Hi everyone. I'll start with saying I'm sorry if this is the wrong section to put this but I'm experiencing search issues and not sure if it's me or just the way the forum works.

Here is an example of my issue:

In the general Halloween section I will click search, go advance, select posts in the past week and accept. My problem is that it doesn't accept the search, it says I MUST search key words, but I don't want to search key words. I want to just see the posts I missed over the past week regardless of what they were about.

There are so many different topics and sections that I don't want to miss anything I might otherwise overlook because maybe the topic doesn't exactly fit what is said or whatever.

I hope someone understands what I mean here. I know that may not have been very clear.

So ... Is there anything to help with this? Any assistance is very much appreciated.

In the General Halloween section at the BOTTOM of the page on the left, do you see the "Display Options"?

You should see
"Sorted By" "Sort Order" "From The"
Under the "From The" section you can choose to sort this forum by time.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for.

If you click Search and then "New Posts" then it will show you the posts that have been posted since your last visit. Does that help at all?

I think what you're looking for can be found at the top, click on Links if the menu doesn't pop up on its own and then Today's Posts.

This forum is busy enough right now that you'd be here for a day trying to find/read all new posts in the last week

Also make sure you stay logged in to make all of these options work.

All of those are great suggestions, but tried them all. It sounds like I can't really do what I'd like it to do but that is okay.

Unfortunately I have to step away from the computer a lot when I am logged on. So if I am away too long it logs me out and when I log back in it only wants to show me new posts since I was in just a little while ago.

Oh well, I tried Thanks for all the suggestions everyone.
