It would be nice to be able to search within specific forums. Nothing too pressing or urgent, but helpful to further pinpoint a thread that a user knows exists but didn't think they needed at the time they first read it (and as a result, they didn't bookmark it or add it to their watch list).
For example, if I enter into the Genome Comparison forum from the Index, any searching I do with the handy bar up top returns results from every forum.
Now, better searching can always be accomplished via better key term choices. However, a simple radio button labeled "Search only within this forum" would further narrow searches. Like stated above, this isn't a urgent demand, just perhaps eventually should get done if others agree with me.

Added sample Search form to find the OP (Opening Post) and additional points related to hardware and software changes & testing and provision of screen-shots.

Please keep it coming laymen, lads & lassies

Have added few questions related to WCG(UD) Agent (potential conflict due multiple copies of e.g. UDTAPI.DLL.)

A new copy: and still a work in progress, capturing ideas for incorporation into an error reporting form.... agent focussed at this time. Feel free to add suggestions on this particular subject including proposals if things are not "layman" enough:

Problem reporting for the Client performing the Science computations:

For BOINC, look in the message log file "stdoutdae.txt" for anything that is related to the invalid Work Unit error like memory alerts... disk or ram and copy past into your post.

• Some Self Help tips
  
• For Community maintained explanations and pointers: Start Here: Community-maintained FAQs [read only]
  
• To look for specific words or phrases enter them in the box next to in quotation marks like
  "This post to help find prior problem discussions" (try it now with the bolded text!) See Note II
  
• The Search Form - linked in title bar of all forum pages - allows more detailed querying on words, author, and a specific subject forum.

Ideally we would have a formal error reporting tool, that would flow into a Knowledge Base (KB), but that's dreamworld for now. The idea is to copy past the Questionnaire into a post and add the information behind it, so we all know which items of interest have been completed. Maybe we could get a permanent error reporting link to the form in the Forum header section once fully matured? (hint hint)

We thank u for completing the form, sharing ideas for improvement in this thread and posting the Q&A with your issue query including any screen-prints. You can send us the form, use copy/paste with any screen-prints thru a Contact_Us email. It will assist the support staff, who will endeavour to provide a response as soon as technically possible. Be patient as a reply can take a few days. In the meantime read the fora, as a problem sometimes does not come alone and more members might experience the same issue momentarily.

A newest copy v. 2.19: And still a work in progress, capturing ideas for incorporation into an error reporting form.... agent focussed at this time. Feel free to add suggestions on this particular subject including proposals if things are not "layman" enough. Some giddy stuff added where one at first thinks like "never thought that possible" and it is:

You can send us the form, use copy/paste with any screen-prints thru a Contact_Us email. Attach the following files to your support request, ideally zipped (BOINC clients only):

• account_www.worldcommunitygrid.org.xml
