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.

I agree with Prufrock. Could we have all topics as the default setting rather than none?

Try pressing the double right arrow between the boxes to put all the topics in, that is where I was going wrong.

Have added a warning to prevent you searching with no topics. You'll get used to it I promise. If you want all, just click the >> button before clicking Search. Lots of people asked us not to do all by default as it gets too many results..... having said that, if people really hate the way it is now, we can switch back.

This is the error message you'll see
It will be slightly different if you are using netscape / firefox of course
