Moderator closes the ZR1/Z06 Merge Thread, so here it is again
DebRedZR1 closed the following thread and said it belonged here, so here it is:
Calling all moderators, will the Z06 thread search be fixed?
I have PMed two of you with no reply. Anything older than May 2017 is now unsearchable.
Is there anything in the works to correct this?
In addition may I ask why was the merge instituted in the first place?
Agreed...the search function is essentially useless for us C6Z owners post merge. I've been a supporting (paying) member for some time now...inaction on repairing matters such as this makes me rethink that.
Some "SMART" person decided to merge two distinctly separate models and make a mess of things.
And now has chosen to ignore all the complaints of members asking it be restored to what it was.
And the lack of any comments by the ADMINS usually means its a subtle "SCREW YOU".
But what can we do, its obvious they will not be un-merging anything, because the person who decided to do this will not want to be found at fault, so it will continue to be a mess because a poor decision was made and the decision maker has no desire to admit they screwed it all up.
Just my $0.02 cents
I just played with it a bit and it sucks- as in doesn't work. Lovely.
Is anybody going to even respond?
I'm fine with the merge; it is what it is...but the search function (or non-function) is just plain terrible. For us C6Z owners, its essentially 10 years worth of information which is inaccessible through the intended process that was specifically designed to access such information. Did they even bother to test the functionality of this type of a merge before they rolled it out? Absolute bush league.
Paste this over on the "for sale" forum excluding a price, I bet you will get a response asap.
I use Google now as this site is screwed up. And Google does a pretty good job looking for Z06 specific stuff on the forum but also sends me to other forums where they get my clicks. So they are losing money on the deal and they didn't even save anything with the merge. Irrational except for cleaning up the home page, really?

I don't know if this happens to anyone else, but for the past several days I get a broken link when I click on "C6 Z06" in the right hand side bar. However clicking "C6 ZR1" gets me here.
We aren't all here 24/7, if you had used the contact us link at the bottom of the page instead of PM'ing 2 people someone would have got back to you sooner.
Have you tried the Help Forum?
In the meantime let me see if we can get someone to address your concerns/questions
Sometimes issues like this take a bit of research to find out what is going on...... The tech issues are beyond our scope but we are trying to get a answer/fix. The HELP section does have tech people monitoring

Asked you to PM me additional information since the search is working as it should for me.

Several of you have PMed me some specific examples with links on posts/threads that exist, but that don't show up on a search.
I've been able to search for and get hits on Z06 posts/threads that were made before the merger, but the examples show that not all posts/threads in the database are showing up on searches. I don't understand why that's happening, but have forwarded the examples to the tech team. Thanks for the help.
