Does the search function not work anymore?

I'm pretty sure the other boards I'm on are "straight outta the box" so I dunno why this is the only one that loves to mark everything read when you close a window.

But that bit about the search abuse makes perfect sense. Seems like you could just put some kind of flood control on it tho, like limit users to one search every minute.

Not that YOU should have to code this. It sounds like a vulnerability that the phpBB devs should address, if they haven't already.
