  2. Our gif only content threads have a rule where all thumbs must be posted as a static thumbnail that does not play. Currently imagebam made a change where they no longer produce static thumbs. Therefore, please do not use imagebam, or any host, that provides live playing gifs in those specific threads. If you see your gif playing once you post, try to use a smaller thumbnail and if that does not work use a different approved host.

    This is for all the mods on here to take a gander at. I posted this thread here:
    http://www.phun.org/forum/showthread.php?t=27625

    It's a pic post about a girl named Lia May. A few people have already tried to search for more pics of her but because the search doesn't allow short strings, you get zero results back. This issue was brought to my attention when I told other members (seeking more pics of her) to use the search function and they said, that the seach doesn't work. Try it for yourself and search for more pics of her. ;-)

    Any way around this?

    I'm not sure what search string you used, but when i search for "lia may" I (as well as a other members) get no results back. Sorry if I wasn't clear on my search method. :-|

    It could be that not all the content was transfered over when we switch servers. The old content of a few months/weeks ago was left behind. If that is the case then reposting them is not out of the question.

    Aww crap, sorry about the confusion Azz but I think you're misunderstanding my problem. I posted a thread on Lia May (earlier this week) here: http://www.phun.org/forum/showthread.php?t=27625
    after that, a few other members wanted more pics of her. I told them to search the forums to see if they could find more pics of her. As anyone would, they searched for "Lia May" and got no results (including the post I just did). More simply, if you use a search string too short (ie: Lia May) you get the following error:
    As always, I appreciate your help Azz!

    Looks like the whole search function is down. Not just the short name "lia" I will definately tell this to cayne. No searches are working.

    I've had this problem whilst searching for ladies with 3-letter names, e.g. lucy liu, michelle wie.

    The search won't look for anything that's 3 letters or shorter. It's not a problem with it as such, it just seems to be the way it's designed.
