Suggestion: Searchable forums

Post by Kamano

I know that the forums are currently rather small and navigable, but considering the size of the community, they will be exponentially larger in short order, and finding posts you want will be more and more difficult to do with the current layout. Adding a search specific to the forums would be great, plus it would help keep down spam of the same topic over and over. It'd be great if there was a small search box in the top right of the forum frame, just up where the "currently in beta" bar is now. Good placement to make the search option obvious would likely help in gently "suggesting" that one search before making a new topic.

Also, I know it's been said before, but here's a couple other small ideas:

Allow armory links in our avatar area (say under the <WoWhead rank> bit)
Different ranks for under our avatars based on our WoWhead rep. It wouldn't be much, but just to help show off those that are appreciated for their contributions.
Also the ability to "tag" forums topics as favorites would be great.
And finally: Please NEVER allow user-chosen avatars. The WoW icon only idea fits perfectly, don't ever change it. =)

The search function is currently in development. Thanks for the other feedback, too :)
