The search function here at the board is really funny. You click at search, type in your question and hit enter. Then you realize that you forgot to change the "newer than one week" to "newer than one year" to get a result. Okay, back to search, change it, and good. Then you find out that you need another keyword, because the current keyword spits out nothing. Same game than above. Forgot to change the "newer than one week" to "newer than one year". So back and change it and ....

But then you get the following message:

You cannot make another search at this time. Please try again in a few minutes.

Please use your back button to return to the previous page.


That was it. End of search after four steps. Now that is useful

I understand that you want to prevent flooding and bandwidth. But must this lead to that you cannot use the search function at all? Shouldn't be this rigid in my opinion.

That "Please try again in a few minutes" error doesn't prevent you from searching. Just reload and it will let you do it.

search functino of this forums is horrible , and u can only search so far back , and the results are always irrelevant , and for some reason Conitec just erase past posts for no reason. What happened to the regular C-Script part of the forum ? The new wdl and c-script only has some recent posts , a ton of good information just deleted in favor of the lite-c, horrible way to operate.
