Default forum is wack

there has been a question about tire mileage on 09's at the top of the touring forum for days and it only has 3 replies has any one else noticed this. and search is way off target if you don't type in the exact words you will never find a specific post, it has not been right since about a year ago when it changed. just my 2 cents

For me it has not. Try hitting f5 for refresh. Alot of times, when I am at work and that computers does not restart I need to refresh to see the most current topic. I have been seeing many diffrent on my 3 computers. Just sayin..... I agree on the search though.

Not sure what you are seeing with the post at the top all the time...as I have not seen that. Molsen could be right...

+1 on the search function though. It's hit and miss. Wish there was a better way to perform more focused searches as most attempts end up with little to do with the intended subject. JMHO

Other than that I love this forum!

I haven't noticed that on my home pc or at work. Maybe try deleting your temporary internet files or refresh the page as suggested in post above.

the threads seem to stay up to date for me, but the search does seem out of whack.. I look up front fender install and get a hundred hits on things that don't remotely deal with a fender..

The search function needs to be fixed up for sure. The problem is that it will drop small words from the search que. So say you search for 'harley cam chain', it will drop the word 'cam' out of the search. So you end up with everything to do with the words 'harley' and 'chain' but nothing to do with cams..

Surely this can be adjusted in the software or server search engine?
