Re: [Jgeneral] Is forum search broken?
Strange, I didn't know my posts were both anonymous and unformatted! Based just on today's traffic, I suspect perhaps Apple. ?? I notice: 1. My messages don't line wrap as others do. 2. In one case, while my message looks like it came from the fourm (chat, programming, general), a quoted reply did identify me as the originator. (I've noted at times I don't know who posted a message until I start a reply and the original poster is then shown in the quoted message. ) 3. It looks like at least one other person whose posts show similar symptoms is, I think, also an Apple user. 4. This might explain some other strangeness I've encountered using the forums. I'll poke around some more now that you have given me some insights into what might be happening.

Re: [Jgeneral] Is forum search broken?
Your old forum posts used to have your yahoo email address, but now they are shown as coming from the forum itself, e.g. see the last days messages in the forum search. I am not sure why this is. The forum search hasn't changed for some time. Any suggestions?

[Jgeneral] Is forum search broken?
Having some of my J confusion addressed by kind responses from forum members, I frequently use the forum search page on the wiki to locate old responses. I was not having luck finding replies earlier tonight. In desperation, I searched just for my questions, specifying only my email address, all forms, all dates. I got hits on only 63 messages, all between 2011 and 2014. Many of you might wish that I would limit myself to that, but I'm pretty sure some were missing. Am I doing something (else) wrong? -- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
