post #1: 320-321-545-66164381
This post had a wrong title, and i didnt know we could request title changes, so i decided to make a new post.

Post #2: 320-321-430-66167941
Made this post to have a new title. Once i made this post,
only post #1 could be found by searching for GR1ND 1T.
For some reason this post #2 did not show up when searching for it.
(so all the members we recruited, ended up finding our forumpost with our old title)

I asked for post #2 to be removed, and to change the title for post #1.
Once you said this was done, post #2 became locked (good), but now i could not find post #1 anymore.
I still cant find post #1 on my profile, i just found it now because you linked it.

post #3: 320-321-343-66173450
Because i couldnt find post #1, and couldnt use post #2 anymore, i decided to make a entirely new post.
This post does show up on my profile, but it wont appear if i search the forum for: GR1ND 1T.

I did not know that searching for threads, and posts not showing up on profiles are a common thing to glitch out. For some unlucky reason all 3 of my posts cannot be found by searching for our clanname. Because i did not know about these glitches, and because i wanted to fix it, it ended up becomming a messy situation with 3 forumposts.

I appreciate the help/intrest.

So there's a few things here. Lets start with the easy one:

By default, the search bar at the top only looks for unlocked, non-sticky threads. So, the second that you had the one thread locked, it wouldn't show up by default until you open up the advanced options and choose to include locked threads too.



As for why neither now show in the search now (including the new thread you just made), did the title prior to whichever one you had changed include the [ ] characters around the name 'GR1ND 1T'? Going on a hunch here, but I'm almost certain that the brackets are what is causing the issue here. The forum search appears to want to match some word in the title exactly with spaces around it, but that wasn't possible with the old title. A search for the phrase 'Social-PvM-Skilling' (as is the second half of your title) yields all 3 threads when include locked threads is toggled on.

AJ to the rescue...

Edit: I just took the brackets off of the newest thread you have and it is indeed searchable. Do you wish for the original to be done?

The first picture explains why the locked post did not show up, clear!

At this point im not 100% certain anymore, but i think indeed before the title got changed, it did not have the brackets included. And the fact that indeed all posts show up when searching for 'Social-PvM-Skilling' might explain it all.

I will go back to the other thread to request a title change (to remove the brackets) and to lock one of the post, since again i have 2 active clan posts now.

I will post a reply here once this is done, to share if this solved it!
I appreciate the help and intrest. Thanks!

Edit: Great that you changed the title and tested it! The original post would be perfect, if you could please remove the brackets so the title is: GR1ND 1T Social-PvM-Skilling
Then it is all fixxed :D

Your original thread it's now had it's title tweaked.
