Hi.
Thanks for your services.

I can't search 'Download Modifications'.
I can't found VB3.6 or VB3.5 Mods in search list.
I mean, No longer search the modifications sections when I go to advanced search.

I'm a legal VB user and renewed VB license.

Regards.

same here - that seems to have changed just today, which is a pain since I used that search quite a bit :(

in the User CP tab, on top of the page, my links are working properly.

Why do you use the advanced search rather than just typing in the search box at the top of every page (which has all the various options for searching the mod forums) ?

Because I can't search 'by title' at the top of Mod forum page.
I need search for title.

Well that's easily fixed, I've been meaning to add that option for ages, it's been asked for a few times.

yep, same here. I like to search the titles of mods. But the fact is that the option to search specific mods, such as 3.6 mods or 3.5 mods existed yesterday, but not today.

That option exists in the search at the top of every page, and has done for at least six months.

no, it does not serve the same function - before (up until today) you could choose to search template modifications or plug-ins specifically (and choose to search by title or the whole message), but now that option has disappeared because those forums are not visible on the advanced search function, as mentioned earlier. As it stands now you can only choose "3.6 mods" or "3.5 mods" etc., but not the specific sub-forums (templates, plug-ins). I am just wondering why it was decided to remove those forums from the advanced search menu.

I see that the "search titles only" function is enabled, and that is helpful, but not as helpful as it was before, because the advanced search does not allow you to search the specific modification forums.

Who said anything about it being decided ?

I simply haven't looked into what's caused that yet.

I just assumed that since the forums were removed from the advanced search option that it was done on purpose, since things like that don't just happen by themselves, that I am aware of. I appreciate your attention to the matter.

Nope, it wasn't done on purpose, I didn't know about it until this thread was started. Minor changes and updates are being performed quite often, obviously one of them had a side effect (fixed now). It did however remind me to fix the quick search options for titles only.

That's what I mean. And what I need.
Thanks YoYoYoYo. :)

Well it wasn't hard to track down, some forum settings were out of step with the test and development forums, so I'd altered them to match, they've now been tweaked to match, and work as expected.
