I'm trying to find a post I made a long time ago that analyzed the planetary conditions and reproduction and such. But, whatever I enter into the search field, it won't return any Posts from earlier than October 30. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/confused.gif I'm using my member number, 1794, to narrow the search, but I can't find any older Posts. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Yea, I had the same problem yesterday but thought it was on my part. Strange.

Have you tried going back into the old SEIV forum?

I cannot duplicate the problem. I did a search just now and got hits all the way back to 2001. Maybe it was a temporary problem and they fixed it.

Geoschmo<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hmmm... Still doesn't work for me. For example, I'm user number 2950. A search by my number gives 29 topics -- and I've answered more than that.

Likewise, a search for "Arkcon" brings up a couple of results.

I wanted to see what I wrote for "combineing mods", but that search brought up nothing written by me. I had to click on the forum pages one at a time to find my entry. Ummm ... in the process I read many others by other people and saw that mine weren't particularly insightful ... but still the forum search is not able to find what I know is there.

Combining mods search (http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&as_qdr=all&q=combining+mods+site%3Awww.shrapnelgames.com&meta=)

You can try google, too http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Here is a generic shrapnel seach setup. (http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&as_qdr=all&q=site%3Awww.shrapnelgames.com&btnG=Google+Search&meta=) Just add your terms to the end.

And spelling "combining" the proper way might help too http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

I noticed that as well. My old Posts are still there, I just have to search for them manually http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

I was gonna just cut and past something into the newbie guide. But I can write it again, once I get one of those round tuits.
