Thanks Kevin...still it's a bit sad because for many it deletes half the benefits of the usage of FT...we hope it can be fixed soon. Thanks for your hard work on it.

In the meantime, I selected no email notification in my subscribed threads section on my profile because I dont want to be emailed everytime someone posts but I do want to see a list of my posts and choose what I want to read. It is showing no subscribed threads for me now, does it only show threads I respond to post changing my preference? or will my previous posts show up at some point?

Are you sure you also spelled canceled wrong? If you did spell it wrong (the way the OP did), then the search must be intermittent:

Yes, I'm sure I spelled it the same way the OP did. I did notice and remember the two l's in "cancelled".

My theory about the question mark is wrong. I tried a different thread with a question mark and it worked fine. So there must be some other reason why it doesn't find the Daily Show thread with "cancelled" as part of the search.

I tried it and my results were similar to yours. You can find the thread if you search for "Daily Show", but a search for "Daily Show cancelled" yields this:

Nothing found to match your search request

Reason: Your search terms were not found

Possible Cause: You may have searched for something our search engine has never seen before. Try using a simpler form of the word, for example if you searched for the word "fishes", try revising your search with the simplistic form "fish" instead.

Possible Cause: You may have searched for something that was missed by the indexer. In this case, if you know for certain your search should have found results, notify us and we will rebuild the appropriate portion of the index.

Please try revising your search terms and try again. If you believe your search terms should be returning results, please create a post in the user support forum, detailing exactly what you were searching for and an idea of what you feel it should be returning for results.

I just ran the same search and it worked okay for me again:

Weird. I just ran it again a got nothing when "Daily Show cancelled" was in quotes and only one hit when I removed the quotes.

Search: Key Word(s): cancelled, daily, show
Discuss: MTV (and its properties) Is Vile

Really? The only way I can get certain searches to work is to use the quotes.

I don't think it will retroactively subscribe you to those treads, but you could go to Quick Links>My Threads and check all the threads (I can't get the "select all" drop-down to work in Firefox or IE7) to get started.

Yes, but it still doesnt provide an easy way to see which ones were responded to since you last checked. I guess a lot of threads will lose traction much faster than before now. Sad really.
