Is is possible to add a search option of selecting age range? Instead of searching for date of joining USG, sorting by age is more useful. Thanks!

While on the search subject is it also possible to search by email or msn address?

Decent suggestion, but that would also mean displaying people's ages, and I'm not sure that everyone would want that. The software that runs the boards is bought/licensed software. I've modified only slightly, mostly making changes to graphics and incorporating the user gallery software. The software (VBulletin) really wasn't designed for hooking up with others. Maybe with future upgrades, they will incorporate more features.

There are a few new upgrades available for the board software, but after my last disaster upgrade for the user galleries when I lost the whole database, I've been hesitant to do any more. As they say, if it aint broke.....

Tom, you can acually search on the MSN, AIM, or ICQ if a user has put it in. Just go into the "Members List" at the top of the page, then click search, then "advanced search" and you can search people by various things. It's not great, but it's there.

Thanks for the search info and I would add having interests in other boards (sadly not sexy!) I can fully understand your "if it works" leave it alone approach!
