Hi NikNik,

Is it just me, am I doing something wrong? I keep getting emails saying re:Work (which I thought was a Topic heading) but can't seem to find the topic heading 'Work' anywhere when doing a search?

Thanks

Regards, Jake

Re: Topics

Hi Jake,

I think I understand your request (you don't need my permission ) )

Let me make sure I'm understanding what you're referring to...

Lets say an initial thread was called "Nik is awesome", then you reply and make the "Subject" to your reply as "Nik is ridiculous" . So both titles exist within the thread. Is that right?

& the problem is that changing the title interferes with search? Just trying to clarify.

Nik

Re: Lost Posts

Hi Nik,

Yes exactly, that's what I'd like to find out, so I have changed the subject of this post to 'Lost Posts' and we will see what happens when I try to find either subject.

Regards, Jake

Re: Topics

Hi Nik,

Sorry to all the posters reading this - trying to sort out a technical 'bug'.

Bit complicated Nik but yep, just as I imagined:

'Lost Posts' does not exist as a subject, even though it clearly exists (see the previous posts above this).

'Topics' still exists, but has been changed by the poster (me) so it appears if someone changes the subject line, it can't be found by the search engine.

I have changed the subject back to 'Topics', but it would be better in my opinion if IT could block the subject line from being altered by a poster, once the thread is started, do you agree?

Thanks,

Regards, Jake

Re: Topics

I think your suggetion of blocking edits to it once it's started would probably be simplest. Good work! K

Re: Topics

I am putting my hands up as I am pretty sure I have edited the subject line when I have responded to a topic.
Sorry about that.. Usually it was additional to the subject.
Maybe I should just start a new topic...but at the time it made sense to add work or study into the subject line..

Hi Alessandra,

Well with time off for 'good behaviour' and a further reduction for 'pleading guilty' you should be out well before Christmas (Lol!)

Re: Topics

Do I still get $200 if I pass Go when I get out? That will help pay for Chrissy! LOL.

Here is un-unrelated topic, LOL AGAIN, but I do find it quite tricky pasting links in from iPad. So that may be due to general lack of iPad know-how, or if could just be that iPads suck. I haven't been able to determine which yet but it is a cumbersome process on the iPad to keep having to navigate through each topic...
