Search function |

Any thoughts about moving this board somewhere where the Search function can be restored? It feels like we have a vast library of knowledge, with no way to
access it... :-(

Yeah - what's going on with the search function? Did it work formerly on yuku? Could it be made to work? I did a search when we had the inquiry about yogis
with prosthetics, thinking that I had read something, and was surprised to find the search totally non-functional. Definitely search would be good.

Now that we are not paying, we can't really ask much of Yuku. That's the sad truth.

If we paid, could we have a search function? It's a shame to have so much information and no way to access it.

If we paid, then we'd have support, and I could email them and say "yo! search doesn't work!" and they would do something about it.

How much does a paid account cost? We used to do a fundraising drive each year. Did we stop because people were apathetic?

If I remember correctly, around $300. Last year I didn't start the usual "come on, people, cough up" thread because frankly, the contributions to
this forum have diminished enormously and I felt guilty asking the same regulars to pay again.
But let's do this: those of you who are interested in getting a paid service for the ezboard again, if you'd want to write your username in this thread and how much money you'd be willing to donate (I think the minimum might be $10, in the past people paid between this and $50). If it looks like we will make it to $300 easily, then let's just do it. |

Oh and let me also say that paying will give us the right to ask for the search function to be fixed but no guarantee that it will happen!

Why don't you just try asking yuku if they can sort out the search function? They do bombard us with ads now, so maybe they are actually making money out
of us still anyway.

Go ahead! It doesn't necessarily have to be me :-)

I would if a. I knew what the problem actually was and b. I knew how to contact them. Ian

Right, so you don't know what the problem is, you won't navigate through the page to see if there is any "help" link or email address but you
think it's ok to ask me to do it?
Seriously?!?! |
|||
iandicker |
|||
|
Ouch! I didn't mean for you to do it. I was just being a bit thick. I've now put in a request to yuku to have a look and fix the search facility. You
never know it might just work. Ian

Request submitted - http://support.yuku.com/topic/13267/master/1/?page=4
I would have done this earlier, but I wasn't sure whether I needed to have some kind of admin position or whether I might be stepping on someone. I guess we'll just wait to see what happens. |

Oops - I got kicked off in the middle of composing my reply, so maybe we have two requests.
|

Cool. Speak up if you need any help, Ian or Ray.

Whoa, I just read the support thread. Doesn't sound too hopeful. We may need a different plan...
|
|||
iandicker |

Well at least we know that paying up isn't the answer. Hope the fixit guy is having a great vacation and comes back refreshed and ready to take on the
task! Shame we can't just move without losing the old posts, though maybe they're lost already?

Workarounds are irritating but there is so much good information here that it's probably better to have one than not. Google has indexed this forum and
can be used to search it. As an added bonus you get their spell checking too! Just type this into the search box with your search string(s):
site:yoga84291.yuku.com
Here are some search results as an example: http://www.google.com/sea...mp;ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 Hopefully this won't be needed for too long. Cletus |

Search seems to work now - I hadn't checked on its status until just now.
