Search Function

[JC]

What has happened to the search function? Was it purposely disabled?

 

[John B. Foster]

It's extremely annoying that it does not work.

That said, not all that surprising: "Jeff was last seen: Oct 18, 2018"

 

[Regan MacNeil]

The conspiracy-laden portion of my brain thinks it was. To avoid people digging up old posts for embarrassment's sake.

Can our moderators not answer this?

Well, we can. And we can't. I'm capable of typing a reply is what I mean. But I don't work on the technical end and neither do the others. So I have no idea what's up with the search function and couldn't fix it if I did know. I'll flag Jeff on it. Been here a while and I don't think I've ever used it so it being gone hasn't really been on my radar.

Sorry it is such a problem, sorry it caused you to turn snarky. We never want that.

By the way, you waited all of SIX minutes to post this. SIX minutes. Should I just give you my number so you can text me if you need to know something RIGHT NOW?? Forgive us for not being at your beck and call. We'll try to do better.

I have reached out to Jeff on the private "bat line" and hopefully this will be fixed soon. Sorry it took me a few minutes to reply. Fingers crossed for it being resolved.

 

[Regan MacNeil]

It took 15 minutes for you to contact Jeff? Sorry, but I expect better from this free website.

 

[Moderator1]

No no. It took THREE minutes from when I was aware, you're killing me with this early clock start. You responded to me in five minutes, which puts you in the window for a response.

Member search function works, FYI. I just tried that.

There was no snark, it was a question that others have also asked.

 

[Regan MacNeil]

I think he meant the second post you made.

Which was in response to John Foster saying that Jeff hasn't been on line for 6 months.

 

[Moderator1]

Which has nothing to do with the moderators.

I spent one minute posting about this weeks ago, which I would prove if the search function worked.

 

[Moderator1]

All I'm saying is, give me more than six minutes. Now that I'm aware there's an issue, I'm trying to see what I can do. But I can't fix it myself.

Admit it, you were the kid who waited by the mailbox the moment you sent off your order form. Assuming you're old enough to remember when that's how you ordered ****.

 

[JC]

That is why I asked the question whether you could answer or not. I didn't expect an immediate answer.

 

[Moderator1]

I get it - but it came off as WHY HAVEN'T YOU ANSWERED YET? But all good. And I'm trying to get it straight. Your explanation above makes me see it in a (slightly) different light.

In your defense, I tried to use the search function the other day and then quasi remembered someone posted it was down

 

[Slacker]

I tagged three moddies about this two or three months ago but never got an answer.

No big deal, but at that point I figured that maybe it had been purposely disabled.
