Edit: search engine?

Journal Entry: Sun May 23, 2010, 4:53 AM
If anyone is online, do you know if your deviation search engine is working? Is it a V7 problem? Thanks, just wondering whether others are having that problem too.

***

Hello again, I do believe this is the third time I've come back from a particularly long absence (long for me, anyway). My computer got hit with a very nasty virus and I had to wipe the hard drive and reset it back to factory default. I was able to backup all my beloved files though; it's just a pain because now I have to redo my iTunes library to suit my disfunctional ipod as well as reload pragrams including photoshop. It took a number of weeks before me and my friend had the time and resources to fix my computer, but hopefully it will actually now run much faster.

On other news, ?I'm not really going to be posting many comments and stuff - just gonna stick to a few things on here whilest I try my hand at embroidery but that's all. So there will likely no activity (or at least very little) from me.

Tee tee for then and ta ta for now.

P.S. Thank you for the comments and favourites over the past month or so, tiz much appreciated even if I haven't popped rounf to your page to show my thanks.

Glad your back. :)

If you want the search bar engine, go to drop down menu next to the logo. Find the stick menu and click on it. You should have the search bar on your right side.

Thanks! I am glad to have the search bar back where I can access it anytime rather than having to go to the galleries to use that one.

Sorry about your troubles, at least you're in the process of getting stuff back to "normal". I had such things happen to me in the past and it was really annoying!

Damn, this new DA system sucks ass :(

I am very thankful I got my data back - I hope you did too! I can't imagine the frustration it would cause to loose everything. It feels more than just data when time-consuming art projects and documents are at risk of being deleted.

And yeah... this new version just annoys me. The search engine doesn't work, and I use that pretty much every time I'm on here.

The search is only accessible from the front page, which blows :(

I've had a couple of virus caused incidents, luckily I was able backup my data each time. But back in 2002, when we had a harddrive crash, I've lost all my treasured MK pictures that I collected in nearly 2 years (on a very slow dial-up connection). I was very sad back then but soon we got cable connection and I was able to get everything back.

Someone just explained me how to get the search thing to show; here's their comment which explains how to get it: [link]

Dial up makes it painful to recover lost images; glad you eventually got your collection back though! Good to hear also that you managed to save your files when you were hit by those viruses. Damn the people who code them! :frustrated:

Thanks for the tip, I didn't know that. It's useful because I search a lot and I don't wanna go to the main page each time.
Yep, useless idiots who got nothing better to do! Adware and similar malware are also very annoying, not as dangerous to the system but very hard to get rid of.

Glad to help. And yeah... adware/malware clog my computer up (or rather, used to). I need to install Malware Bytes soon... probably right now actually (still installing programs on the computer, but protection should probably take priority).
