You are in the Automotive News & Views Forum. Your Hosts are steve_ & claires
I am sure that I used to be able to search by a user's name and have the function return all that person's posts. Now when I try that I get no results. Has something changed?

If you are getting no results, do check the messaging on the page. Is it saying that the search timed out? If so, try selecting a time parameter (last 6 months, 1 year) on the page and try again. Hope that helps.

Replying to: kplacer (Aug 03, 2008 10:41 am) Then a flydown menu would let me choose to search all messages, not just those in the current topic, and I would get all posts where my name was mentioned in the title as I listed above. Now you get on the first search a box with the search words listed a find results in box Saying all messages in a board (but changeable) a box with Forums Softwre! Your questions answered --the current forum and a box called limited by posting date If you change the selection in the second box "find results in" to "All Messages" you can then continue the search to find all posts and all responses including my username in the title. Note the 3rd box listing the current topic being searched disappears and it's back to the earlier type of search. Happy searching! |

I often check the "Hybrid Cars Forums & Discussions". When I get to the page, it lists the posts at the bottom of the page in reverse chronological order (posts that have the most current date are listed first). The problem is that what I really want to see are the posts I have not read, not the ones in order of posting. As it stands now, there will be forums listed without the "NEW" maker, and then some without. Then when you go to page 2 or 3, there are some "NEW" marked posts. How about it - sort by "NEW" post instead of chronological?

Replying to: pat (Sep 02, 2008 4:28 pm) I believe you are referring to "the most recently active"? I want to list UNREAD posts first, not chronological  . And actually, I want to be able to see the unread posts when I go to a combined forum like hybrid cars. The Forum software knows which ones are unread because it puts a "NEW!" icon to the left of unread forums - but it lists the chronologically, which means that some of my "NEW!" items are on page 2 or 3 or 4, etc, and some items on the first page do not have the "NEW1" marker.

When I go to My CarSpace, it shows a page, "under construction". With a second attempt it goes to My CarSpace. Anyone else have this problem?
