked out Bruce. Upon seeing me dizzily climbing up from the floor and back into my chair, she freaks out and comes over all concerned and everything, to see what is wrong with me. I explain it to her, then she, quite upset, grumbles about losing sleep and heads off back to bed. So, next day, I call her at work, and she is tired and crabby, and has no problem letting me know it! So, then I go to work in a foul mood from the exchange with Sheila. Being in a foul mood at that point, my work is not totally up to par, and my tips suffer. So then I have less money to spend on things, so I buy less. Then you have, like a big chain reaction, and everybody makes less money. With the stress and tension of less money, then everyone starts fighting with their spouses, boyfriends, SO's, friends, family, colleagues, total strangers, etc, etc. This escalates, so then we have break-ups, falling outs, road rage, war, etc.

So....yeah, it's not a real big deal, but would be nice to be able to search the challenge history, not a fancy search, but be able to quickly find a known past challenge. Or even in repeat challenges, provide a hot link on the challenge detail page. Just for the sake of Bruce's well being, Sheila's sleep, my financial security, global economy, inter-personal relationships, good will to your fellow man, love, and world peace, could we at least consider it :-)

ps- Bruce would really appreciate it!

I fully agree, a search even just for challenge titles would be GREAT :)

In the meantime, if you "show all challenges at once", then do a Ctrl F to bring up the find box, you can search the challenges that way. Saves heaps of scrolling... : )

was going to suggest this as well, but maybe some people are using less-featured browsers or something.

Man, I envy all you guys that know all the hot key shortcuts. My wife is like that...rarely ever touches the mouse. I'm just a dull-witted point and click guy. One of these days, I need to make a list of all those neat little hot keys. Just think of all the countless lives that could be saved!

In the amount of time it takes to make a list and then later look them all up you could just memorize them instead.

Or just click Edit > Find and then you don't need to memorize a shortcut.

Or just press Ctrl+F so that you don't have to memorize Edit > Find.

<-- Wondering what an achille's heel is.

I think anyone would be hard pressed to come up with a better argument than that!

ps I'd appreciate it too.
