I too find the bug reporting bizarre - it's very unusual to open it up to the public. I personally do not like adding items directly to TRAC - especially as I do not really have the time to check if it is a duplicate, and my wasting the devs time by posting a duplicate is not very efficient.

I am undecided with Orca, it would not take too much to make it more usable. I don't think that I will ever be a serious competitor in the world of stand-alone forums, but it has some potential as an integrated see more product.

But, talking of forums - to add another epic fail - the search function here sucks!!

The default choice is to only search topic titles - so most people who search return an empty result - hence the common response of 'I searched for this but could not find and answer'. Why not make the default to search titles AND message body, with the option of de-selecting each item with check boxes, this will return the maximum amount of results - the user can then determine if THEY need to limit the results or try a different search term.

Then there is a further issue - the results are limited to one page of X results. You have a pagination module in Dolphin - why not use it!! It's no good limiting the number of results returned, often the answer does not appear in the displayed results as they mostly consist of posts asking the same question - this pushes the actual answer off of the results page.

So Sorry, but

Epic Fail and Bad Impression #7 is crappy search function.
