website usability issues

    Hey there, 

    im still having some issues using the (new) website:

    -the search function works pretty bad. I can't find the website update topic where i initially wanted to write this or several old stuff. It seems that the search algorithm here only looks up the post content of a topic and only if the search tearm is exactly like I typed. 
    Would it be possible to enhance the search function here ? 

    -making a post is quite annoying when using the < > symbols (for lua scripts) . They get removed, messing up everything i write inside. Also when typing inside a code box and pressing Return to make a new line inside the code box, it creates a whole new codebox underneath. 

    -mobile view is limited : why? I have to rotate my smartphone everytime to have the extra buttons i need to even write a topic... Thats weird. I know this has something to do with limited space on a phone display, especially when holding it vertically, but there are so much possibilities to solve this. Hope to see a solution to this razz

    thats all for now, folks

    You need to use Shift+ENTER
    for a new line. Meanwhile, ENTER

    is used for a new paragraph.

    I agree with the bad searching for trying to search for forum posts.

    I have been searching the forums trying to work out how to do some basic stuff with lua without any results coming up.

    I find some stuff with the google site: method but still not what I was after.

    Also sometimes the site jumps to german DE language and I have to switch back to english for some reason.

    Most of the Lua stuff is on the wiki not the forum. There's also a lot of new Lua funtions & Lua stuff that Simon has been typing up on this thing SimonS created for adding Lua syntax & examples.

    Thanks for the link at a quick look it seems pretty good and nice to know that's where all the current/new documentation for lua scripting is going.

    Thanks,
    Anthony
