i happened to see that the search feature has been fixed, but not quite... i would be curious about the story, or if there is one..

searching to see if i had made a post on ''china'' because i seem to remember i did, but it would have been prior to 2023... as it turns out the search feature only goes back to 2023, and then it jumps to 2010.. there are 12 or 13 years of skyscript forum history missing.. that is what it looks like to me..

any feedback on this from the admin - is welcome.. thanks..

It looks like that was one of the losses resulting from changing the forum platform from the old one to this new one - at this stage I'm not sure that is fixable I'm afraid.

Hi james_m,

Have you tried searching from Google, like this?

skyscript.co.uk forum china

I just tried it and first thing that comes up is a post by you from Jan 24 2020.

Of course it brings up lots of other stuff too, but you might recognize the post you're looking for. Hope this helps. :-)

hi stargeezer..

i like your name! no i haven't tried that, but i could try..

i don't use google search, but i tried it and the first 2 pages of the search i don't get this post you reference.. maybe you used something in the search description more specific?? this is what i used via google - skyscript.co.uk forum china

thanks for offering this either way..

on a second try with this in the search field - skyscript forum china

it showed up on the 5th link down... so basically if i know the specifics about what i am searching for, it might work.. thanks!
