you can now choose your topics but then the results show all topics anyway

MarlaSinger: BigTech says he's fixed the Choose Topics function in Classic.

Could you have a go, please, and let me know if it's working for you.

Hello.

MarlaSinger and elvislives: The Choose Topics function is indeed not working in MN Classic (sorry).

BigTech is on the case.

If you desperately need to search by Topic in the meantime, try MN New - which seems to be working fine.

Notquitegrownup: That sounds most odd. How are you searching - by keyword or nickname? or time? And are you in MN New or Classic?

Hello. I am having problems with search too - am I being really thick. I am trying advanced search, but when I click on Search all Messages, nothing happens. I am left with the same screen. I really really need to find a thread from last Novemberish, on which I was posting . . . .

Hmmm. OK, will flag up with BigTech as soon as possible (but sorry it could be after Easter). So when you click on 'choose topics' you're not getting up another box automatically?

I've got the same problem. Tells me no topics selected but doesn't give me the option. (Firefox on a Mac)

Glad to hear it Furball

EachPeach: it's working from here in Safari but we'll see if we can ask Tech to look again at that on Monday.

sorry - just realised I started this thread!

Anyway - yes seems to be working fine and also my other query of searching for say 'christmas pudding' now just shows the threads with that phrase not all threads with christmas and all with pudding.

Thanks peeps

Advanced search is partly working again for me now - I can search by keyword, select topics, and my search results only contain those topics. However, the search by time facility still does not return results only for the topics I have selected (same problem flowerbeanbag mentioned a few days ago).

EachPeachPearMum · 03/04/2009 16:03

Hi, I can't get it to work in safari- if I click choose topics... there's no window to choose them in....

mrsbeng · 02/04/2009 15:23

oops, yes it is, just wasn't getting clicking icon when hovered over it.

mrsbeng · 02/04/2009 15:22

It's still not working here, sorry!

Flier · 02/04/2009 12:40

thank you BigTech

Good Afternoon,

I have been looking at your issues with Advanced search and you should now be able to click the button...

Click away

LIZS · 02/04/2009 08:50

yeah , right at the very end of the button !

Flier · 02/04/2009 08:48

oh Yes, works only at the ends of the button, very strange but at least it works

I'm sure I moved my mouse all the way along the button yesterday

ellingwoman · 01/04/2009 22:14

Advanced search does work but only the ends of the purple box are 'live', not the middle bit.

MNHQ
HelenMumsnet · 01/04/2009 21:59

OK, obviously we need to take another look at this. Sorry, folks.

katz · 01/04/2009 21:54

i push the button and nothing happens, even after refreshing. i use mumnst classic

HelenMumsnet · 01/04/2009 21:43

Hmm, most odd. Does it still not work if you refresh first?
