does GBAtemp really need it?

can we atleast try not using it for a while as a test?

The wha'?

Are you referring to the "5 letter minimum" thingy in the Search function? On a forum where most queries consist of 3 letters?

"2.4e for EZF4"
"E3.4 for M3"
".sav for EBA"
".dpg on G6"
"GBM on SCL"

Or did you mean something else?

I used to see it so many times, I made the "flood control" message my signature...

I've never had problems with the searching flood control. Rarely use the search function as it sucks anyway.

"a while"... this means I don't know exactly when we changed it back
but it's probably weeks

I'm sure it wasn't working at the weekend, but admittedly it doesn't really matter when. Yay for 3 letters working!
