04-29-05, 04:15 PM It seems's thrs a huge problem with the search function as of lately with these boards. I wanted to use it to find some of my olders topic, but same thing happens when I try to click on the ''Find all threads started by StrahdVonZarovich'' button. It says it sends a message to the board admin each time I do this though...

So I was wondering, when will you people actualy fix it ??

site:boards1.wizards.com

So for example, if you wanted to search the Wizard's boards for every time someone mentioned the phrase 'search function' you would type:

site:boards1.wizards.com "search function"

It would be helpful to get a stickied "Temporary Search Function" thread.

Look, I've made a helpful link http://tinyurl.com/74g9c

Thanks for this tip, Nytmare! :bow:

This is truly one of those tips that make you want to slap your forehead and ask why you hadn't figured it out yourself! :banghead:

That's a toggle-able function? I didn't know that. Still, it is at least worth checking.
