flowerybeanbag · 19/03/2009 12:11

yes, am perfectly able to choose topics now, but as furball said, the result just shows all topics anyway.

I choose the topics and put them in the box on the right, then press search and voila! 4 million threads.

It is working for me (In classic, on IE) but the buttons in the middle are still not in the middle (I know - picky picky!). I had forgotten to check until I saw this so thank you!

flowery: are you choosing your topics by clicking on the Choose Topics button (next to the Search All button) within the Find Messages box?

This should then give you a pop-up window within which to select your Topics.

Are you getting that?

I am clicking the one under the 'Choose topic' thingy. The one further down is for searching by time, which I am not doing. I just tried selecting topics as normal then instead clicking the button under the 'find by time' section, and it claimed I hadn't selected topics.

After selecting your topics, are you clicking the Search button right at the bottom - rather than the one halfway down the page?

What furball said, excitement level raised at being able to choose topics, then hopes dashed as 6 billions threads from obscure topics also appear.

Oh no - and I was just about to post that we'd fixed it all!

The choose topics thang is working from here: would you mind having another go, furball?
