Should "Others" Post show up in search ??

[DieselMinded]

I'd like to have the "others" post show up in "SHOW NEW POST" & "LAST DAYS POST"



the posts are miss by alot of members do to the fact they dont come up on searches



Atleast thats how I browse TDR ... . "NEW POST"

If you click the little round icon on the far left of the main page, the subject you select will show up in a search for new posts. If it's red, it doesn't - if it's gray, it does.

the TDR home PAGE????

 

[RustyJC]

The forum main page that lists all the topics. It's the circle on the far left with the "S" in the center (well, after you select it, it will have an "S" in the center ).

Whats the 3 square boxes above the "S" for??

Look down at the bottom of the list of forums and there is a box that explains those. Basically if they are light grey there are no new posts in that forum, dark grey means there's new posts in that forum since the last time you were on, and if there is a lock on it that means that is a locked forum (which we don't have any). BTW, things like your original question are in the website FAQ forum right at the top of this one. That is covered in How do I choose what forums will show up in "View New Posts" and searches?.

I personally don't care to have posts from "other" and "politics" come up on a search - my blood pressure is high enough already!



BUT, it shouldn't be that hard for "smart" file server to recognize whether the one initiating the search is a member or not, and then search accordingly...

 

[Steve St.Laurent]

Non members can't search at all Gary. Members have the choice to pick which forums show up in their searches. Just look on the forum home page and to the left of each forum there is an S in a circle - if it's red with a slash through it that forum won't show up (unless you specifically tell it to search ALL forums), if it's grey it will. Just click on it to change from one to the other.

AH - I see - only cruised here since being a member, so some of those other issues never applied...
