This really bothers me...BoyGeorge Spellweiner, please help...

[sawastea]

I'm trying to do a Plat Search on a different members profile and trying to find old posts. Why does the system stop me at 500 posts? This is a bit ridiculous. Why not produce it from the beginning of time? This needs to be updated.

Um, because it may shutdown the site.

 

[sawastea]

Well, it's something that could relatively be done. I understand the bandwidth issues, but at the price plat members are paying, it can be a nice feature.

I would like to be able to sort the K messages by username.

I would like an answer to my initial question...

Why can't we search from the beginning of time, instead of the last 500 posts? As per the Platinum Membership website, the following quote is inaccurate.

Platinum Search! Search the largest anabolic steroid and hardcore bodybuilding archive in the world -- containing over 4 million posts!

However, if the feature is amended, then yes, there is a chance it is the largest archive in the world.

make the pic in your sig smaller and then we'll talk

 

[sawastea]

Redo it for me and I'll update it...Make is 75% that size.

Or at least allow us to search via a date range.

another good idea. girl you need to submit these suguestions. they can keep it at a 500 limit but add that feature to search a date range.

sawastea, you can also list the results in reverse chronological order if you are trying to find something very old


If your search results are returning more then 500 threads, put some infomation in your search criteria to reduce the number of results returns.

Opening up the search to return an unlimited number of results could results in serious resource issues on the database. The 500 post limit is a governor prevents a user from running a query that reduced the quality of experience for all of the other users on EF.

B, I want to search for your first post EVER on EF. Do it. I couldn't find it...

Many other sites allow you to search from the beginning of time, and yes, they have tens of thousands of members.

How'd you do it? It'll be easier to bypass all the buttons

it's hard. but when it asks whether you want to sort "Descending" or "Ascending" you have to click the pull down menu and change the option to "Ascending"

This changes the order of the posts from latest first, to earliest first.


It's like accounting, you know? First in, First out, vs. Last in, First out!

FIFO LIFO FIFO LIFO
