When you do an advanced search you can select which forum you want searched and there’s a box with a check mark in it that says “Also search in child forums”. Is there a Dope Jr out there somewhere that I’m unaware of? ---

[QUOTE=Cluricaun] When you do an advanced search you can select which forum you want searched and there’s a box with a check mark in it that says “Also search in child forums”. Is there a Dope Jr out there somewhere that I’m unaware of? [/QUOTE] Child forums, I believe, are sub-forums within an existing forum. If we were to start a “TV Shows” forum, for instance, it could be a child forum of Cafe Society. We currently don’t have any (that I’m aware of). This is just my understanding from seeing various vBulletin forums, I don’t have any experience managing them, and therefore may be wrong. Should do until someone who knows what they’re talking about comes around. ---

We don’t. The message board software we use gives you the option to create new forums under a forum, and the search gives you an option of searching in a forum itself, or in that forum and all the fora under it. ---

Computer saviness, I do not posess you. Thanks for the answers… Though it was nice to imagine that there was a Dope out there for 5 and 6 year olds, where the Cafe Society is full of threads about Blues Clues and Raffi albums. 😃 ---

**Cluricaun** : I imagined more of a board like a bad spinoff series, when the network execs think the audience exists for a show based around the main characters when they were younger. ---

You must be at least 13 to register, it says so in the agreement. Where do you think that other part of our population goes? ---
