Author Topic: The "Magic" Search Machine SUCKS! Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 04-27-2005 01:58 AM                  Everytime I try to find a user by filling in the required info of a search for/by a user, I ALWAYS get some lame "not found" msg or a 404 "Action Cancelled" page! Either delete that option, OR FIX IT! Still looking for Cam Jones so I can write him about chat!  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 04-27-2005 03:45 AM                        Dude, this is the UBB. Please stop expecting exceptional functionality.  |  IP: Logged Dominic Espinosa Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1172 From: Boulder Creek, CA.

In the search box type: what you are looking for site:film-tech.com and it will search only the film-tech.com site.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 04-27-2005 05:01 PM                  I should clarify... I was refering to the "Member Search" function. All the other searches work great. For some reason 90% of the time the Member Search gives me a tug. Joe, I actually like the Film-Tech highly modified UBB software and the looks of FT. I think it works as well as it does here because of all the modifications and re-writes to the original software. FT has some really talented software guys doing many behind-the-scenes improvements as well as the visible ones.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 04-27-2005 07:46 PM                        I think it's hilarious that it had to be rewritten just to have a third of the functionality that comes stock in other forum software. I'm not sure, but I think I recall that it had to be hard coded just to have avatars. The "you have participated in this thread" graphic was set up by Daryl and myself one night... soemthing that comes stock in vBulletin. The Mod control panel in vBulletin kicks so much ass it is insane.  |  IP: Logged John Hawkinson Film God Posts: 2273 From: Cambridge, MA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 04-28-2005 07:05 PM                     I seem to recall that one of the member searches (name or number) fails for member numbers in a certain range. So if the name search fails, try looking up their member number (find a recent post) and then searching by number. --jhawk  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 04-28-2005 07:15 PM                  Ummm John, the point of using the member name search is so I ***DON'T*** have to look through umpteen thousands of posts looking for a particular member.  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 04-28-2005 07:19 PM                        Hey you, Member #371!
