That's cool! But what exactly do you mean by "write to them?". Do you mean as in contact the administrator? Or as in click on some link and post some of your own code, and then an admin (i. e. Xander) will review it and accept these changes provided they're better?

Wait... Maybe Xander can make some sense of this.

@haydenstudios Check out phpBB's website.

Aha! Thanks for the link.

You can search in Google, you know.

ever tried to find
astar
by Google search in our MB forums?

(of course I already found my old astar thread.... ;) )

I do it every single time that I want a question answered, but I didn't know even what to google. So that's when you need a link instead.

I actually don't see in which respect this "Google search"discussion leads us further ahead.
My example was:
search for "astar" in this forum.
Neither the forum search nor the Google search leads to any results.
So what?

Me and studbrickmaster were talking about google searching for the phpBB website, not for your "astar" topic.

Well I would say that if you wanted to find the phpBB website with google, you would type 'phpBB' into google.

I believe you miss interperet my words. You see, I did not think to visit the phpBB website for information on doing what I questioned the possibility to do. And it was for that reason that I needed something more than just a google search.
