I've been trying to fix the search for almost 2 months now. VB blames the hosting co and the hosting company blames the software. I have the old site backed up but we might risk loosing almost 2 months of posts. I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place.

It's never enough
I couldn't agree more. I've been on here since 2004 and the main reason I've regularly used the site is for the search function. Years and years of others troubleshooting and problem solving is now gone for a facelift. It seriously makes no sense.

Hello friends,
I too haven't been able to do searches successfully since the new site was introduced.
I find it confusing to navigate this site format to a large degree. I regularly peruse www.ford-trucks.com site and I can navigate over there with ease.
It seemed that the 'flow' of our former site was more effective, and IMO, having all 'recent posts' at the main page was easiest way to see what was happening "at that moment" in time, currently.
I haven't been able to find the "current postings" on this site since the site went online. I'm not a techie I admit, but I can fumble my way around and this new site hasn't helped me find my search queries at all.
I commend you techies who administer this site for the challenges you regularly undertake so please don't think I'm bashing you as I truly am not. A new site introduction has to be a monumental challenge, well above my capability, so keep up the good work.
However, if there is a member concensus drawn whether to keep the new site or revive the old site then I have to be selfish and ask for the old site to be returned (sorry). I feel I've lost all of the new posts, since the switch, already because I cannot find them anyway.
I love this STYTY site and want to continue to use and benefit from the experience of those who have been here offering their expertise and knowledge.
Best of luck with your update and site decisions.
Merry Christmas to all...
