Yep McGrath, their user inferface is lousy and they could certainly learn lessons from MC and using SQL server and Verity (and given space to store), MC's search facilities are IMO based on what I have seen, unsurpassed. As for what you would like to see, me too!

I do however believe there is a fundamental design weakness (I'm guessing there is no separate forum bit in the DB structure) in the MC database structure (resolvable by Max) that has stopped it being a good option for many would be clients who for what ever reason do not wish to operate an "all lumped together forum".

As for volume, I'm still not sure it is lower: Just check out their Aaliyah thread.
