Members Ani Posted August 2, 2005 Members Share Posted August 2, 2005 I just tried to access the search feature and received an error message... The search function has been disabled by the Administrator. What's up with that??? Some of us use the search features routinely to seek information on subjects that may have already been answered prior to asking questions; hopefully this is just a temporary situation or a glitch.

Members Lee Flier Posted August 2, 2005 Members Share Posted August 2, 2005 The search function has temporarily been disabled because it was slowing down the forums too much. Once the upgrade happens, we'll get it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members phaeton Posted August 2, 2005 Members Share Posted August 2, 2005 I just tried to access the search feature and received an error message... The search function has been disabled by the Administrator. That's not an error message. It's a notification that a feature has been turned off.

I just tried to access the search feature and received a notification... PICKY, PICKY!!! Lee knew what I was talking about and provided a courteous and informative answer. I've had my nose stuck in research all day and just noticed that I couldn't access the search feature when I made an attempt to check something out. Pardon the error in calling it an error...

Members fantasticsound Posted August 2, 2005 Members Share Posted August 2, 2005 As long as you know you're wrong, Ani. That really sucks. Things move by so fast around here I'd taken to searching my own screen name to keep from missing out on threads I'd participated in the previous day(s).

Members Lee Flier Posted August 2, 2005 Members Share Posted August 2, 2005 Neil, You might try checking the "email notification" box when you post, so you'll get an email when somebody replies to a thread you've participated in. I know it's a pain but hopefully the search function will be back very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, phaeton. How DARE you clarify the fact that it isn't an error, but just a temporary admin notification? You're one picky mofo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because HC won't allow the use of freemail accounts, the only account I could sign up with is an AOL account I never use, but my wife does. The only result of "email notification" would be her email inbox being inundated with useless information. But thanks for the attempt at a solution, Lee Now, if they'd allow Gmail accounts that would be cool. (Though I guess I'd have to re-register with another name. ) I've downloaded an extension that puts Gmail notification right in Firefox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lee Flier Posted August 2, 2005 Members Share Posted August 2, 2005 Actually Neil, you should be able to go into your user profile now that you're signed up, and change your email address to a freemail account. It's only for initial signups that they aren't allowed. Hope that helps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Base Posted August 3, 2005 Members Share Posted August 3, 2005 You could always set up a rule on your wife's account to auto-forward anything that comes from here to your gmail account then delete it. Also, you can subscribe to threads and see them summarised in your control panel in here. Some nice new features that kinda make up for the lack of a search function Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
