    Issues with the Forum search feature ??

    This is just an FYI. in case you too are having problems with the search feature on this forum(or maybe its just me )

    Anyhow,
    Today I sent the following email (see below) to the Moderators of this Forum, shogun and MauiM3Mania.

    Today I decided to fix the darn leak once and for all and ran the same searches again, however , I only get one hit that looks relevant to my search with the title "I smell gas, I see gas, THE TANK IS LEAKING" from 2003!!, and there is only one (1) page of hits.
    This is a common issue on the e21 and thre should be pages of possible hits especially when running the search on "gas smell"

    Did I miss something, or are we having problems?

    Please advise
    Regards.

    I got a quick reply from MauiM3Mania who is one of the moderators, and apparently it's a known issue they are working on.

    A possible work around for you: If your browser saves history, access the threads you visited from your browser history. Note: your bimmerforums search results expire, so these may not work from your browser's history unless the pages have been saved in 'off-line' cache.

    Thanks for the tip, I'll try that when I get in front of my regular computer.
    The moderators thought it was fixed, but I let them know that it was still malfunctioning.
