I see what you talking about. Actually it shows posts from yesterday and today, but then skips back to 2010 when I click on your screen name and "view forum posts"
It must be a new problem. I use it quite a bit when looking at spammer posts and its first I have noticed it.

I noticed that a while back too. I quit using search on oso, here is what i do.....

Enter this into Google

site: offshoreonly.com words i am searching for
(there should not be a pace between the colon and site... I had to put one otherwise the forum would post a smiley lol)

Replace "words i am searching for" with your actual search or user name!

I have a new laptop that is running IE 11 and it is hopeless on OSO, does not automatically refresh, so if you make a post you cant see it. Had to pull an older computer out just so I can see what I am doing on OSO and a couple of other sites. Chrome seems to work as advertised though, I have issues with google data collection and would rather not use.

This seems to be working correctly now with no gaps in time.

yep, i got a few to come up from the last day or so but then skips to 2010. I was searching for some recent threads and could not get them to come up even though i knew they were there. Messed around a bit more and noticed in some instances where a member hadnt posted in a day or so nothing would come up newer then 2010. . . . . hmmm


I remember something like this happening once before and i think some setting was messed up . . . .

I've been having trouble getting the search feature straight since the forum was updated...

If anyone notices this happening again, please post in the technical forum at the very bottom of the main forum page..
There is a thread there also and IBobi responded.
