    Hi computer guys,

    10:10pm, very slow response to post a reply - about 2 minutes.

    Good luck,

    Cheers

    Bryan

    I wanted to note a strange problem, maybe this isn't the correct thread for it but here goes anyway. When I visit the forum as a visitor I can see all the photos attached to threads no problem. However, when I'm logged in I have to click on each photo link in order to view the image. Shouldn't it be the other way around?

    Not sure if this is related or no - here goes:

    I posted this thread https://www.woodworkforums.com/f213/s...acking-129780/

    However It does not seem to show up in new posts or in any form of search (tried searching by poster, by keyword etc)

    I was wondering why I got no reply, so searched for the post & it did not come up. It does show under "The Workbench" subforum

    Ross (and others interested), I find the best way to search the forums is to use google. The command to use is:

    "SEARCH WORDs + site:https://www.woodworkforums.com" in the google search box

    So, for your search try -

    "Sliding dovetail to minimise wracking site:www.woodworkforums.com"

    To find "shellac" try

    "shellac site:www.woodworkforums.com"

    Thanks Groggy,

    I really wanted to highlight the fact that this post seems to have some problems that may indicate an underlying database error, as the entry did not show up in my "New Posts" or in results using the site search functions that rely on the forum database (as opposed to Google, which maintains its own index of pages that it discovers by crawling sites)

    I do agree that Google is a fine way to search & gives you way more options to narrow or expand your search than the forum tools. The Google Advanced Search Form is a useful first step, but you can get a lot more power by understanding Google search syntax - this link has details for those intersted (worth reading, as it will make your use of Google far more productive in general, not just for searching the forums )

    Hi there

    The new posts page is basically a search for posts you haven't already read, so viewing your new post would eliminate it from this search from here on - its no longer new.

    Regarding searching by keywords, it should show up in the results. I tested a search using the exact title as keywords and nothing except this thread I'll check it out soon.

    regards
    Steve

    Ok that whole section was set to not index posts in search results. I'll need to check the other forum sections and rebuild the search index. It will prob take 5 - 8 hours to run and we will need run it at a low traffic time.

    When you try and upload pics which I assume are over some Kb limit you get an error about a "...token missing..." when you used to get a message saying your over limit you bludy idiot or words to that effect.

    I don't think they're directly related, tho an upload that takes to long time (even tho its under the limit) could cause a token error.

    Can you send me a copy of the file your having trouble with? [email protected]

    It would also be helpful if you could include some general info like;'

    - location you're uploading pics?
    - Connection speed (ISP plan)
    - Time of day the error appeared
    - OS
    - Browser

    ... and anything else you think could be helpful.

    thanks
    Steve

    OK the re-indexing was a little to brief , but its now showing up when you do a search with keywords match you title.

    Thanks Steve

    I'll bump the thread anyway, as still no responses (or maybe its just a boring topic )
