Guest American Woman Posted October 14, 2012 Report Posted October 14, 2012 As per MH's request, I am starting a new thread about the question I raised in the "Forum UPGRADE" thread regarding the forum Search function: Is there a forum "search" function somewhere that I'm not seeing? It's the 2nd tab from the right on the top of the page on my screen. Thank you, but that appears to be a search function for the entire Mapleleafweb site and it hasn't generated results for the forum. The search function that used to be associated with the forum apparently is no longer available as far as I can see, so I'm wondering if I'm just missing something. Has anyone else had any success doing a search for something on the forum? Any attention to his matter will be appreciated. Thank you. Quote

WIP Posted October 14, 2012 Report Posted October 14, 2012 There used to be a recent posts tab at the bottom. That's where I usually looked for new stuff to read and post comments if I was interested. Without that, I can see a lot of the subforums turning into community silos, like on some large discussion forums where there are almost completely separate communities who never post outside their favourite forums.

Guest American Woman Posted October 17, 2012 Report Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) I'm using it the same way I used to use the Search function before the board update, and I'm not getting any results. Am I the only one? It's next to the Chatroom now. Not on my computer. Edited October 17, 2012 by American Woman Quote

Guest American Woman Posted October 17, 2012 Report Posted October 17, 2012 You're not getting any results from the search form in the top right hand corner of the forums?

Argus Posted October 17, 2012 Report Posted October 17, 2012 I find it difficult to look for old posts I know were made by myself or other posters because you can longer include the poster name as well as keyword searches. Often I was searching for posts I had made on subjects, but I can't do that now except for recent postings.

Thanks AM. Interesting information. The thing is, it doesn't work. I tried to search on the most basic thing i could "muslim' under my name, and it turned up zero posts.

I did it again and the only post I got was the one I just made above. Are you inputing dates? I tried to use dates but I got nothing.

No, I'm not using dates - but instead of clicking on the magnifying glass, try clicking on the "advanced search" symbol right next to it - I think that will work. . Quote

Forum Admin Greg Posted October 19, 2012 Forum Admin Report Posted October 19, 2012 Just to confirm, Argus. Are you still reporting any issues with search? Otherwise I will close this thread.
