    Hi,
    I don't see any other threads regarding this but for some reason I can't search it gives me a message saying "Searching is Disabled". This is pretty annoying for me because I use a search link that shows all the threads I've posted in and if they have new replies etc. Any ideas?
    :)

    NOticed this too, the new posts thingy is gone aswell,

    but as regards checking on what threads you previously posted. Use the User CP, mine automatically subscribes to threads I have posted in(not sure if you have to enable this) and lists..

    Don't forget that there's a google/boards search form on the front page.

    Ah ok, I thought it was just me for a second.

    I use this link to search for my posts. It's very handy as I just have it in favourites and it shows latest threads with activity, if I have PMs and everything really, thread author, last poster etc etc.

    I think the search function's been a bit broken recently. It couldn't search for more than one word or use boolean keywords. I guess the boards database is just too big now or something along those lines.

    You can get all that by viewing your subscriptions at http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/subscription.php?do=viewsubscription&folderid=all

    Probably more efficient than searching too.

    "This folder is currently empty" :rolleyes:

    the link I pasted above kicks ass for checking up on your latest activity, you don't even have to log in or anything, try it when the search is back, it's really handy:)

    You must be set to not automatically subscribe to threads when you post on them in UserCP\Edit Options, with that enabled it works really well, showing all threads you've posted on and highlighting ones with new posts you haven't read yet.

    Maybe it has something to do with this?:
