I went to look for a thread last night (this one), and couldn’t find it. So I went to Google to do a quick search. Nothing. Odd. I PMed Ellen Cherry, who forwarded me a link to the thread today. I do a google search now, and it appears with no problem.
The only thing I can think of is that Google’s indexing has slowed down. Used to be that new threads would appear in search results pretty quickly.
