Does anyone know the current status of the TLF search engines?
I have been trying both to find the best place to post some followup items and I get no useful results at all. (e.g. The Nicola Bulley story) I am having to search manually.
TIA

The thread has maybe been deleted -- I couldn't find it either. What else are you looking for? Other searches work for me.

Ah. That could be so. Thanks.

This seems likely. A Google search of TLF for "Bulley" returns only this thread (for me anyway).

It was indeed. It was reported on Friday and subsequently deleted. C.

Really weird. Has been on TLF since the original story in January this year - about 11 months - and was reported and deleted (Why?) on the Friday, four days before a conclusion to the story.
Oh well! That's TLF.

Basically the reporter implied that the family wanted privacy rather than the story being discussed on social media. The moderator that closed the report didn't specify a reason for the deletion but as the whole thread was deleted I guess he agreed.
