Checking archives for relevant postings

Post by Hey Jude »

I have brought up a number of post threads but when I click them it tells me they are not in the time frame I have requested (something to that effect) and I've checked at the bottom to show results from a year so what am I doing that I shouldn't be doing so I have the desired effect of finding that for which I am searching?

Edit: I just found this page http://eileenslounge.com/search.php so how will it bring up postings from January 2010?

I'm trying to get back to this thread http://eileenslounge.com/search.php?key ... mit=Search

Unless you want to find posts or threads from the last day/week/month only, it's best not to specify a time period. You can set the default in User Control Panel > Board Preferences > Edit Display Options:

In Advanced Search, you can also set this (to override the default):

You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.
Best wishes,
Hans

Thanks, I had 3 months in there so when I was searching I suppose that was overriding the "All results" so let me try that :-)
