    On the Slate theme
    The quote text is somewhat difficult to read, because it white/dark grey text on light grey background.
    Also does the the topic name have larger font that previously?

      Yes. And/or bolder.

      @ all, seems the search is missing all the Advanced options such as the ability to search by date? I do that quite a lot looking for a recent thread to show someone. I search for "swap" has 600+ results dating back to 2013. :(

        @SteveITS yeah that is completely different - and doesn't seem like you can search by poster either. So date filtering missing, and poster.. Sure hope the back end stuff was good stuff because so far not to impressed with changes ;)

        Could the thumbs up icon be any bigger hahahah

        edit:
        Sure looks like its bigger than the posters avatar heheh

              is this something that can be looked at on the netgate side? Does the search items for date and poster work in other skins - I hadn't checked on that.. I would think that would be like common across all skins?

                @johnpoz I'd expect the skin to not affect a feature but 🤷 . More likely an on/off choice for it? Or, https://docs.nodebb.org has almost nothing on it except mentioning search plugins exist so maybe an updated plugin is needed.

                  I don't think I've ever used that. Where do you expect it to appear?

                    The search options? It was on the Search page. There was an Advanced Options banner IIRC, where one could expand it pick the account/author, newer than 2 weeks, date range, etc. Half a dozen options like that. Now it only shows the standard/not-advanced options on the left.

                    Useful if looking for a specific post or recent thread. A workaround for the author is to go to their profile page and look at their lists of posts but that requires knowing who posted it.

                        Yes it was on this forum site. IIRC a grey banner across the search page, under the initial search fields, down a bit on the page. Said Advanced Search or something like that. Sorry for being vague, didn't know to document it. :)

                        archive.org for it shows the redirect to /login.

                          Let me see, I can't see any setting for that in the admin, might be some incompatible plugin....

                            @stephenw10 well that would suck if this versions search doesn't allow you set dates, like before you could say only show results from the last week or month.

                            And I could look for just my own posts, or just yours for example - not anybody that ever used a title or title and post text that said "nic driver" for example..

                                  Advanced search options are restored. Not quite the same as before but should be functionally the same.

                                      @stephenw10 yeah I don't really care how it looks as long as functions and read it.. Seems to have the stuff like poster and date - sweet.
