Errant6 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Many of the more popular mods end up with dozens or even hundreds of posts on their respective comments history and in times past there was a link to a related forum thread where we could do keyword searches. If that forum link still exists I haven't found it, nor have I found a way to search comments without reading every.single.post. I am I missing something or was there a deliberate decision to make researching mod issues much more difficult that it used to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7531Leonidas Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I believe that this was a (temporary) casualty of updating the forum here. The update of the mod comment forum is supposed to bring back the search option, I think. Someone else will have to let you know for sure. Try searching this feedback topic for your answer, if no one else gets back to you here: Upon looking, I think that if you search this other one for 'mod comments', you will find the answer you seek...

Pickysaurus Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 This question was answered in the site news. https://www.nexusmods.com/news/14894 We are bringing back comment search, the timescale has not yet been locked in but it will return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Errant6 Posted March 23 Author Share Posted March 23 Thank you for the responses. Seems like Nexus has been going through some trials, I hope everything comes together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmstearn Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 Is this still on track? Had bookmarked some comments in the USSEP thread a while back, unfortunately unavailable at this time. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7531Leonidas Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 When you go to the 'Posts' tab on a mod page, the search box is displayed just above the 'Add Comment' button. I just did a check for 'mesh' on the USSEP page, and it gave results, some as far back as 2016, just by scanning the first page of results.

lmstearn Posted November 24 Share Posted November 24 The comment histoires precede 2016 greatly, e.g the MGE comments from 2006, and a lot before that, so yes thanks, that's a useful functionality for keyword search. Why did I post here? A forlorn hope that using the old_forum_page_numbers as keywords would bring up the old forum pages, or at least a formula on hand which can convert an old_forum_page_number to an existing mod comment page number. Hats off to the CAPS, GIF, and tiny/large font contributors of yesteryear to make it easy for the old links to be less broken. Might be out of luck at this time, will keep tuned for developments.

Pickysaurus Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 I'm afraid the old forum links will no longer work. You can use the comment search as Leonidas mentioned though to find specific comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
