Tip for easy search.

A member posted in the Help forum about the Icons for model years such as the icon. What use are they? If you click on any of the icons it will bring all of the threads with that icon to the top. Only interested in , click on that icon in any thread and it will bring all of the threads with that icon to the top. Same goes for the icon or any of the others.

This feature has been in existence for long time but we have a lot of new members who may not have realized that it would work that way.

This and many other interesting features of the Technical Discussion Board are discussed in the FAQ available in the menu at the top of the page.

John....What happened to the bar on the front page that had the "Corvette Community"? It was a list of all current members. I can't see it anymore. How do I look up a NCRS Member? Thanks

Re: Tip for easy search.

Thank you for the info. Looks like the magic icons are only show up in the Forum Sub-Sections such as the Technical Discussion sub-section rather and not in the New Posts which is what I check every day.

Re: Tip for easy search.

That is right as you are looking for New posts. If you go to the full forum and click on one of the icons the new threads or threads that have new replies will be in bold while any that you have already read will not be bold.

Gary, John,

Any ideas what happened to the posts I contributed a couple of days ago on this thread describing a problem with the search function?

Mark
I moved your posts on general search questions to the Discussion Board Help Forum, and thought I sent you an email notifying you of that.
If I did not, I apologize.
Here is a link to your posts, and answers.
