Unable to Search in Specific Model Forums

I used to be able to go to the advanced search & narrow down my search to the model / generation / sub forums, but not today. What has changed? What am I doing wrong now?

Thanks for all you do.

This is one I am not aware of.

Is this the advanced search that you use? https://acurazine.com/forums/search.php

Were the car forums previously available? If so, It looks like all of them dropped out of the drop down menu. All it shows now is a selection for Acura Model Specific Communities.

After I get some replies and confirm this I will bring this to astro and IB's attention but it could be related to the threads not opening problem discussed in your other thread, if it was previously available.

Yes

Yes, previously all of the model forums & sub forums were available to narrow down my searches. Now they are either missing or wide open.

Ron A, Thanks for checking into this.

Bump!

I'm having the exact same problem. I first noticed it earlier this month and maybe back in June, but thought it was just a temporary glitch. I've been using this feature for years with no issues until now. Searching the 2nd gen CL and TL sides are impossible now

Please help!!

Me too. Cannot search in model specific forums. It doesn't even show the models, just the parent folder "Acura Model Specific Communities" (can't even search that either!).

Any word on this? It is very frustrating to search for say.. "ball joint" and get ball joint topics from all categories and realize half way through an article I'm reading about a TSX instead of a 3G TL. I used to be able to select the sub category of 3G TL for my searches so whatever I searched would be specific to my car. Now I have to search the ENTIRE acurazine forum.

Still nothing? I mentioned this in the mod forum a while back.

Still nothing here. Would a screenshot help?

EDIT: This is one of the most important features of the site, IMO.

Hi everyone,

This is an unintended consequence of some work our tech team did last month. They've been trying to figure out a solution and hope to have something in place this week. Our apologies for the delay!

cheers,
robb

I saw that there was an issue with the search a few months ago. However, I went to search and was specifically looking for the 1st gen TSX. There is no TSX sub-list indicated in the advanced search menu.
