Problem With Ab Search Box?

[aelmpvw]

when i go into my profile via the search box there aren't any questions or answers appearing, is there a problem with answerbank?

[emmie]

i typed your username in to the search box and indeed no questions, answers appear. But if you go into profile,
and click on that there are all the questions and answers

[emmie]

so i don't know why this is the case, perhaps Ed can say....

[ummmm]

I can see your questions when I click on your name.

[emmie]

so can i

same problem, no questions or answers.

[aelmpvw]

it works ok if i click on 'view your profile' but that doesn't help when i want to view other abers questions and answers

[emmie]

must be a problem with AB, put a message on Ed's message board

I don't know why it's not working but I have never used that route anyway.
If you view your profile and then replace your user name with the user name you want it will take you to their profile and their questions/answers

It's probably due to the recent server migration, that the techies carried out last week.

Until they get it sorted out, a simple workaround (if you can't immediately see a post from the relevant member, so that you can click on their avatar anyway) is to click on any AB memeber's avatar and then manually change the URL to include the username you actually want to see.

For example, if I click on Emmie's avatar above, I'm taken here:
https://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/members/emmie/
Changing 'emmie' to 'buenchico', and hitting 'Enter' then takes me here:
https://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/members/buenchico/

That works with nearly all AB members' profiles but there are just a few (usually where their username includes a space or similar) where it might not work.

I’m finding that searches for terms like “crossword” are currently not displaying any links to the results on the mobile version. Anyone else got this?

Hi everyone, we are currently looking into this. I will update you all when I can.

[Hagen]

Search seems to be OK now.

[dannyk13]

Yes, just worked for me.

[aelmpvw]

just come back on to ab and the search seems to be back to normal :-)

[ABSpareEditor]

The issue has been resolved now.

[Hagen]

Was working before but search has stopped returning relevant thread links again 24.00 UK time.

[THECORBYLOON]

I've just done a search for AELMPVW and it comes up showing the number of questions and answers but it doesn't list them.

[aelmpvw]

problem was fixed, seems to have gone wrong again :-(

[dannyk13]

Just checked and problem is back again.
