Lately I have been having some problems... since armorgames has been so popular, threads are constantly made, and old threads are pushed back. The problem is that I am one of those people who are eager to find out what people have reacted to my thread... I can't find the thread. So I posted this thread for a suggestion. What if you can search for threads. You type up the name of your thread (or any other thread) and hit search. Then it pops up, with other related threads... what do you think?

Actually AG had that thread search originally but it did not work properly. That is why they do not have the search bar for threads up. I beleive they are trying to fix it so that it will search everything correctly but it will take some time before they get it right.

We used to have a "Community" search feature in addition to the games search but there were some serious problems with it. We have every intention of bringing it back once the problem(s) can be solved.

It was not all that bad.

Actually you can ussually google the thread name and armorgames and you should be able to find your thread.

Thanks for the help
Well, I hope they do bring the forum search back, and the chat... not to bring chat back up again or anything but I miss that too.

Well actually Carlie taught me a cool little trick.

Just go to Google and type in the name of the thread and Armor Games, and it should appear as one of the first, if not the first, search results.
