I post a message and 3 days later i cant find it. how do you search or find your old posts?

[color=white]Go to the forum you posted in and click each page until you find it.
You have to be patient and thorough to find lost posts and do it manually, as there is not currently a search engine for posts.

If your post's been moved, think about what it was about then search the proper forum for it.
It seems moved topics usually have a link on the page they're being moved from for a few hours after the mod moves them (mods, correct me if I'm wrong).

Hope that helps![/color]

When we move topics, we are given the choice to supply the thread with a link to its new position

You stand uncorrected

bah

And for future reference, if there is a topic you are particularily interested in, bookmark the url for it.

And, if your post that you made 3 hours before is still on page one (and only a couple of posts down), make a quick scan of the page before you post the same topic again. :)

For the record, we know that not having a search engine sucks, and it isn't like this didn't dawn on us until after we launched the new forums. It was a choice: launch and find out how well the forum deals with the traffic of E3 (usually a big test for us), or wait and make a search engine that might (and it would have, based on our old estimates) not have been very helpful.

Now that we have good data on size of posts, number of posts, server performance, etc., the guys at Ideal Science (our forum vendor) and us can put together a search system that doesn't suck it up like the People Finder (which is messed up due to a few weird bugs involving gamertags).

The people finder will also get improved too, by the way. :)

Please don't provide a map to our houses like the Chapter Finder.
