I'll have to look into that Rilder, you're using IE and the Guild skin?

Hi Tosa,

When you initially upgraded, I remember that when using "Mark Forum Read" (i.e. in a forum view rather than index view) all bolded (unread) threads would immediately be unbolded.
Now however you need you actually (manually) refresh the page for it to display read. Any chance the previous way could be restored?

Also, the page you get to after posting or marking fora read (index view) seems more robust than pre-update. Now I cannot go to another page in my address list anymore while this page is up as it won't allow the next (outside) page (regardless how small) to be loaded. Can this be changed please?

Just another small issue, the search function has been acting a little strange since the upgrade. I just, for example, did a search for "Influence" in the Main Hall. It would not perform the search stating that the word was either very common, too long, or too short. When I tried combining the word with the word "King", the function only looked up "King", providing the same reason for not including the word "Influence". I've had this a couple of times elsewhere in other forums when searching for certain terms.

Thanks for everything you've done so far BTW Tosa

I'll look at it.

Is it working better now Rilder?

This is the whole error message on Influence:

Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search : Influence

The too long, too short and too common list is part of the SQL server (out of reach). This word is not short really, nor long and I doubt it's a common word (I can't be accused of being a linguist though).

Influ retruns:
1. Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

There's no information here about it being common.

Influence* returns 75 results, frogbeasteggs Eleanor being the first hit. This includes Influence and its plural.

King returns 100 results.

I can't lay my finger on this one yet, do you have more examples Omanes Alexandrapolites?

I don't quite remember what exactly I searched for when I first got the message. Although a couple of random searches I've just done resulted in the same message.

I searched for "bug" and "changes" in the Watchtower and then performed these searches in two other random forums (R:TW Guides and the Entrance Hall) as well as a total forum search. The error message was received each time. The words "performance" and "hello", two other random searches, behave the same as well.

I think, at a guess, the problem may be affiliated to words which appear more than a certain number of times in posts indexed by the system. Indeed the other words I searched for, which aren't quite so common, "Taiwan", "French" and "Fries", turned up a full set of results. On the other hand, a search for "Cheesecake" though, another random search, provides the error message. Considering that it isn't/shouldn't be a very frequently used word, it shouldn't really do that if the theory is correct. I remember mentioning the word in both of the three word story threads though, which could be attributed to it receiving the same classification.

Probably just rambling there, but hope it's useful
