I tried refreshing my page in my non-logged-in browser, but I still can't see any of the previously hidden forums.  Joy, Lynn

Mike, you can look for older posts/stories if you clear out the "Newer than" drop down lists. (Click the down arrow and choose the first (blank) option for each list.) My thanks to Michael for pointing that one out.
Joy,
Lynn I am sorry, did not see Michael's post on the subject and believed the statement in the search where it stated "Maximum Date Range is one year". I am glad that works and thanks. Anyone know how to get the search to return only the original posts not all the replies. 1. The replies are just the original post name with a RE: in front so they don't tell you anything and 2. You have to scroll many pages to get all of the original posts. On the other hand the performance seems much better. Thanks Mike

I can see two possible solutions: 1) Include the original poster's name in the Display Name Search field. 2) Search only subject lines and add -Re: to your search terms. (Note the Advanced Search Tips hints link beside the Keyword Search Terms field for added hints.) Joy, Lynn

Ah! There were two separate permissions - one to view topics, the other to view the forum itself. All have now been reset, and I tests in a non-logged-in browser and could see all the forums.

EDIT: Okay, my original post coincided with Wendy. Wendy, here's the list of nFic forums visible from a not-logged in browser: Lois and Clark nFanfic Lois and Clark nFanfic TOCs Superman In Other Canon nFanfic Superman In Other Canon nFanfic TOCs You can still see all the posted topics and the members who started them and who replied last. There should be a setting to hide the forum's threads. And then only the last thread remains publicly visible. Or you hide the entire forum...  Michael

Michael, see my post above yours: I've just fixed this issue and tested it. Wendy, here's the list of forums visible from a not-logged in browser: Lois and Clark Fanfic (topics, member, and content) Lois and Clark nFanfic (topics, member) Fanfic Challenge (topics, member, and content) Original Fiction (topics, member, and content) Fanfic Related (topics, member, and content) Lois and Clark Fanfic TOCs (topics, member, and content) Lois and Clark nFanfic TOCs (only the current topic and member in the main page) Superman In Other Canon nFanfic (topics, member) Superman In Other Canon nFanfic TOCs (topics, member) I think the permissions need some more tweaking.

Joy,
Lynn  Nope. Sadly, now non-registered visitors don't see ANY "Superman in Other Canon" Forums (and related TOCs) as they've now disappeared. The "Lois and Clark Nfic" Forum is gone from non-registered people's sights as well, but the "Lois and Clark Nfic TOC" is still there.

Sweet, now the permissions check out. New Challenge: How do we advertise the nFic boards now? Or are they still visible to registered users who don't have nFic access yet? Michael

Virginia, Not sure I understand removing "search within" parameters. Do you mean Subject, Body, Body and Subject or the forums list or something else entirely different Mike * Click "Search" button. * In the "Search Screen" highlight (in blue, off to the left of the screen) the "Lois and Clark FanFic" Forum (if looking there, or TOC if you want the TOC). * Type "Wrong Clark" without quotes, with spaces, no "+" signs (or whatever story name you're searching for). * Click the button "in subject". * In "Display Name" type "VirginiaR" (or whatever author you're searching for) * Under "Date Range", erase the "1" and "Week(s)" (by scrolling up the drop-down menu) so that NO dates parameters are given -- FYI: This was the "search within" I was referring to earlier. I must have forgotten to type "date"  * Press "Submit" button Hope that helps in your searching of stories. It sure will help me on fixing my broken links.

Virginia,
That probably works in the TOC forum due to very few replies. I posted a reply to one of your posts in a different thread which covered a technique that trial and error (the dynamic duo) found.
I decided to find all of the original story posts for Wrong Clark. The reason mostly was to check techniques against volume because this baby has some volume.
The search string trial and error had the most success with was
+"Wrong Clark (" -"FDK - Wrong Clark" -"Re: Wrong Clark"
+"Wrong Clark (" looks to include any posts with the text in quotes
-"FDK - Wrong Clark" looks to exclude FDK posts
-"Re: Wrong Clark" looks to exclude replies to original story posts (infrequent but they do happen)
Hopefully this might be of some help to others.
Mike
