Is it gone or was it moved? I used to have the search box at the top of the page, just under the icons of messages and notifications and now it’s gone.

I removed it because some people were claiming that you could out an anonymous user by searching for certain keywords on their profile. I haven’t had time to sit down and look into it because I have a list of stuff I need to do or fix with the site plus kids and work. As soon as I figure it out I will activate the search box again

I think the search feature is a much more helpful, sensible tool to have on the board verses Anons. If I had to get rid of one, I'd remove anons.12skipafew wrote: ↑Thu Aug 22, 2019 3:35 pm I removed it because some people were claiming that you could out an anonymous user by searching for certain keywords on their profile.

I’m not getting rid of either, I just haven’t had the time to sit down and fix everything that needs fixed. I have a whole list of stuff and not enough time to do everything.

The only problem for me is that I loved the search option to find Canadian content.

Are you talking about the general search or from a user’s profile?12skipafew wrote: ↑Thu Aug 22, 2019 3:35 pm I removed it because some people were claiming that you could out an anonymous user by searching for certain keywords on their profile.

I used to be able to go to Morgan’s profile and see her posts and replies, finding one I was looking for, but saw that is gone.

It’s all tied to the same function so there are actually a lot of options that people used but were taken away when I disabled the search feature.

I’ve been trying to fix it myself but it’s above my experience level because the issue is really the anonymous extension which is an insanely complicated extension. The developer I hire when I can’t figure out issues (and the one who built the anonymous extension) has been mia but one of the moderators may have found a new one for us. Hopefully it will be back sooner than later. If you know anyone who has any experience with php, let me know lol.
