I was trying to do an advanced search under my screen name to see if I had any new replies to any threads or posts. The way it used to be set up was simpler, in that you just entered your screen name and pressed search, then the results came up, with the threads with the most recent activity at the top and in order. All the top listings were threads that had new posts that were highlighted showing that I had not accessed them and read them yet.

But now, you have to pick different search parameters, and so I picked 'all' and the results were all mixed up...... The threads at the top of the list hadnt received new postings for 6 months, and there was seemingly no particular order to the list. The 8th thread down the list had received new postings more recently than the 1st thread on the list. The order was all mixed up.....

So, how does it work now?
 
What's up with the new search engine?

Can somebody tell me, since the site was revised, has it been possible to display individual posts when using the search engine?

I used to find this function particularly pertinent for retrieving information.

Anybody else having problems or is it just me? 8( <3

Do you mean:

"I want to look for an individual person's posts"
or
"I want to do any old search, but have the search results show me individual posts, rather than thread names"
or
Something else...???
 
Why does search need logging in? I simply can't think of any reason why it's like that with the new version.

Also when I log in via using search function it doesn't redirect properly.
