Would someone please explain how the Search and Archive functions work on the forums? I posted a message here about two weeks ago and cannot find it anywhere. I can't find any of my postings over the last three years either. What gives? Thanks.

and the "Search" item?
Phil - When viewing any particular forum, the items below appear on the page. The "Archive" one seems the same as the Forums tab "Archive" item that you mentioned. However, the "Search" item is different. Does it have access to just the posts that are younger than 8 days? Some of the hits the search comes up with show blank pages when clicked. (I did a search on the word "give", then when to the last hits (180 to 184), and the four hits are all blank when viewed). 24 hour activity (all forums) | Sort by recent topics | Post A New Topic | Archive | Search | Index of Forums | Forum Settings | Suggestion or Bug Report ...RickM...
