Forum about androidforums?

Is there a forum for questions/feedback/discussion about the site itself?

I had two questions:
1 - Is there any search available beyond keyword search? (i.e. complex search including not just keyword but author, forum, timeframe)?
2 - Is there any way to tell if I've read a message other than the timestamp? Some forums provide author of last post or some kind of highlight difference between read/unread. As far as I can tell a/f has neither?
 
The answer to your prequestion is that we usually ask about or discuss AF issues in the suggestion box. Admin moniters this forum in case there are site bugs or other issues he needs to be aware of. I've moved your thread here.:)

Now to your numbered questions:
  1. In the second menubar, the light blue one, is a link to Advanced Search which allows what you are looking for. Another option is to go to google and use a site tag. In other words you would google for "site:androidforums.com unforgiven useless posts" would return pretty much everything I ever posted as they are all useless.:p
  2. For threads with posts in them that you have not read there is a little blue dot before the thread. If you click the blue dot it will bring you to the first unread post (or the first post since you marked the forum read) or in threads you have never visited the first post. When in threads posts that are new since your last visit have a green ribbon on the top right hand side with the word "new" in it. There are numerous other ways as well, but these are the simplest.
 
Thanks, your reply covers both items well.

The features are already there. I kind of suspected as much...I just didn't think they would be so obviously in plain sight (don't know how I missed those). :confused:

Thanks again.
