Thread: Search weirdness

  1. #1

    Default Search weirdness

    Searching the Q&A forum for "liability" returns, among other things, this thread:

    http://www.thespoils.com/spoils/show...ight=liability

    ...which doesn't contain the word "liability" at all. This isn't a fluke; this seems to happen quite a lot.

    What's happening?

    Well, there are many hidden posts that have been deleted by moderators (and can only be viewed by moderators). One of them contains the word liability. VBulleten appears to search those deleted comments.

    Ah, that explains why I've been seeing them in the Q&A forum.

    If the guilty posts are deleted and not just waiting for a moderator to approve, you'd think there would be some way to expunge them from the DB....

    I looked from the control panels, but couldn't find any way to fix this issue. Sorry about that. I did, however, remove the 10 character minimum requirement for posts! Woohoo!

    I can hard delete anything Josh. As it is, ST told us to just "soft delete" so it's still there just not visible to everyone.
    Home at last!!!! Strangely enough though, I have even less time to myself than I did in Kuwait!
