Agree the search functions are not working. I've tried testing them by posting something with a specific word in it, then searching for my own post and it comes up "no content found."
Basically no matter what I search...either by keyword, user name or both...I get the same no content found. Something hinkey there.
Also, is there no longer a report post option?
Lower left corner, it is black now.Quote:

"Search Multiple Content Types" is default and what you will see when you click over to advanced search.
"Search Single Content Type" (which you can access by clicking the tab) is much more like our old search, with the old options. Here you can search titles only for your keyword or search entire posts, find latest posts by username, find threads started by username (in the dropdown box under "Find Latest Posts by User"), you can search specific forums and narrow your search by date and you can show results as threads or posts....essentially everything we used to have is there.
Oh thanks Trub!!! :D
And someone negged this. Yes, let's NEG someone offering to do a gratis favor for another person. THAT is what this board is about.Quote:

So I have this glaring "2 notifications" shite under my username, click on it, and its notices about thumbs up or down on my posts. Not 2, but 6 thumbs, and two were negs on my comments about the format, and 4 were positive comments about the very.same.post. Each thumb on the same post garnered a "notification". Like I care! But I have to eventually go see what the notifications are, because they could be PMs. I guess. Sheesh!
vxf111, I gave you a thumbs up! :winkgrin:
I got a thumbs down for saying thanks to Trub, LOL!
Methinks either someone is just having fun with the thumbs up/down thing or some sad little weenies are digging up posts by people they dislike and thumbing them down for no reason other than it's their only way to express bravery/integrity. :D
Either way it's kinda funny.
Don't let the thumbs down get to ya, folks.
And some more thumbs down for me in 3....2....1....
Or perhaps people are just clicking on them by accident? Who knows?!
I just posted on the thumb thread that I have done so, once, scrolling on the touch screen. With no way to undo. But I think they'd have to be pretty clumsy to click accidentally as many times as I'm seeing on some of these threads!Quote:

Ha, ha, and, since I can only post in 'quick reply', when I hit "post quick reply" I get a message asking me to confirm that I want to leave this page!! Whacked. Its a mess.
You got a "thumbs up" from me. Check the drinking posts on the help forum.:DQuote:

ETA - I went thru the thumbs down I got over the weekend and they all seem to be just like this one (posts that there is not any reason to thumbs down). Clearly someone thinks it is fun to thumbs down for the fun of it and since it is anonymous they can do it.
I have not been on in a while and just tried to look for something.... but there are random ads, "settings, FAQ, etc" tabs in various places on my screen. I can't even see the posts because of these. Anyone know what is going on or if there is some setting I need to change?
Please try clicking the Compatibility View icon, which looks like a torn piece of paper up by the URL field where our web address at the top of the screen (if you're using Internet Explorer as your web browser).
If that helps, can you please let me know what version of the browser you're using and whether or not you already had the compatibility view activated (for browsing on the old site). You can check on your browser by visiting this site if you don't know: http://www.thismachine.info
Thanks!

Or is this not what happened to you?
Thanks~

Thanks, Shine! I thumbed you back! :winkgrin:
It's a conspiracy, Trub! To keep me from reporting posts! Not that I was looking to report one...I was just wondering where it went. Change a color/location on me and I'm lost. :o
Mod, I was having all sorts of issues until I clicked the compatibility view a few days back. I had read that in another post, so clicked mine and it made a huge difference. I had always wondered what that torn piece of paper did. FWIW, I'm running Windows 7.
Does anyone else have the blue bar with "Settings FAQ Members List, etc" on the right side of the screen, over the picture of Jacob Pope winning the Maclay finals?
It goes out so far to the right that it smooshes the regular screen over to the left side.
What to do? What to do?
