    hello
    I'm having an issue with my feedback posts in the Sales corner.
    When I do a search to check my feedback posts that other members have left me, I get the message that the search was unsuccessful because the search word "DIV" is too short or too common.
    Other than starting all over with a new member name which is longer, is there anything else that could remedy that?
    It's important for others to be able to see my positive seller/buyer reputation posts.

    Thank you
    Dan

    I don't know if it would help much, but I did get a few hits on google using the following two search terms:
    site:eek:megaforums.net seller DIV
    site:eek:megaforums.net/forums/watch-seller-profiles/ DIV
    (the : o) changes to a emoticon, just put it without the space)
    I think you would be able to get the review post if you type in your username together with the username of the person you transacted with. Other than there being a system change, I think the only way is to use other creative search terms together with your name...

    whoa! how did you get it to not change into an emoticon?!
    Also I like how most of the time lmgtfy is kind of a way to make fun of someone but this time it's one of the few times where it's not used for that purpose. :thumbsup:

    I think because it's a link, it doesnt change to emotion?

    But yeah, not making fun, just used for illustrative purposes . :D

    Weird, because I quoted the link and it still changed into the emoticon!
    But anyway, yeah, I guess the best option is to put the username with DIV via google.

    Thanks guys...great help, but still not perfect....I think they're does need to be a system change to allow for shorter member names in the searches.

    Much appreciated...

    I just use the google trick as well. but I also find the internal search function frustrating when trying to search the site. Virtually anything I attempt to search for is too common, and have to search externally to find it. Some times you want to find common things, ya know? But all-in-all the google search method works.

    Thanks. I guess we should underestimate that Google is the most powerful and sophisticated search engine for a reason (or many)....
