Quote - I'm getting results on anything I search for. What are you looking for that doesn't show, Laurie?

I get results on everything BUT forums Basicwiz. LOL. It's the strangest thing ;). And it started when they changed the site layout. Haven't been able to get a thing in forums in a long time.

RorrKonn: I'm sure I'm spelling things correctly. LOL I'm just not getting anything from forums, just everything else :(

I did have vilters current problem too and I can't remember how I fixed it or if it was just fixed one day when I came to the site.

FWIW, after yesterday's outage (was unable to reach it from either work or home), things seemed to have cleaned up a bit. Still have to zoom out a bit though.

Also, there's still way too much unused space in and about Free Stuff. Thinking this is AdBlock Plus' fault, I unblocked and reloaded, and, well, nope... still needs fixing...

Actually Laurie - I don't get forum posts in site searches either but that's the only thing.  Screen looks fine as does the freestuff

Yeah, the screen looks fine...it's the lack of forum search results that's REALLY not very handy as I used to search the forums quite a bit ;).

Laurie

I always just search in the forums tbh - it's easier :)  if I know I'm looking for a forum post then that seems the most logical place to be searching for it

OK, tried the site search and no forum results BUT forums are NOT listed as a search option, ergo, it's not searching them. Forum Search works as expected - perfectly even since searching for "Vickie" brings up one of my lines as result #1. Check your site search options and see if forums is even listed. AFAIK, forums used to be included in site search. Maybe they farmed it off to another server/DB for performance. Other than that, the site continues to go downhill at a rapid pace.

Hey Pengy - screw you too! Opera Rulez! It has 90% of the features built in that you have to add some (OMG will the next update break it) to FireFaux, and dude, when I use Opera's proxy, I get cool offers to hook up with hot Oslo chicks. And please, stuff your WebSt and SoFarEe. Jobs is dead, stop j*ing him off. I kid of course. Screw the NSA for me :-)

Yes, it did used to be included in site search. Great...now we have to remember what forum we saw it in to even search? Hehe...not with my memory ;). 

I'm severely miffed. Gotta love those "upgrades and improvements".

Laurie

you don't need to know which one - there's a "Forum Search" option on the menu dropdown for forums

at 100% zoom there's a lot of empty sapce on left n right. but the banners stay to the right thou.

maybe in IE options / advanced ya can change the setting to work.

If renderosity is wrote in some code that IE8 can't read right then there's no way to fix that.

can XP run IE 10 ?

maybe if ya can run Chrome or firefox ?

I wasn't accussing you of spelling like me.
Just saying on sites that don't have search or want good spelling.I use google to search there site.
forums/forums search / .does work for me on IE 10 desktop version.
but if it don't work for you could always use google.

Hahahaha...I didn't even see that. Shows ya how much I actually use the main dropdowns.

Ok, then that one's solved...on to the next ;). Thanks FrankT :P

Laurie

:biggrin:

I should have been more explicit. Shy guys never get the girl.

oh.  i posted my woes down under in the suggestion forum >.<

I'm confused. What's wrong?

I can see the site has changed its overall color scheme since I was last around for real, but.. the free stuff looks ok (my free stuff at least) and most everything else. 

As I'm more used to PHPBB forums, style-wise, I keep looking for the "new posts in forum" button at the TOP of the page instead of sorta midway down... but that's a minor thing. I can just use my bookmark that takes me to the Poser forum front and everything's fine.

Is it the "Home - Marketplace - features" ect that sends ppl into a hissy? It's light, but clearly legible here.

Oh I'm using chrome. Won't touch IE with a barge pole...
