Ohh this didn't get closed. I thought I would get banned for posting the obvious. I feel like a idiot for not realizing this before. Oh well I'm sure others are like me.

I don't know what mods you are used to, but we don't ban without reason!


To be honest, it's good that you suggested it, that way people can realize there is other things besides the standard search.

The other closed threads were repeats and not helpful. This one happens to be helpful.

As Robert said, we don't go around throwing the banstick for no reason. As a matter of fact, I haven't banned anybody yet today and I fully intend to keep it that way.

"Find More Posts by User"

This function has stopped working, it doesn't show my current posts.

Now I know some grumpy mod will come in here and say,

"well just go to user CP and Stats and you can find your posts" or something along those lines...

So what gives? How about some resolution.

Thanks

Hey, related search question just out of curiosity, and no, I don't have an example (though this thread would be one if I knew who started the unmerged threads). If you do a search for threads started by a user and there is/has been a mega-merge, will it show the mega-merge thread for ALL the users who started each separate thread that has been merged? Meaning if Person A starts "Crash Thread 1" and Person B starts "Crash Thread 2" If they are merged to be "Crash Thread mega-merge" will it show up as a thread started for both person B and person A? Or how does it show up, only as Person A starting the thread? Or does it show up still as the old threads and link you to the new one?

AFAIK, once threads are merged, only the first poster in the newly merged thread will get the credit for starting it when searching.

IB is working on the problem(s). The search function is once again indexing new posts. We're getting there.
