searching for new messages

[tallulah]

Threads I'm on is great, except I didn't get on the computer for 3 days so it's blank!

I have always gone into "last day" to look for threads that interest me but now with so many new categories I get down to about "G" (if I'm lucky) & my Explorer freezes because there's just too much on there. I never seem to get down to catch up with "other", or "chat".

I've tried the active conversations but there isn't enough info on there to decide whether I need to go into the thread or not.

I've started searching under each category but it takes forever & I'm getting bored with it (at least it's cured the daily addiction ) & it's in a very strange order.

Please can we have a search facility that lets you look for all new messages in several categories at once. Even if it was the categories from the topic board. Just so I can avoid the pregnancy, conception & other stuff I'm not interested in, without having to look under every individual heading.

Hi there, we've done this... been meaning to for ages. On the search page you can choose the topics you want to search. should be fairly self-explanatory.

We've also added a "Threads I started" link to the "Find discussions" section. This goes back 10 days. Regards, Tech

it's not searching properly for me, keeps coming up no messages.

[tech]

hi lou, which one?

[suedonim]

Lou, you need to hit the double arrow thingie to put the subjects into the r-hand box.

[lou33]

Did it all right, hit the arrow thingy, added subjects, but it only came up with 0. Can you add a bit to check all topics, because when I did it the old way (check since i last checked) nothing came up either.

[tech]

Hi Lou,
Are you using Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox? It wasn't working correctly in Firefox until about a minute ago....

[Egypt]

not working for me either - clicking on messages in last 4 days/last day/hour and comes up no messages

[tech]

Hi Egypt, Yes, that's an oversight. I'll fix that now.

[Egypt]

ooo ta

[tech]

Hi Egypt, They should be working now.
Regards, Tech

[lou33]

using ie

[lou33]

just tried again and it seems to be working now

[taramac]

Not working for me. Only went up alphabetically to subjects beginning with O and now nothing - when I do a search I dont get anything relevant coming up.

[Hulababy]

Not working for me still - any of the search for last hour/day, etc. that is.

tech, I don't want to be greedy, but I like to go on "Search Current Threads" and put in my alias as a search term to see if anyone has talked to me over the past day or so, and I think I'm not the only one who does this. Could you either set up this facility as part of "threads I'm on" (sometimes people talk about you to draw your attention to a particular thread) or could your alias and yesterday's date be the default setting on "Search Current Threads". This way I'd be able to search quicker and so my family might actually get fed and my house cleaned!

[prufrock]

It's working for me, but could the default be to search all topics rather than search none?

[tech]

Hmm. So all should be working for all now. Shout if not... ta, tech

[Egypt]

good point prufrock

bumpity bump

Tech - Sorry to bother you on a Sunday evening, but I'm trying to search current messages and that is giving me zilch as well.

[Kayleigh]

I'm getting nothing in archived or new messages

[fisil]

Now I can't find anything in "search current messages" at all. Serves me right for being demanding. Tech, can you help? Please?

[JoolsToo]

I'm getting 0 message for me and I know thats not right is there a problem?
