PS:
I dunno if this is somehow changable in the settings, but these are my impressions of this forum as a first time user:
1) It's difficult to search for threads with non-spelled numbers..
2) The thread locking seems a bit unecessary, and it's also hard to see what was locked because of the cross-out line..
3) The search results return a huge list of posts instead of a list of threads that you can click to get a list of posts.
The locking is mainly to make sure old/dead threads don't get dragged up for whatever reason. A response to something from three weeks prior is more likely inciting flame than arguing.
And for your searching issues:
