Can't figure out how to search forums. There used to be a search box, but it moved somewhere... I wish popupchinese just used a mature platform with sorting, paging, stickies, and notifications rather than choosing to make their own mistakes...

The search box doesn't fit into the current popup chinese concept of daoism anymore. Now you have to search without searching, study without studying and listen without listening. See here: http://www.unshelved.com/2012-6-3 Become one with the forums and the right answers will come to you!
I refer you to Laozi on user interface design, in Chapter 3 of the Daode Jing:...不見可欲，使心不亂。是以聖人之治，虛其心，實其腹，弱其志，強其骨。常使民無知無欲。使夫知者不敢為也。為無為，則無不治。"...By not displaying things they will desire, [the sage-king] causes [the commoners'] minds not to be troubled. So it is that in the government of the sage-king, he empties their minds and fills their bellies, weakens their wills and strengthens their bones. Constantly he causes the commoners to be without knowledge or desire, and where there are those with knowledge, he keeps them from daring to take action. Through the practice of non-purposive action, nothing is left ungoverned."

wow.
I'll just become one with the spirit of the mainkind and stop studying languages. Ommmm....
I think we removed it during the second-to-last upgrade, when we redesigned the header with the click-down menu. I'll see if I can get it re-added today. In the meantime, perhaps you can use Google....
