Try adding a '2' behind the word 'forums' in the URL. Someone discovered and mentioned this a week or so. I think the site is doing some server swapping around, and so they have bits on the new server and other bits on the old server...they haven't updated their links properly though...you'll find that to get to the gallery, you have to *delete* the 2, whereas for these old posts, you need to *add* the 2. :)

Kat, I've decided to quit concerning myself with it...not much one can do. If it is someone I have traded with (and know) I will maybe put a link to the 'right' (original post with the correct spelling and all), and try and point future posters in that direction...otherwise I figure members can/will take care of it themselves maybe(?). That way, at least I can help those I 'know.'

Forgot to add that the ?# that is supposed to follow .html on messages that reside on forums2.gardenweb.com is also missing, i.e., the results returned: http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/exseed/msg0118570514094.html and it should have been http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/exseed/msg0118570514094.html?1

For years I have used http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en with gardenweb.com in the domain field. This allows for a variety of inclusions and exclusions in the keyword and phrase fields. The display of sort order is unfamiliar but one can quickly get accustomed to this by adding and deleting keywords and phrases. Once one finds what one wants there are several ways to save that thread. If one wants to save it brieflly just drag the address to a gray bar usually found below the address or bookmark it for longer keeping. An additional advantage of Google is that on very active forums one may find stuff in cache that is too old to find on Gardenweb. Here is a link that might be useful: Google Advanced Search
