[QUOTE="Graham Smith, post: 158377"] Hi [USER=3426]@Cyborg[/USER] Sorry you've been having trouble searching for stuff on our [B]forum website[/B]. Here's some brief instructions on how to do it, although like all things, there's more than one way to skin a cat. 1. On the homepage, you'll find a graphic image that says '[B]Search[/B]' with a magnifying glass. Click on the graphic. [ATTACH type="full" width="469px" alt="Screenshot 2022-06-26 at 17.34.40.png"]50713[/ATTACH] 2. Clicking on that image will take you to the following page: [B][URL unfurl="true"]https://www.vincentownersclub.co.uk/search/[/URL][/B] As you can see, our [B]forum website[/B] uses something called "Friendly URL addresses". This means that the web address that you see in your browser bar sort of makes sense if you take a close look. Rather than having something like [B][URL='http://www.vincentownersclub.co.uk/content.aspx/page_id=8373&reference=931962&content=545554']www.vincentownersclub.co.uk/content.aspx/page_id=8373&reference=931962&content=545554[/URL] - [/B]our addresses are a lot easier to follow than some other websites. 3. So, you should now be able to see something that looks like this. [ATTACH type="full" width="760px" alt="Screenshot 2022-06-26 at 17.42.55.png"]50714[/ATTACH] If you want to search for the word "Vincent" on the [B]forum website[/B] of the Vincent H.R.D. Owners Club, then you might run into problems because you'll probably get a ton of 'hits' and be overwhelmed. However, let's say you want to search for "Rollie Free" - any only for things that Tim Kingham (username vibrac) has posed. For this example we're only going to search in [B]forum threads[/B]. [ATTACH type="full" width="760px" alt="Screenshot 2022-06-26 at 17.42.55.png"]50715[/ATTACH] Because we think Tim might've posted something in the forum threads, we've now typed in our search keywords which are "Rollie Free" and posted by "vibrac" because we're looking for stuff only by Tim Kingham. If we'd left that empty, then it would return the results from anyone on the [B]forum website[/B], and not just Tim. [ATTACH type="full" width="756px" alt="Screenshot 2022-06-26 at 17.47.59.png"]50716[/ATTACH] And here are our results. You can click on each of the four posts, and each one of them will contain some reference to Rollie Free. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot 2022-06-26 at 17.52.45.png"]50718[/ATTACH] As you'll be able to see from some of the other options, the search facility can be as simple or complicated as you like depending on what you're looking for. Please do shout if you have any further questions or queries. [/QUOTE]
