Any idea why search doesn't work for me - What more can I do?

I was wondering if anybody else had this problem?

I used to post lots of Competitions but slowly gave up as the search always shows them as not being on here - So I post a Competition to then find it has already been posted. I search the URL and Keywords before posting and it always comes up that nothing has been found!

:rotfl: Then someone replies with a link to the Competition on here.

Is there anything else I can do or should I just call it quits and stop posting them. I can't remember the last one I Posted that was not a Dupe and I do feel really guilty about it! :o

    It hasn't worked properly for me for the last couple of weeks. It either says I need to wait 15 seconds between each search or comes up with no results found even if it is a site I know I have posted from before. It does work eventually but usually after trying 5 or 6 times and sometimes more so I have actually stopped posting as many as I would have or could do unless I am 99% sure they haven't been posted. Hopefully it is a temporary glitch but I have been hoping that for the last couple of weeks and still nothing has changed.
  • Same thing been happening for me too, i like putting the end date in to see if ive missed any finishing for the next day and it keeps saying there are no results, even when looking for a particular word still no results its very annoying!
