I wanted to look at the photos entered in some previous photography contests of mine so I did an Advanced Search with the criteria you see at the top of the image. I did a similar search for "photo*" and got similar results. Why aren't my earlier contests (1, 2 and 3) showing up?
It seems to be a problem with the search... using Google I found VB Forums Photography Contest #3
... and what seems to be the first: http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=501077
Thanks.
What was your criteria? I had done "Site:vbforums.com "photography contest" earlier but since I have that phrase in my signature I got thousands of hits and didn't want to look through all of them.
Strange, I used: "photography contest" site:vbforums.com
...which got "about 103 results", so it wasn't much to look thru.
I found a better way, use the search feature here with no keywords, but "threads started by" and order by number of replies - all six photo contest threads are at/near the top.
Using the order by was clever. Thanks again.
There has always been something odd about the vBulletin search. It does it on every forum I have seen. Sometimes you type in the exact title of a thread that you know is there because you started it and it wont show up. It seems to be completely random.
Didn't we lose chit chat at some point? Maybe the search index just needs to be rebuilt.
Yeah, someone on here (forget who) told me the same thing when I was helping him find several threads of his that seemed to have vanished for the vbforums search engine.Quote:

As suggested in other threads it seems like it is the fault of the search function used on vbforums.Quote:
