searching forum through Darkloader.... - by fortuni

I've noticed that if you use darkloader to 'look up this mission on the internet' a fair no. of T1/TG 'cheapmissions' pages come up blank. and of those that do bring up the 'cheapmissions' page even more incorrectly redirecting you to the wrong TTLG forum thread, sometimes bringing up editors guild page and sometimes not the best thread available for that mission.
i know we all can use advanced search box, but non-TTLG member cant use that facility and so are unable to search for the correct thread, i remember b4 i joined TTLG i used to mainly do a direct google search....for lack of forum usage through darkloader/cheapmission
so far have have check out 77 T1/TG fms this way and found 26 either come up blank or wrong thread
is this issue to do with darkloader, cheapmissions or TTLG ? ( i don't wish to ask epithumia or nickie to take on a massive headache ) but is there anything that can be done...easily to rectify this
significant missions affected inc....bloodstone prison, deadly darkness, dread, events in highrock, fishmonger, garretts revenge, gathering at the bar, autumn in lampfire hills, lord binclair..........i'm yet to go through m-z

It is to do with thiefmissions so it would be epithumia's call, and there is no "easy" fix to this. It would be time consuming and probably not worth it since any thread is easily found by using Google (ttlg.com: keyword).

Seems fair enough.......I'll consider this thread closed then

Don't get me wrong, I'd like to see it happen too. Ultimately it would be up to epithumia but it might help if you were to keep track of which ones were broken. That way, if he (or anyone in the future) does get the time and desire to do something about it, that list would be available and make things easier.

i could easily draw up a list of T1/TG fms with broken / incorrect listings and even paste the correct thread, and email list over to epithumia, but i'm can't do all the T2 fms......as only got about 200 fms loaded, but could do those that i do have.
would also only list the main fms, the ones that people are most likely to look up to search for hints when stuck
