Side Item Search Disabled?

Mon Aug 30, 2004 10:30 pm

When I try to search for an item in the yellow sidebar, the only thing that comes up with is Neopedia and Help Articles. Is it a glitch, or did they disable item searching? o_O

Hm, you're right, they seem to have gotten rid of it. Maybe we'll get some official word on it later on this week.

I noticed something was missing... Ah well, it's good in my opinion, no remotely interesting items even showed up on that (like paint brushes). :P

I noticed it for the past week or so, i think...wish it wasn't gone...

I liked that, it came in handy sometimes, I wonder why TNT got rid of it. o_O

If they bother to mention it at all. It was useful for when I couldn't think of the full name of an object!!!!

Shop Wizard can do that to. And it can show you how much it REALLY is. :)

Hmm...now that I think of it, perhaps they disabled it to make Mystery Pic harder, or some other aspect of the site harder. :\ Either that, a glitch, or a reprogramming.

It's really annoying, but I found a spiffy new plugin on Firefox to shop wiz stuff, so it's not as bad as it could be. ^_^

I would think it would affect the Mystery Pic that much because it rarely ever is an item mind you (since I joined they've only had one) ;P

I've been thinking it's more of a glitch on their part.

Oh well, I never really used it before, except for users/pets and articles.

I miss it, I used to use it alot when I was trying to help a friend out finding certain things for her gallery.

But I think? alot of people were using it to get an item picture and then saving it and using it for backgrounds, etc. That may be why it doesn't work anymore.

I noticed. That makes me kind of annoyed. I hope its a glitch or there is a good reason. I comes in handy on quests. You can copy and paste one item,drop the other in the search bar and write others if needed..I loved that feature.

yeah i miss the item search bar..i used to find out item rarity with it...

Yeah, that's not very fair - how are people going to get that angelpuss avatar now??
