hmmm... I wonder if Mike R searched as a guest... in that case technically you'd both have the same userid, of 0.

Yes, I searched as a guest so others would be able to view the link without signing in. It's the polite thing to do.

That is what it is... you were both guests so it worked... But in any case still a bad idea as the results will expire probably within an hour or two.

I saw... My point remains valid- it is bad practice to link to search results. If someone is signed in as a different user it won't work and even if both are the same user (or guest) it eventually times out. vBulletin.org had a long timeout, I've seen forums with 10 to 15 minute time outs on results.

That said none of this was necessary I recognize his name from both vBulletin.com and .org forums.

but since it was directed at me, and I apparently clicked the link, that wasn't supposed to work, early enough, the post was perfectly fine :tiphat:

It works because Mike R changed it to "Viewing Profile" instead of "Search Results." Search Results stopped working within a couple hours like I said they would.

I knew exactly why it still worked, but watching you get all raaarr over it makes it worth bringing up again ;) And actually, originally you said the search wouldn't work from the beginning :shush:
