Hi, I am new to this BB and just registered. Tried a search for the word CommuniTech (a hosting provider's name) but it always returns 0 results. Also tried lower case w/o success.
I know there is at least 1 post with that word in it (in Hosts-The good and the bad-DigitalNation thread- 11-3-99 00:40PM).
Maybe you have to be a senior member to get it to work?

Thanks for replying so fast! It's working now, and its' fast!
I do have another question: how are the messages sorted? By date? They seem to jump up and down sometimes.
I would like to get the very first message to appear at the top or bottom of a thread, and then follow all the replies from there. Is there a way of doing that?

this is what we all would like
the reason that posts are still a little messed up is, we converted The Webmaster Forums to UBB a couple of days ago and there were some things wrong with the conversion.
The problem is, this website was down for almost 50 hours and i was urged to re-open without fully checking everything inside out.
And it's really very difficult to iron out all things on a running active system, I can't just wipe everything out and start the conversion all over
I hope you and everybody else is not too angry about this inconvenience.

cheers

Sorry if I seemed a bit pushy yesterday. I did not realize the problems you had just recovered from.
Thanks for providing such an excellent service for free! I do appreciate it, and I have gleaned some useful info from some of the threads already.
