Search function - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Is there a search function? If so, where is it? I don't believe I've used it since the new forum format and I can't seem to find it. HELP!

You know what I can't find the search button either.

Its been turned off to see if it is a problem with slowing the site down.

The button for viewing new posts is gone too.

Takes up more band width when you have to go through each catagory.

Personally I never had a problem with the either of these...

This software has some faults that are being worked through. When somebody hits search it soaks up all the system resouces and bogs it down BAD. It been turned off thill the problem can be corrected. Don't get mad at Josh. Not his fault. You would be just as ill if the forum was locking up like it was when search was on.

In seemingly hopeless situations like what you guys have found yourselves in... I turn to the little "wheelie" on my mouse and spin it up or down to move the page up or down to view posts. You could also try pointing the mouse on the scroll arrows for the scroll bars on the sides and try clicking those. If that doesn't work, I also would recommend trying the arrow keys on your keyboard....

Good luck...

:p

well they obviously can't search for these posts

I never noticed a "view new posts" button, and honestly, don't see why we would need it.
Every thread that has been responded to since your last visit is in bold print, and has an icon like this;

While the threads you have already visited has an icon like this;

And if you have replied to it, then there is an arrow in the icon...example;
