How can I search in more than one Forum? For example, say I am looking for info on a Flightmaster 911 and want only results from Private Watch Sales and Watch Parts and Acessories and maybe Watchmaking forums?

Apologies if it's obvious and I have simply missed something...

You can go to "Search Threads" in the Advanced Search and select the subforums you want to dig through.

That's how it used to be, but I can't find an advanced search option any longer in the new forum interface

This is what I can see now.

It's under the Forums entry:

I see. It is tucked away at the top of Forums.
Thank you!

Most easy way is to use Google, starting with Omegaforums and the topic You need...
Nowadays I always get "This message is awaiting moderator approval, and is invisible to normal visitors."
Time to leave... 👋

You’ll actually get better results now from the actual search we implemented

If you would care to post a screenshot of what you’re seeing when trying to post that would also be helpful as we literally just began to test that process today in order to prevent spammers and abuse to some extent

Most of my posts get underneath text: "This message is awaiting moderator approval, and is invisible to normal visitors."
I must be posting too much Speedmaster spaceflight related stuff... 🙃

Can you post a screenshot so we can see what you were posting because I haven’t seen any of yours come up for approval at all and can’t see any in the logs either, it might be a bug or something
