    i found 2 problems with powdertoy:

    1. please fix the search box in powdertoy itself. if i am looking for a creation called 'the best and most powerful bomb ever', i would type exactly that in the search box. half to three quarters of the time, it displays everything (i mean EVERYTHING that has nothing to do with my search) but 'the best and most powerful bomb ever'. PLEASE ADDRESS!!

    2. when you click 'open creation in powdertoy, then go to powdertoy itself and try and download it, it does not even display. i can rarely find it using the search feature, PLEASE ADDRESS!! i just discovered i have to be signed in to download. can you please change this?

    3. sometimes, when powdertoy loses focus (i.e. you start using, or 'focus' on another program), it won't allow you to click any buttons when you reopen it.

    i have listed everything in my order of preffered fixes. (i.e. please fix issue 1 then 2 then 3)

    if you have any other issues as well, please post them here

    The downloading problem might be easy... When you go to powder toy after hitting open creation, you will have to click on my own or by votes in order for it to show up sometimes. It seems to always work for me. The search does need to be fixed and number 3 never happened to me so i don't know about that one.

    I have a problem that might need to be fixed. When i use the zoom feature in powder toy, if i accedentaly put a particle outside the zoom window, it makes a diagonal line from where you were in zoom to the edge of the screen. Same with delete. I know that all i have to do is push control z to make it disapear, but i don't think that it should happen in the first place.

    1) It should display everything with those tags. If not, then your internet is laggy as hell.
    2) Click the "Open in TPT" button not "Download" button. They are two different things. Also, the server reads which user downloaded the program. Just sign in, why does it need to be changed?
    3) Your computer has lag, defrag it or something.

    1)people put up weird tags to get attention so it's not TPT's fault

    2)your forum and in game account is linked so it's close to impossible to change it.

    3)that's just your PC
