Hi, Guys.
Whenever I try to find some kind of info here on this forum, it brings up a hippo-load of hits. The one this morning was like thousands of pages of hits.
When I'm so new to this, and I'm just trying to find something which should be so easy to find, and I'm getting inundated with so many hits by searching, you can't just say I should use the search feature.
I DID use search, but since it's not able to help me, I created a thread.
Best to use Google and throw in dd-wrt with whatever you are searching for.
Also if you know someone (author of -- on dd-wrt forums) you can put that in a Google search also.
The search feature on the forums tis not the best for sure.
Most answers are out there and/or people willing to help but wanting a quick fix usually is a bad idea and you don't learn much either going that route. If these forums were let to run-a-muck they would quickly become unusable to all....they already teeter on the edge now days
Heck, I sifted thru here and elsewhere for 7 years before I ever made a post in these forums......still don't know much but I did learned a lot along the way.

Keep calm Carry on

(whatever you are looking for) then add site:http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/ to it.
Should work for you.
Edit - Doh I was beaten to the punch by mrjcd
Awesome! Thanks, guys. This definitely helps.
...and man, it's so refreshing to hear it like that.
I have done this for other sites for...well....ever since it became possible to do with Google. However, for some reason, in light of how freakin outlandishly cool and advanced DD-WRT is, it never occurred to me to need that here lol
I will indeed give that a try when searching here from now on (as much as I think of it to do so).
