02-04-06, 03:14 AM I'd really prefer to search the class forums and feat forums, so I can jump right to the relevant stuff, but I gotta be missing the button or link somehow. Anyone able to help a blind guy out?

If its right in front of me, I'll feel like an idiot. but here goes.

So I go to the forum FAQ
http://boards1.wizards.com/faq.php?faq=vb_faq#faq_vb_board_usage

and I see "Can I search the forum? " from there it says
"You can search for posts based on username, word(s) in the post or just in the subject, by date, and only in particular forums.

To access the search feature, click on the "search" link at the top of most pages.

You can search any forum that you have permission to search - you will not be allowed to search through private forums unless the administrator has given you the necessary security rights to do so."

Anyway, as you may have guessed, I cant find any "search" link on any of the d&d forum pages.

The only stuff I do see are
"Thread / Thread Starter Last Post Replies Views"
and
New Thread Page 1 of 33 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 > Last ť

thanks in advance

02-04-06, 03:20 AM The Search function on these forums has been down for quite some time. It may be restored eventually but in the meantime your best option for searching the forums is to use Google search engine while limiting the search results to these boards only (by adding site:boards1.wizards.com after the item you want to search). It is not the best way to find things but currently it is the one available.
