Search this Forum ?

coccodrilletto — Wed, 11 Aug 2004 01:30:17 GMT

I had forgot in my previous post... is there a way to search this Forum ? Search for keywords or subject or fulltext, something like that, I mean. I'm not able to find it.
Thanks, Coccodrilletto

Same question here! Without a search function, this forum is nearly worthless...

Sadly there is no search function as yet. I understand the boyz in Belgium are working on it

Try Google for keyword searches with "VAIO forum"

DT, I don't know if you agree, but I think the 'search facility' problem is getting rather tiresome now, an update from our friends in Belgium would be nice I think

Oh I totally agree - it's about time something was done.
Oh and a move back to PHP5 would have been nice, but thats not going to happen is it

I think the forum is about ready for a 20,000-post service! Search facility, clock, and have you noticed the multiple names in the online users list...sometimes Kee-Lo you appear online at least three times:smileyhappy:

Yes I have noticed that too Alan, and it's rather annoying. I think it's a bug with their cookies again

A 20,000 post search is going to take a long time to index.

Yeah, what's all that about, they sorted the multiple logins ages ago, and now it's returned - I must admit the clock being wrong is very annoying. And as usual my biggest complaint is No PM facility.

Sorry guys but we haven't moaned for ages

I say it's time for a moan fest and in 10 days time I'll be doing it in front of them LOL

The clock being wrong is so annoying it drives me mad.

I agree, and I'm sure 'someone' mentioned that regular updates would be posted to keep everyone informed of current progress. I must have missed the last couple of weeks :smileyrolling_eyes:

Oh, about Kee-Lo being on-line 3 times at once. I think that is related to him typing faster than the speed of light and meeting himself coming the other way

Hehehehe you're probably right Dave

With Kee-Lo, it's usually a relativity/quantum thing:smileywink:

Oooh I don't know Alan, I have seen the other side typing this fast....

Forum clock's fixed! It seems to be on CET:smileygrin:

Re: Search this Forum ?

kee-lo_ — Thu, 12 Aug 2004 13:51:36 GMT

Yeah but now I have to play "hunt the new post"

It is indeed Alan I think I¿ll be able to minus an hour :smileygrin:

Yeah I'm sure it's possible now.

Hi everybody, it' me again.... so from your posts I see it is definitely not possible to search the previous posts. I would like to humbly express my opinion, that this makes a Forum like this very much difficult and clumsy to use. Nobody will be able/willing to peruse the whole listings of all the previous posts... so he/she will either give up, or post the very same questions, that have been discussed lots of times already, over and over again. This I'm saying from my experience in other computing related Forums (Toshiba Laptops, and Mandrake Linux Forum): most of the time, one can find an interesting thread already been/being discussed, and find there the solution, or post back an addendum or request for further discussion...
Thanks, Coccodrilletto

Yep, no search facility can make the forum tricky to get info out of

kee-lo_ — Fri, 13 Aug 2004 14:53:35 GMT

Yeah most forums have search
As our mate Joe B would say this is definately the bent over feeling.
