Posting in a forum such as the Area51 testing forum (http://area51.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewforum.php?f=7) posts do not count towards your final post count. (this is normal).
What is not normal.. is that when you click on "View Your Posts" or search for all of your posts. The posts in these forums do not show up in results.
Is this a feature? Or an Error? Perhaps it doesn't load them into the search database on purpose because they are insignifigant?

Search indexing can be disabled on a per-forum basis. Perhaps this is what has happened?

That must be it. I wasn't sure if that was a feature in Olympus or not.
I think you should still get a search result of ALL of your posts when you search for your posts. Otherwise you may miss out on a topic that has gotten new replies by pressing "View Your Posts".

I think this is a legitimate bug.. but it could be a setting for all we know.
I think searching for "All posts by a user" should show ALL posts no matter what. Even if searching a particular forum has been disabled..

Olympus allows you to "Disable or enable search indexing" on a board by board basis. I really don't think its a bug, I think they just have search indexing turned off for that board.

We know this... that is what happens.
HOWEVER. There is a bug.. searching for all posts from a user should return all posts, and it doesn't. "View Your Posts" does not show all of your posts.

Ectoman: what you want is silly, it would go against what the admin wanted. If the admin wants that forum to be searchable, he would have specified to allow indexing. To search anyway basically ignores the admin! Anyway, it would be rather costly to search a non indexed area if the admin didn't want it indexed. Not a bug.

This was already fixed in CVS.
David, perhaps you should of read this bug before replying.
