NeoFlynn Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Hopefully this is the right forum to post this for a rapid response I have looked everywhere on here and I dont see anything for a forum search, its bad enough they dont have designated forums for each server but without a forum search how on earth is anyone supposed to find server specific info.....this seems like a major mis step but also one that could be easily remedied please tell me I am just missing it becuase I really dont have hours on end to sift through posts to try to find the info I need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Vicente Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 There is not. For this reason, we're not even able to view our own post history any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baizak Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) Search has been disabled since the pre-launch forum wipe. Hopefully they will bring it back, but nothing yet. Edited January 7, 2012 by Baizak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairless Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 They probably outsourced this ****** forum engine too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkkh Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Yeah they disabled it because of...technical difficulties. Not because for PR reasons. Technical difficulties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretorian Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 You CAN do one thing that works depending on what you want to find. There is a sort function so if you want to find your own post, sort it after Thread Starter and then start scrolling. Beeing in the later half of the alphabet, my posts are around page 1100+.

This only works if you created the thread. It's easier just to bookmark any thread you create. I dunno about you but I don't make 50 new threads a day. Maybe one a week at most.

Skoobie Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) It actually reappeared for a very short time the other day. Apparently, it's causing issues. When it was on the other day, I kept getting sent to the forum queue. Haven't been sent to the queue since it was switched back off.

Grrl Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 The lack of a search function on the forum is a metaphoric for the entire incompetence this hall endavour is. This game is one big crash. To take money from users for all the fail, is insulting. Never ever again EA Games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoFlynn Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 That MAY work to find your own threads but here is my issue, for example I am a new player wanting to RP and find a guild of Like minded players to run with on say the Shien server right now my only option is to go to the guild hall forum and slog through thousands of posts to try and find what I need or run around in game and hope to find someone....how easy would it be to either actually give us server specific forums (this would be the ideal solution but i know that may be asking alot) or just give me a freaking forum search so i could type in "rp guild on shien" and have my results in seconds not HOURS...now this type of thing is not something I wuold quit the game over I am enjoying the game overall but it would be nice to be able to find info on the forums easily if i hve a question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
