The 2 things that would make this site perfect...

A way to search posts by f/f, f/m etc. Lots of posts have this in the title yet the search function wont pick it up

A notification of a reply on the message boards, instead of having to go back and check or just forgetting about the thread and not seeing a reply until a year later when you remember

If either of these are already a possibility let me know! Although I might not see it right away since there are no notifications

Go to your general settings, under messaging and notifications to fix the thread subscription setting.

As far as the search goes, there is a search box in the upper right corner and you can use it to search the whole forum and all posts, just thread titles, or just certain forum subsections.
