Can they please fix the search option in the forum topics. There are WAY to many topics to go through manually when you're looking for something specific.
Ha, your funny!
Forum search has been broken for years. Good luck!
Seriously! It's weak as hell!

It would even help if they extended the main page list to the most recent 10 Topics instead of 5. Then you may not have to search back so far...
There's no money to be made by fixing it.
Apparently, the Customer Support for this website is absolutely being overrun with calls from members because every single time I have called Support, there is a message that says my wait time will be more than 10 minutes and that I should call back later when there are support agents aren't so busy. So how can this not have been fixed by now?

Did you not get the all-member message from the admins a few months back asking for people to work for them, getting paid when an issue was resolved to their satisfaction? If they only want to pay on spec, do you think they'd care to sink a dime into an issue that doesn't earn them that dime?

No, we must have missed that memo.

Ahh, I see from your join date you weren't on here yet.

That makes sense. If they would let me and give me the access, I would gladly do what I could to help fix some of the issues with this site.
If you are really committed here are the steps to use Google to search (yes people the forum is indexed on Google) and then view it the regular viewer on the site. BTWs, it's totally crap that we have to do this and that the site doesn't work.

1) use google.com to search by adding "swingular.com:" in front of your keywords (e.g. "swingular.com:kik". This tells Google to limit results to just this site.
2) Click on the result you like and you'll then be taken to a hideous, somewhat sanitized (vanilla, hehe) view of the post that is totally unreadable. Don't panic yet.
3) Grab the number from the URL (e.g. https://www.swingular.com/swingers/i/16397/KIK-Chat would be 16397)
4) Make sure you are logged into the site and add your number to the post view url of https://www.swingular.com/post.php?_a=view&_PID=[[number here]] and press enter (e.g. https://www.swingular.com/post.php?_a=view&_PID=16397)
5) Come back here and post again about how stupid it is that you have to do that

Like I said, you have to be committed.

Thank you for the clear, accurate steps of this fresh hell.
