The new site, both the Full Version and Mobile now have a new search facility. Here are some tips on how to use it:

1. To do a basic search of the forum you are currently viewing, simply type the word you are looking for into the search box and press Enter or click the Magnifying Glass. Here we're searching for Bridgestone:
   
2. You can also choose to search Forums, or the Gallery or Members by choosing the appropriate option in the drop down box:
   
3. and here are the results:
   
4. As you can see, there are a lot, so the advanced search is likely to be of a lot more use. Here you have options to search a particular forum or forums, or for posts by a particular member, you can view the results as threads or as posts, and also have various sort options - it's all pretty self explanatory:
   
   
5. This give far fewer results and you'll be more than likely to find what you want, we now have 65 results rather than 838!:
   
6. If you're on the mobile version of the site, you can still search and access your messages etc. If you have a phone with a big enough screen, you can still view the Full Version. Scroll down to the bottom of any page and select "Full Version" (it's in the same place as where it says "Theme" here). You'll also see where you can enter the search menu:
   
7. On pressing Search, you'll get this, which is pretty self explanatory:
   
8. If you want to view Personal Messages, you need to click on the double right arrow button at the top-right hand side of your screen:
   
9. Which will bring up this menu, again pretty self explanatory:
