Searching Old Forum Threads

[Lord Liaden]

Ben, if I may ask: I've attempted to use the Search function to locate several discussions in the Old Forum threads, using various key words and usernames, only to be told "Sorry - no matches" each time. Is Search not connecting to those files, or am I just doing something wrong? And if they're not Searchable at this time, do you anticipate that changing at some point? :confused:

Thanks for listening. :)

The old threads are not connected to this board in any way so the Search function from this board will no result in any matches from the old UBB forums.

We may create a Search function specifically for the old threads but it is a low priority right now.

I understand, Ben. I'm not thrilled, but I understand. :)

I went browsing through the old forums for D-Man's 'When campaigns change' thread. One thing to note for people doing manual searches is that a multi-page thread appears as multiple threads, and links from one to the next can't be relied upon.

That said, I did find what I was looking for.

Did I miss something? Are the old forums available in some form somewhere?

Check the last line of the Main Menu of the Discussion Boards, and click on the link that Ben Seeman provides.

Thanks, LL.

A 'search' option would be nice.... but I'm just glad to have them back. :)


It gets me all nostalgic.
