anyone else having trouble searching the archives?
I have spent the last couple days trying to understand the new format and to go back and see some threads I may have missed the last two or three months from members like kingfisher, slamr, eyesore, happy hooker, sworrall, jason smith, and a host of others, but am getting very few hits.

some threads I know were there in previous searches, before the new format are not showing up

Is this all in work, or have the rules changed, or has my ability to use muskie central deteriorated to the same ability i seem to have for catching my first muskie?

good fishing......jwl

I would just wait a while. They said it would take a while to try to get all the archives reposted.

Thanks for the reply, but it appears to me that the system is working ok, because i get and response. i.e. after searching the screen says, for example, 2 results were found, or 7 results were found, etc.

I will indeed try just letting this result sit for a while and see if it changes, but my guess is, that once i get a result, it will not change.

For example, when i search for sworrall, i get 2 results. sworrall has posted dozens, if not hundreds of times on muskie central in the last year and a half, but only 2 of them show up in the search.

ToddM has posted dozens of times also and maybe hundreds, yet on his user name on the main screen, it shows only 35 posts for him, and and when i do a search for ToddM I get a response of 34. What has happened to all of the earlier posts by ToddM.?

Either I am doing something wrong, or something has changed from the old system.

thanks again, and good fishing....jwl

I know what you are saying. I just remembered a post on the old board is all. It said that it would be a while to transfer all of the info from the archives over to the new board.
