The old function is missing (hopefully it will be back) but meanwhile, you can do an author search this way - www.abctales.com/members/sooz

I have added sooz's name just for an example, but you add in the members name that you are searching for. Its not ideal, because you have to know the username of the member, and its also not ideal because having just tried it now, i am getting 'memory errors' all over the place. It worked last week though.

Ho hum.

yep youre right, i noticed that. funnily enough, it actually DID work last week, when the site was even less operable than now. So much for progress eh? :o)

Mmm, this is indeed quite a problem. In desperation I myself have taken to using the services of a local medium. I tested her abilities by asking her to search for ‘Sneak’ – She laughed, ‘That useless excuse for a poet! He’s crap!’ – She’s bloody good. sneak

You'll get the bugs ironed out in the end... hopefully before I run out of space in My Documents for Word docs. lol. So long as all the stuff we already have on abctales doesn't disappear, it's all good.

Liana. Could you please help a complete computer thickhead? How do you make the link between the threads on the discussion board to your own work? In other words, If I write a poem, how do I get the "click here" option? I've no doubt it's very simple but it's beyond me. [%sig%]

You take the url from the page... as an example, for this page, it would be the one below http://phorum.abctales.com/read.php?f=3&i=17350&t=17350 and then, just exactly before the url, you place one of these < and just after, leaving no gaps at all, you do another in the opposite direction, like this> then, when you see the post, it will be a clickable link in red, like this: *crosses fingers hopefully*
