Two forum related questions

[sertman]

First, whenever I try to open up an attachment, it says something like "You don't have permission to access this page"... can you fix that? I've been looking at some old brag board topics and i can't see most of the scores because they're either attachments or in the defunct FFR User Galleries

Second, is there any way to either have a search return more than 500 responses or go back farther than a year? Again, looking at old topics and I can't search for them because they go back farther than a year.

1) Probably your computer, or Synth turned off attachments again.
2) Edit the search options to fit your search criteria.

The vB search function sucks balls. REALLY sucks balls. I'll search for things that I KNOW FOR A FACT exist and it returns nothing. I'll search for the most general of things, hoping to fish what I want out of a list of results, and it returns nothing.

Also, if you hit the back button to go back to the search page to modify the search it won't take you there. Lame.

Yeah, that's probably the biggest pain about vB.

The going back business can be fixed. At least, other vB forums I visit don't have that problem.

Crappy searching is pretty much inevitable, I fear.

Probably, yeah... turn them back on synth!

However, the search does have problems.
