Regarding searches: Am I smoking crack, or didn't the search used to let you search by number of days or months? Not only does it default to 7 days now, it only lets you use SINGLE DIGIT days, or multi-digit hours. So if you need to search back more than 9 days, you have to specify like 5000 hours or something. Planet Jay, any way to get back the old system? |

It's now set to max age of 1825 days (5 years) which should do for a while now :) It still lets you specify min and max age, I just changed the defaults from 7 days to 1825. I also changed the default max # of returned hits from 25 to 100. --- Quote from: 1UP on February 11, 2003, 03:25:11 am ---Regarding searches: Am I smoking crack, or didn't the search used to let you search by number of days or months?

I was b*tching about this very same subject just a few weeks ago. regarding the other ponts brought up.... If people don't post the same things over and over site traffic would indeed go down, which is a good thing (bandwidth ain't free ya know). It wouldn't halt the board completely though. There is atleast 1 valid, totally original post made a week, unfortunately it's buried under 60 some odd posts of crap. You'll notice that I rarely post on the main board anymore and that's why. I Literally can't find the new topics because there is so much junk to wade through. I retreated to the software board and now it's starting to get bad over there too. Newbs, users, ect... A small suggestion towards when to post. First do the following..... Check the faq Search the Archives and serach the contents themselves, not the titles (titles rarely match the content around here) Ask one of the guys via priavte message. Go into the chatroom at night and ask your quesiton there. Check the faq one more time. If you still can't find an answer then post your question. The site ahs become a victim of it's success. We need to be much more cautious about what we post to keep things tidy and for the love of god no more..... "which fe is the best?", "should i get an arcade monitor or tv?", or "insert lightgun question here" --- End quote --- Whats the point of a message board if you don't post messages? |
