A couple of quick notes:
1) Site search updated: I'm revamping the site search as a whole, but the board search feature should hopefully now be more stable. A recent server update that was done last week, along with a software update this morning should fix the issue I've had recently with the index. As a result, searches should hopefully work much better, so we'll see if that continues to be the case.
2) Mute Button reminder: Please don't be hesitant when it comes to utilizing this feature. I put it together because it's a convenient temporary solution in one thread to remove someone you're not interested in seeing. If you mute someone, it doesn't carry over to any thread outside of that one.
People seem hesitant, potentially afraid that they'll have to unmute someone later on. However, it's not like the ignore function (which causes you to have to un-ignore them later if you don't want it to be permanent). It was developed to be a quick and easy solution to control your experience in a given thread.
Granted, I did add a forum-wide and Block user (to make your posts no longer viewable to them site-wide), but the original mute options are meant to be an easy thread-specific way to turn off posts from someone (or an interaction between multiple posters) who is bothering you in that thread, or you believe is detracting from the conversation.
Everyone is going to have an opinion, and the mods and I aren't here to tell people how to think. But for those who would rather not hear from someone, that's also why that was put together, so don't be afraid to use it.
Other things, including a layout change on here, are still in the works, but I'll get into those at a later date.
But for now, the icon in the top right will direct you to the normal board search which, as I mentioned, should now hopefully be a little more useful than it had been.
