A suggestion for using the SEARCH FEATURE and POSTS - Diesel Forum

I've noticed many complaining about the search feature and I've experienced problems, but found a way around them.

1) Instead of clicking on the link your search page has generated, then clicking 'Back', right-click on the link and select 'Open Link in New Window'. This will allow you to look at the result to see if it's what you want while keeping the main window in tact in the background

2) If your search times out click 'Forums' in the nav menu at the top of the site before trying to search again. This should post the page back to the server and 'reset' it for whatever reason.

3)If you are writing a long reply or are one to type slowly, copy your reply before you hit 'submit'. That way if your reply has timed out, you can simply hit reply again, and paste your original message. I haven't had particular problems with this, but I do type rather quickly.
If you have any more tips please add them.
