Chaps,

There are some problems with the Advanced Search operations. 

i) When the desired archives were retrieved and displayed, the page indicated 42 or 60 threads. I examined the first page of these, then hit the 'next' button, only to find that the next page was blank ie. the remainder of the threads were not displayed.This happened twice on two different searches.

ii) When you have chosen and finished reading an archived thread, and wish to go back to the advanced search page with the retrieved threads, you can not. You are taken back to the active daily functioning forum.

This means that I then have to go back to the archives and repeat the process. And each time I have to do this after reading each and every chosen archived thread.

This is an appalling waste of time, and shows a serious miscalculation in your conceptual work, or incorrect coding or both. You still have need of work to do in this area.
