Disabled because supossedly with it on the forums would but just as slow if not more slow as the old ones.

Umm, if that's true, that fact alone defeats the whole sanity of the server change. Are we supposed to browse through n+1 posts just to find our own older ones? Yeah, right...

Missing one word.

The word is 'temporarily.'

Oops.

Thank goodness for that word.

If you want to find your old ones, go to your profile, and click on subscribed posts.
You are automatically subscribed to any thread you post to. That's what I do.

The search function has been enabled. The link to it is under the NationStates banner.

Wasn't exactly true. You'd still have to find 'em from the forums and post onto them. Then you'd be subscribed onto them. But now this is pretty pointless since the search function is back on, and everything's nice and swell again.

No, subscription is still very handy.

See, now that we can subscribe to threads without posting, there is no longer a need for people to tag threads.

I never understood what tagging a thread meant.

It allowed you to find threads of interest that you weren't directly involved with by using your egosearch.
