Having a problem with the Search

[Phil Waterman]

Hi

Could you remind me how to get the advance search feature to work. My problem is that every now and then I loose my list of new posts before I have finished reading all the new posts. When I try to refresh it doesn't give me the entire list often I get no new posts.

When I try and use the advance search I can get it to give me a list of all post since yesterday I get this message

"Please specify some words or valid user names to search on. There were no matches for those that you specified."

How do I get it to give me all the new posts in the last 24 hours?

Cheers Phil

Hi Phil

Don't know either. But what I do is I press "new posts" and then do a right-click on the link of the topic I want to read and then pick "open link in new tab" or similiar (depends on your browser). So this way the "new posts" tab stays open and you don't have to go always back to the search page.

Greetings

Phil,

If you go to the bottom of the main page and click "Mark all posts read", then scroll back to the top and click "New posts", you'll get a message window asking if you want to view all posts in the last 24 hours. Click yes. It works...

Thanks- I knew there was a trick to it. Now I've save the how-to in my notes that should take care of my problem.
