    Hi I'm new here, but been around the community forever... Just want to say very nice site. Keep up the good work. Simple is king.... Anyway here is the bug.. Your search on the main page,while function is not picking up everything...

    Do a seach for FOX.... see what you get... or Command.

    under NDS you should get #832, #540 and #511.. But you only get #511

    EDIT: I have to retract something.. I was very impressed with the site till I notice you use a points system to download. At the moment, its not in effect. Which is very very good. One think I REALLY hate about a site is the limits it puts on its users. I know that the few out there who want to get EVERY SINGLE ROM in a sitting ruins it for those like myself who come to get 1 or 2.. But at the moment not having to deal with limits it what made me decied to join your forum and help with the search bug... However if the points system gets turned on, I might just get turned away to go else where. where there isnt such a limit. I know you really don't need me or will miss me but thats ok. i'm just voicing my openion.

    The limit system is in effect, but only for certain roms, namely PSX and possibly PSP (can't remember) It will also include saturn isos when we get them online. Most systems are and always will be free. This system is to prevent people from mass downloading huge roms and causing issues for us and other visitors, thus the use of the system ensures we can keep providing roms to people like yourself. It is not by choice on our part; but by necessity. We have one of (if not the best) servers in the scene, we are doing this to ensure we keep that server.

    You get 50 points free every night, so its not hard to get them.

    search bug confirmed, a fix will have to wait until Seph returns next weekend, as I can't understand his code. I will inform him of it.

    Simple design, site is not cluttered with crap. It is very pleasing to come in with a site that doesnt cause you seasures with all the flashing banners and graphics... I hate sites that look like every gaming console out puked on the front page... :) Wii_grin

    We hate sites like that too. Which is why we aren't one of them ;)

    Can I reuse this topic? :p

    Searching for "video" for GBAs did not show the Pokemon videos (1549, 1550, 1683, 1684) and one yugi vid (1582).

    Only possible issue for the mentioned videos not showing in the search results was that the word "video" was inside a parenthesis.

    It's not a bug, the video part is in a parenthesis so it's thought of as a tag.

    besides, the official name of the Pokemon videos is Volume x.
