Hi Belladonna! Those aren't stupid questions, I promise. No question is a stupid one. (Seriously though, don't feel bad. I once forgot how to start a new topic.)
Ashleg answered the timezone question (The forum's auto time is indeed GMT). But I'm going to poke in my nose anyway!
To get the correct time, click the profile button up at the top. (The one with Brian Jacques' face on it) In the "Modify Profile" drop down, click "Look and Layout" and it should be right at the top of that page. :) I hope that helps! And welcome to the crazy forum family!

If your modify profile button actually works. *indistinguishable muttering*

Heyyy, I hate to be a bother. But my PM inbox has been driving me insane for months.

You know how you can click on a message link and it'll take you down the page to the message? When I click it, it just takes me to the first page in my inbox. Since I'm lazy and forget, it's annoying. Any way that can be fixed?

If I remember right this is a bug with the PM mod we use.

It can be fixed, but it won't be a quick process. It depends on getting the theme work I'm doing over at Loamhedge done, so that I can get the forum something of a fresh slate on the backend without it ruining the way everything looks for months.

@Corn:  If you go to the Personal Messaging section of your profile settings and check the box "Show most recent conversation at top of list", that could help. :)

Oh, okay. If it's going to take a while/be a bother don't worry about it, my lazy butt will just deal with it. :)

That's the way I've always had my Inbox set up and always will. When I click the message for it to scroll me down the page, it flips.

I have the same issue. I have just had to scroll down instead of clicking.

So weird. My inbox always scrolls me down the page to the message when I click on the message link. I never had that box "Show most recent personal messages at top" clicked, but when I just now clicked it, I got the flipping thing. As long as you have that box unclicked, yours should scroll too. And to avoid having to jump to the last of however many pages are in your inbox to see the most messages, I sort all my messages into folders based on the sender, so all of the new messages in my inbox fall onto one page anyway.

Are there any plans to fix the search function of the forum so that it shows every result rather than only one result per topic?

This has been an issue for quite a while, and it's very annoying when you're trying to find a post.

To the best of my knowledge that's just how the forum software works. There might be an addon that changes it, but I'm not confident.

If you hit the "Search results as messages" box, it should display the result you're looking for in each individual post, including posts in the same thread. Otherwise it'll return only the most recent hit of the search phrase from a topic. It isn't accurate to say that it's "broken", so much as a feature with a default setting that people might not like (for understandable reasons). There might be an option to change it, if people want me to look into that.

(It's worth noting that this is only an option with advanced search; with regular I suppose it defaults to annoying mode.)
