Re: has anyone figured out how to SEARCH on this new crap

If you scroll down to the very bottom of the main page of the forum, there's a link at the very bottom that says Search. But if you click it, it takes you to a message that says "Sorry, this page has been disabled."

So does anyone know how to successfully search?!

Doh!

I'm kinda glad it doesn't work. As slow as this new form is it'd take a hour to search any one forum.

Thats kind of foolish - whats the point in having all the old posts if there is no easy way to access them?

Seriously, search needs to be implemented ASAP!!!

Why !!

Do all the sites think new is better etc. etc .

I cant figure out how to see my old posts .

I forget the ones I respond to at times, and I dont want people to think I 'm not responding.

Probably some computer brain , trying to make a living, I reckon.

There is actually a post under the "NEW Forum" Category that addresses the "Search" problem. When they created the new Website they had to create a new search tool so currently the search feature is under construction and is disabled. It is supposed to be back up and running ASAP! Hope this helps!

they also need to get rid of this useless space to the right, and increase the size of the text. so it's easier to read.

If you open any current thread and look at the end of the posting, there is a search box that I've used that seems to work kinda...good luck.

I posted a topic last week, now can't find it or any replys. I am on very slow dialup at 24kbps, and have spent an hour screwing around here.
Goodbye iboats,com, I won't be back.

I also noticed it's very slow. I thought it was just my computer but it's OK on other forums. I also agree that this space, and the letters, could / should be bigger.

I know we haven't given this new deal much of a chance but if a vote were taken today, I'd sure be tempted to vote to bring the old deal back.

ok they work on it. the reply form is still smaller than the phone book.

I have to agree with some of the problems but we need to be patient.Lets give them some time to work out the bugs.I'm sure they will get this font bigger and make some more space.Speed seems a little better though i'm on cable so am spoiled.
It does seem to still be sluggish.

Re: has anyone figured out how to SEARCH on this new crap

yeah, the speed has gone from snail mail to dial up. come on let's get it to broad band.

atleast they got some of the names right again, now i an recognize you.

That space you see to the right will be for advertisements. IF you use firefox...you can blow that out and the page will load quickly. They already fixed the speed problem. Give them time. The search will be back. Those archives are what make this place a goldmine of resources. Oh yeah!! As well as a great bunch of guys too.....)

If you requested a username change, it may have gone through. I just had to login with my new user name and old password.
