Is it just me or is it really hard to find anything anymore?

Numerous times, when I've researched stories posted on here (by title and/or username) both on Google and using the site's search bar, I've had trouble finding topics. Even if I type the name of the story or topic word for word, it STILL won't come up on google or on the search results when i use the site's search bar. I didn't used to have this problem. Is it

because of the recent updates?

It is because of the recent updates, I think. IDK if Google has updated their rankings yet, but every time I google things related to the site since the recent updates, I just get broken URLs. Hopefully this will change as Google adjusts to the new site!

yeah, recent updates have broken basically every link that was made pre-update because of site restructuring. basically, they took out the /forums/ section of the url/site, which means that all the old links that used to look like this (using this thread as an example):

http://www.sneezefetishforum.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=63208#entry706968

now look like this:

http://www.sneezefetishforum.org/index.php?showtopic=63208#entry706968

thus, every link from before the update is now broken.

I've never liked using the site's search engine. I put in the tags for what I'm looking for in a story, and it gives me stories that have ONE of any of the tags along with a bunch I'm not interested in. Same principle for key words, plus when I do find the story, the words are highlighted, which I find to be very irritating and distracting.

I did find this problem. What I do now is click on the link and erase the "/forums". The link will then work.
