I'm trying to find some posts I made a few years back, but no matter what search criteria I use, I only come up with threads I've started rather than all posts.

Where am I going wrong? :(
 
try the bottom of the search page and change it from threads to posts
@nara

Now that's interesting. I remember that option was always there before, but I've tried on a desktop and an iPad and it seems to have disappeared.

And to add to the mystery, when I click on that link you've given me indicating it, I get "Sorry, no matches etc."

Methinks Gremlins are on the loose! :S

Strange now when I click on the link I posted I get the same as you but I didn't before, it took to straight to your posts.

Just tried again and I see your posts with a new search.

here's the link to the new search, old search link not working for me now

That link is attributed to you Shaun, as its cookie based. Nara will need the "home" link. I am only on mobile at the moment so I can't check further. (On me jollys )
 
are you clicking the magnifying glass to take you into advance search @nara

OK, finally solved the problem after a lot of farting about.

For some weird reason, when I choose "advanced search", it's defaulting to "search multiple content types" which doesn't have the threads/posts option. I need to click on "search single content type" and then I'm good to go.

****!

Ignore previous post! Now I'm getting "sorry no matches" for anything I input!

Looks as if my search function is ****ed.

I'll try clearing cache.

You can't share search links (URLS) as they are your searches and based on tokens and cookies.

I am looking into this now @nara.

Lol, if only. The furthest I can get back at the moment is September 2013, by clicking on my name and "view forum posts". Clearing the cache didn't help.

Thanks anyway m8.

UPDATE: Problem solved. :jumpinghappy::jumpinghappy::jumpinghappy:

Besides defaulting to "multiple content types", when I changed to single content type" it was then defaulting to "Satellite Navigation Files".

I've never even had a satellite receiver so go figure.

So, two workarounds and away we go!
