It's just so unbelievably terrible Confused

I'm trying to find my own posts under a previous username and it's completely impossible. I'm being shown all sorts of random shit that isn't what I'm searching for, and none of the posts that I know exist. I've ended up having to google my own username.

What's going on with this? Are we getting advanced search back?

Hi @BoobsOnTheMoon - just letting you know that we're still working on the search function (and we're really sorry it's taking us so long to resolve). We’re working on an advanced search that will allow you to search all posts in the same way as before. We'll update again as soon as we have some more news for you but in the meantime, thanks for your patience.

Hi @flapjackfairy - we're aware of some issues with Private Messages but we're working on resolving them, so please bear with us for a while longer.

When you say that messages are not sending at all times, do you mean you're unable to send PMs to certain posters? Or that PMs that have been sent to you haven't arrived in your inbox? If you'd rather not post any details here on this thread, please mail us at [email protected] so we can take a closer look. If you can let us know which device, which browser and which version of the site you're using, that would be very helpful. Thank you!

@Sgtmajormummy

We're really sorry for all the frustration this is causing.

We're still working on advanced search - it doesn't exist on the site right now but we'll be back with an update as soon as we have more news.

In the meantime, can you please give us some more details of what you were trying to search for so we can try it out and use it as a test case? If you can also let us know which device and browser you're using and which version of the site, that would help enormously.

And one last question for you, Sgtmajormummy - are you viewing 1,000 posts or are your settings lower than that? We know there are issues with this and we're working on a fix.

Thanks for all the details and the screenshot, @Sgtmajormummy - we're taking a look now.

@Sgtmajormummy could you please let us know what keywords you were using to search for the thread? If you don't want to do this on the thread then please drop us a line to the usual address [email protected].

Hi @Sgtmajormummy I searched for all threads in the past month using the words posh and meals and the thread was the second result. Like you, I had no results for food, posh, restaurant, home. Search will look for threads that include all those words so it's probably a good idea to narrow your search with a time frame and fewer search terms.
