I was wondering the same thing. No search box anymore.
I guess it's the search box that's up on the upper right side??
That's the search box for the store. This new layout is gonna make life much more interesting if I can't search the forums or find my posts in one click anymore....
That search is for the store. Seems like they might have put the search in the dropdown menu on the forum header (it's the cogwheels button) but I suppose that feature might be still to come.
Yea, tested it.. for the store. They need to fix that to make it smart to switch to Forum search when the end user is here in this area...
And of course Google site search is quite worthless, right now...too.
The plan was to have it replace the main search bar with one for the forum. It seems it was a thing we accidently missed though and completely overlooked in our testing and private beta testing of the forums. We'll be fixing this asap. Sorry for the inconvenience on it.
Figured it was something like that. Thanks for the upcoming fix. It will definitely be a help finding all of the old threads I had subscribed to :)
Yup all of the urls are 404 now :(
What I do is take notice of the forum number(see image) and change the browser's address bar with something like this:
HTHWell...that works.
Now to go through all my old bookmarks and change 'viewthread' to 'discussion'.
You can get a list of your own posts and threads. Click on the gear icon up top, then click on your name, then click on another gear icon (maybe one more, not sure) and a menu pops up where you can view a list of your posts n stuff.
OK, next issue with searching the new Forums.... I'm looking at the new HazMat Suit and think I remember seeing a thread about it. I have a question about whether the hood has a down morph, and really would not want to start a thread just for that. Soooo, I try searching the forums, but it now lists the entire post anytime the word hazmat or suit is mentioned. since several unrelated, long treads mention it (I've been following one of the thread, So I know it is simply mentioned and not discussed), I don't really want to read those posts again. Is there a way to seach the title only? I didn't see that as an option in the gears....
Not that I know of...
