Finding the oneWorld forum for searches
When you are in Search and want to select a forum to search, everything is in alphabetical order except oneWorld. It's down at the end.
I assume (please correct me if I'm wrong) that this is because you wrote oneWorld properly with an initial lower-case letter; the Search function sorts forums alphabetically rather than taking their standard order, and lower-case sorts after upper-case in the ASCII code.
However, it makes it hard to find oneWorld.
My suggestion is, if it's too much work to fix the UBB software to be case-insensitive, to ignore typographic correctness and use an upper-case "O" so this forum sorts correctly.
