Have you tried the built-in search engine on this new forum?ualis123 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 14, 2021 4:04 pm SalamunAlaikum,
It is really hard to navigate this forum and you cannot search the topics as it was so easy to do so in the old forum.
My request is to keep the old forum up just for searching the topics as it really helped to extract the information and discuss it with my family and friends.
Jazak Allah
