Congratulations to our newest moderator....

Indeed, like Eric said.... I'm on the other side of the clock from y'all. I'm at my peak when y'all are going to bed and vise versa. It's almost 0100 here and not even 1100 on the east coast.... That and my sleeping habits are about as bad as they get. 4 hour naps twice a day is about as good as I get.

Damn it's almost 8am here.

 

[ThatTmoGuy]

Almost 8 am here and I've been up for about 4 hours already FML!

Why would you use google? Save the site in your bookmarks.

I use google sometimes because the search on the site sucks

 

[Bogus]

Ah you got me there, I don't search stuff here just view what shows up on my CP.

 

[Javiero]

Congrats Eric! I have learned alot with your valuable posts. Thanks man!

 

[JCHAG]

Congrats Eric, well deserved!

Agreed. I spent almost 5 hours reading a 900 post thread and fumbling through the search function (tag search, post search, thread search, advanced search, keyword search) and still couldn't find the info I was looking for. A quick Google search displayed a few SOF posts that likely had the info, but after clicking the links, I was directed to FileStore72.info - Your File Hosting[url] This happens using both Safari and Chrome.

I then post my question, quickly received a response, and my inquiring mind was in the know. But I was also told I didn't search hard enough. Awesome.

Happened to me with Firefox too.

I've still never had it happen but Mike is looking into it again.

Eric uses the web to find info on the forum, I use the forum search with good results but I think I'm a gluten for punishment. I can page through 2-20 pages before I find what I want, it takes dedication.

 

[seanp1]

I get the FILE STORE redirect when clicking on a link to a new post here via google reader.
It's not every time but it does happen at least 4 times a day. Should we make a thread so we can post about this issue vs clog of your Congrats thread?

 

[Eric Smit]

I think there is one in site news and feedback. if not, go ahead and make one.

If you hit the redirect, just hit back to get to google and then click the link again and it should work

Indeed, it's easier to rely on the common knowledge of a few individuals (and their ability to find answers...) vs the already developed knowledge of the forum and good ol' initiative on one's own part.

I apologize if it seemed like I was trying to provoke a condescending remark. I was simply referencing a pop culture meme in an attempt to find humor in my extremely frustrating, time-consuming and unproductive search for information on this forum.

 

[rdss]

Yeah, I gotcha. My reply wasn't pointed at you but to go along with your post. It is a pain in the rear to search on the forum, it just takes a little patience and the desier to search from the newest post to the oldes knowning that the post you're looking for is months old (sometimes 20 pages of old posts).
