Corey & Friends:


I just got word this morning that the fix for being able to search the archive forums has been implemented in production. You should be able to search the archive forums now.


Please let me know once you've tried it if this are working!


Have a great day!

Not yet.....I asked for an update last week but haven't heard anything.

I'll keep you posted!

Any remedy yet for this searching issue?

Have you tried unplugging it and plugging it back in? 🤣🤣🤣

Team:

OK....I see what you're experiencing. It does seem to be connected somehow to the fact that I'm an admin. I logged in to my wife's account (which does not have admin privileges), and I see the same thing you do. I've looked at the forum setup and I don't see anything wrong about those forums except that they are set as "read only". However, I wonder if because they were imported to the site instead of people actually posting to them, somehow the search indexing didn't get done properly.

I'll talk to the Club Express people about this. It doesn't appear to be something I can fix with settings.....

Hmm.....ok, guys. Maybe it's related somehow to the fact that I'm an admin. Maybe those archive forums are not properly setup. Let me investigate....

I tried and also have the same experience as Corey.


I have a hypothesis as to why…


I open the archive forum. I click on search and then search for something I know should get results (I tried both aritex and davit). I clicked search and got a “no results” page. Then I noticed on that page I could retry a search and there was a dropdown to choose which forum to search. When I click that dropdown the archive forums aren’t in the list. So my best guess is there is some setting to allow us peasants to search the archives.


Attached screenshot of the dropdown list.

Ok, I will post screenshots. I believe it has something to do with the search screen and what forums it thinks I have access to. I number the attachments in the order that I tried. First searching from the archived forum itself and then searching from the main search screen


I wonder if anyone else can search. You are likely some sort of super user in your setup.

I'm sorry Corey.....I can't reproduce your issue. I tried two or three different ways and it always returns some results????

Mark, that is exactly what I did and no matter what words I use, it always returns zero results In addition, when the advanced search window opens, neither of the archive forums are available in the drop down for searching a specific forum.

Hi Corey:

Do you mean the forums from the old site that are in the "archive" forums on the new site? They are searchable. You go to the Forums main menu and then click on the title of the forum you want to search (e.g. "Main Forum Archive from Old Owner's Site"). Then enter some search text in the box near the upper right that says "Search this Forum".

I entered "door frame" in the search box and pressed enter. You will see the upper half of the screen is a more extended set of search boxes where you can refine or change your search if you didn't get what you wanted. Below that are the posts that match your original search criteria. In that first set of results was a posting titled "Door frame finish repair." There were several posts in this thread among the search results.

Give that a try and let me know if you still have questions.....

The old forums do not appear to be searchable. Is that on purpose? I recall there were threads in the past regarding the corrosion / paint peeling on the door frames but I can't search to find them.

Selene Friends:


At last...all the postings from the two busiest forums on the old Selene Owner's website have been moved into corresponding "archive" forums on the new site.


You'll find all 15,000+ postings from the old main forum are now available in the "Main Forum Archive" forum. The postings from the "Owner's Only" forum are available (again, only to owners) in the "Owners Only Forum Archive" forum.


Both are searchable, so you can check those forums for postings on your topic of interest.


We decided to make them "archive" forums, so they are read-only. You can't post new messages in those forums, but you can copy/paste text if you want to quote something from the archives into a new posting.


Also, note that there are some strange characters in the text of the old postings. This is an artifact of some of the issues with the old site (and part of the reason I wanted to get us off that software). We did our best to "clean up" some of those characters, but there are still some oddball stuff in the archive posts. In most cases, they shouln't obscure the meaning of the messages.


For the moment, the old site will continue to remain available at:

http://gator4001.temp.domains/~markdt98332/


This is primarily to keep the software running that collects and stores position reports for the Selene Map (which continues to operate). I recognize that some of you new owners won't be able to start using this functionality since we are not allowing any new accounts to be created on the old site. We're going to be talking (even today at our board meeting) about a plan for the Selene Map functionality.
