Until the search function works, a simple Google search will probably give you what you need.
In the Google search bar, simply type:
<keywords> site:vbforums.com
For example, if I wanted to find the Olympics thread I started, I might type something like
Olympics moonman239 site:vbforums.com
or
2012 London Olympics site:vbforums.com
into the search bar.
I'll create a small code snippet to be used in place of the built-in forum search.

Re: FORUM ISSUES: Report Upgraded Issues in this thread
Not sure this is really a technical issue but something I found confusing at first (and think I've figured out now). The Reply buttons are quite couter intuitive in their appearance. I'd have expected the big blue button on the left with Reply to Thread on it to call up the Reply dialogue where I could enter my reply but I think this is actually functioning as a submit button for the quick reply function. The button I was looking for was the linky type button on the right that just reads Reply.
Given that the quick reply area has it's own Post Quick Reply button, it's hard to see what that Reply To Thread button is really for.

Huh... the blue reply button worked for me as you expected... it took me to the full reply screen... The "Reply with Quote" quoted the post and dropped me into the Quick Reply box - very nice as that's something I do a lot and quite often forget to hit hte include post in reply option. Very happy it now does it automatically. Haven't tried the plain "Reply" button/link just yet... I'm sure I'll find a chance here shortly though.

I miss that we don't get the navigation path towards the end of the page. You could read the last post and then you didn't have to scroll all the way back up to go back to the forum; the forum navigation tool bar was just there. eg. at the top we see VBForums->Community -> Forum Feedback -> FORUM ISSUES: Report Upgraded Issues in this thread. This was also present towards the end of the page.

Re: FORUM ISSUES: Report Upgraded Issues in this thread
OK, things that aren't working for me (in no particular order and nothing of a major concern):
A couple times I've used the Quick Reply... I get prompted if I want to Leave the Page or Stay on the page.... and then it seems to hang.
While typing in a reply when I hit the far right side, the quick reply, rather than breaking on a word and wrapping, as I would expect.... broke it in the middle of a word. It posted OK, but caused confusion on my part.
The text look
ed like this. it
was unexpect
ed.
There was a third item.... only now I've forgotten it. I see broken images all over the place, but I suspect that will be corrected in due time.
Oh, the third item... it used to be that when I hit the tab button from the quick reply window, it would go to the "submit" button for the quick reply... it no longer does. Once I'm in the quick reply, the tab doesn't do anything. USed to be nice to type in the reply, hit tab, then space and it would post.

Re: FORUM ISSUES: Report Upgraded Issues in this thread
Couple issues, code tags do word wrapping which makes code blocks with long lines of code look unruly. Its difficult to read. Highlight tags have a tiny code box which I'm sure is some kind of error. I'm also getting server errors trying to access certain pages(even when trying to make this post, it timed out). When typing in a reply, the box no longer wraps a word to the next line when it passes the right side, I can learn to live with this though.
I'm willing to give this a shot but to be perfectly honest, I wish they never upgraded. The forums were fine before. On the plus side, I'm glad they didn't add that annoying side panel you see at CodeGuru so all is not lost. There are obviously kinks in this upgrade(like the highlight issue I mentioned above) so I'm gonna take a week off from here to give the guys a chance to fix all the little issues with the forums. These little annoyances make this upgrade unusable to me. Its really aching to wonder if clicking the next link would return some kind of 'server error' and any one who knows me here knows how much I love highlight tags
I'll check in on this thread from time to time to see how the admins are coming along with dealing with the issues. Cya in week guys

Re: FORUM ISSUES: Report Upgraded Issues in this thread
Great job guys... But you should have told us about how much time it would take for the updation. Since morning, I was frequently visiting the site to the new look. But, I wasn't able to see any posts until evening. Eventhough I received a "new-reply" notification on ThEiMp's thread at noon, I wasn't able to view the site.
It might take some more days to get used to this new look. The only thing that I found itching is the top section of the forum, where you show the logo+ad+featured_articles+userbar.
I think, it could have been updated with a new look too.
I have tried applying Photoshop to it, and have attached the result with this post(see the attached image). I am not good at designing.

Re: FORUM ISSUES: Report Upgraded Issues in this thread
Performance for me has been horrible this morning. To some extent, that was due to the system I was using earlier, but VBForums has failed to respond on a couple occasions. I assume that this has to do with the ongoing roll-out. I figured I'd post it as information.
Other than that, I can get used to the new format. Works as I would expect, except that I have gone where I didn't expect to go a couple times. I assume that was user error.

Re: FORUM ISSUES: Report Upgraded Issues in this thread
Another vb.net programming forum I'm apart of upgraded to vbulletin v4x about a year ago and they had all kinds of issues with the CODE and HIGHLIGHT tags right after the upgrade. They did eventually fixed them but they also installed a different tagging thing called XCODE. You can use [XCODE=vb][/XCODE] to denote vb.net syntax and all that, it displays much nicer than the [HIGHLIGHT=vb][/HIGHLIGHT] does.
xcode:
Attachment 89977
highlight:
vb Code:
Private Sub MySub
Dim X As Integer = 0
End Sub
Which brings me to a bug I just found, in FF 10 on Win7 x64 I click the attach file and select an image file on my computer and when I click the Upload file button it does nothing, it just sits there and I can't find any other way to upload a file to attach to a post.
Edit:
I was able to attach the image using the Image button on the quick post box, the attachments window off the advanced editor still does nothing.

As for the "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page" popup message when you are only viewing hte page, I had this on my forum for a bit but figured it out as a php config setting would resolve it.
I increased both these settings, PHP Post Max Size and PHP Memory Limit, and the annoying nag pop up message disappeared

Also, Sid's FAQ in the Application Testing forum doesn't load correctly, just a white page.
Did they purge the search results? Only the posts I have made since the upgrade appear when I do a search for my latest posts.

Re: FORUM ISSUES: Report Upgraded Issues in this thread
The "white page" issue is beeing looked into. That has been reported several times and we are diggin ginto it. That is not an issue that we had on our other migrations. The developers are working on that one.
The search results we commented on -- until the search database is completely rebuilt, you'll only get new results showin. That process will take time to happne. It took a couple of days before the index was built completely on Codeguru, so give that time and it will be back.
As to PMing me.... you are better to email me. bjones/\internet.com. If it si about issues, you are best to put it into this thread. The key developer for the migration is reviewing this thread, so it will be seen quickest if you report it here.
