Missing threads?

Post by Ducklakeview » Wed Jan 10, 2018 4:32 pm

It appears that a few of my threads, including the 45+ page one discussing exhaust mods have been deleted?

Anyone else missing threads?

Mike

EDIT - The threads are still there, but no longer show up in searches. I know the Mods decided that members could have a thread in the marketplace advertising the services they offer, but that these would not show up in "new posts" to stop it getting bogged down with comments/thanks etc, but would still be searchable for members looking for info - However this particular thread (don't know if it applies to others) is no longer turning up in search results either, which sort of defeats the point?

Here is one thread that doesn't show up in searches. but is still there; viewtopic.php?f=13&t=89154

You are right it's missing from search results but is still indexed by google.

Probably been blocked by filters for sounding like an indecent proposal :wink:

Personally I find the forum search facility pretty useless. There must be a rhyme and reason to it but I always seem to struggle with it.

When I’m looking for something on the forum I use google to help me find it and normally end up finding what I’m looking for.

Just tried the above thread via google and it does work.

I think this has already been explained to Mike, but the ‘new posts’ link uses the search facility so it isn’t possible to have that forum included in the search.
