I don't know if this is feasible or not, but it would also be nice to do a search of the posts a person made without having to find one of their posts first. As it stands, if I knew i wanted to find a post that say Larry made a while back. First, I have to find one of his posts, then click on his name, and select "find all posts by Larry". Searching with search terms "Larry", at this point, with the search function, doesn't work, unless he's talking about himself and it's in the text of his message. Labour-intensive, IMO. However, I don't know if the board's system is capable of doing it any other way. Maybe if they're set up as a buddy?

Use the advanced search, it offers exactly what you want to do.
The link is at the bottom of the search box that pops up and it's called "Advanced Search".
Or go straight to it: http://www.dr1.com/forums/search.php

And if you click on " threads started" by larry"rather than "posts" that cuts down on the results. You can also unclick the "exact username" if you are not sure how someone spells it.

It's always been there. ;)

Well I'm sure if I had three young kids I wouldn't have as much time to play with all these buttons. :)

I think that a spot on the page for pictures would be cool. As it is now alot of people miss it, and have to go to the original DR1 page to find them.

There should also be a section where the pictures are separated-places and hotels separate from the stuff that people would put in photo albums, like individual and group pictures.

This way, if someone wanted to see pictures of Punta Cana or any other place, they could go right to the spot and check them out.

I think this would help people wanting info on places in the DR to see with their own eyes what a certain location and/or hotel looks like.
