Forum search - RunUO

I'm probably doing something stupid, but when I search the forums and get a list of posts and click on the post within the border I get the first post of the thread instead of the post offered by the search engine. Am I doing something wrong or are there more persons that experience this behavior?

Inside each of the post results you should see something like this

[Thread Name]
Posted by [user]
[Post title] <--- click this

Thanks for the reply. I tried that with IE as well as Firefox, but it won't work, allthough that seems to be the case with large threads only. Try a search on 'repair, and MalGanis ML will come up with list of posts. If you click one of the the posts, the first post of the thread will come up.

Ahhh i see what you mean. Well prolly just a bug in the forums. If you look at what the link is, it should should a post id and you can use that to go through the thread to find what you are looking for, but thats about it. You could also try using google. Just add "site:runuo.com" to the end of your search query and it might find it.

I can certainly live with it, but i wanted to know if I messed up my browser setting, so a confirmation of the fact helps! Thanks again.

Yeah, not all threads have that problem with me though. So check to see if it works for other searches.
