Multi-page search results
« on: Wednesday 21 November 07 08:45 UTC (UK) »
For some odd reason I am suddenly only able to view the first page of a multi-page search results.

For example, an advanced search for the term 'Stepney' yields 21 pages. I cannot even look at page 2.

What's up?

Hi Justin

This is a known problem with the Rootschat search - it doesn't always happen though!

Can I suggest that you try to limit your search to particular boards or otherwise, which will reduce the number of "hits".  This is good practice anyway, as it doesn't place such a load on the server.

kind regards, Arranroots  Wink

Hi Justin

Another thread raised this issue. It seems that it works on Firefox but not IE.

I've just been in and done a search on Stepney and can view all pages.

I use Firefox  Cool

Thanks for the advice folks.

I suspected that my browser settings had spontaneously changed themselves. Might have guessed that it was a known MS problem.

I was able to view both pages of a two-page result.
