Advanced search not working?
I'm getting a 'Database error' message when I click advanced search at the top here, tried it several times today - anyone else experiencing the same?
The error says "The Video Fitness Forum database has encountered a problem."

I can't remember the last time the advanced search option worked.

I use the advanced search option pretty frequently and have never had a problem with it until yesterday.

I search VF from Google. Put in first Video Fitness Forum and than whatever I am searching for. It works so well for me, that I haven’t searched through VF in ages.

Anyone has a way to contact Wendy to let her know? I know some are on her facebook... Pam, thanks I will use that workaround for now - the advanced search here used to work pretty well, I liked that results could be in thread format instead of posts.

Searching via google using site:videofitness.com and then search terms is how I most often search the forum as well.
However, the advanced tool was very useful when trying to search for old threads to tag because you could search for threads with a certain word or words in the title. I do a lot of tagging  and it's helpful (I think) to have older threads come up alongside newer threads on the same subject.
