I've just tested it and it does work for me. Perhaps try a different browser?

Thanks, that was indeed the problem. It doesn't work in Opera, but it does work in Edge.

Yes, see the pic. Follow the green arrow and click that first. On the next page, set the filter, date range, and Sort By.

I just revisited some of my old forgotten pics from many years ago before I was Old and Ugly, back when I was only ugly, hahaha. Actually I had another user name, and for some odd reason I wasn't able to log in no more, so I simply started again with a new one.
But not in the PH forum, because the nr of results exceeded max allowed of 3000

That's what I did. But there is nothing behind 'Filter by'.

I've noticed that the ISG page has been glitchy and very slow lately.

It looks like you are in the right page. Try to refresh it or go back one page and try again.

The search can be very slow as there can be many photos spanning many years.

As an aside, you can split up the max 3000 results by breaking up the years. Last year is 0 to 12 months ago; 2 years ago is months 13 to 24 (not 0 to 24) etc.

Enjoy. G.

Strange. I can see the words 'Filter By', but not the fields Date Range, Forum, and Sort By. So there's nothing that I can apply a filter with.
And I'm logged in, so that's not the problem.

West Coast has a very detailed set of pics below. Note that you need to go to the Photo Gallery TAB (look at the top of the page between What's New and Abbreviations) and not the Photo Gallery Thread. Hopefully this helps. AR.

There is no filter in the Advanced Search, so not to my knowledge. However, there is a brute force way with limitations. Go to the Photo Gallery TAB and filter by date range, forum (eg the Philippines) and sort by User Name. I did an example of all photos posted over the past 2 years to the Philippines forum sorted by user name. To find your posts, had to click through to Page 5. See attached. Only limitation is that the database will return only 3000 hits, so if you go back the maximum 6 years, the database will force you to refine the search. Enjoy, AR.

Good catch AR.

Pics attached. Go's stuff starts on page 4 of said search, and ends on page 5.

Does anyone know how to search for posts with photos? Eg find all goferring's photos that have been posted in the site? Or, even better, goferring's photos with the word "Davao"?

ISG stopped working with my VPN about 6 months ago. I had to attempt different VPN settings, changing protocols from wireguard to OpenVPN, and changing city from what I had used before, and dropped obfuscation. It was an experimentation pain, but its solid now. ISG is in the minority of sites that don't use login encryption (see pic 4); I never browse here unless I'm VPN'd. Browsing unencrypted websites is giving away your username and password to any bad (or State) actor, and also without a VPN you are giving your entire browsing info to your ISP (they, of course, would never sell it -- or turn it over to LE).

I'm glad to see that I have not been the only one who's had a problem using a VPN with this site. Several months ago it had gotten totally out of hand, making coming to the site an annoyance and a real pain. All the freezing up! But I too have noticed that things seem to have gotten much better in recent times. I experimented and made all kinds of adjustments to my VPN as well. I don't know if anything has been happening behind the scenes with the site that may have also helped. Additionally, I made some adjustments to my preferred browser which I seems to have made a difference.

See pic. You can change the language and the currency. Same problem exists when looking at flights on google or kayak (pics 2 and 3).

I do move around a lot, and I just keep in mind a rough currency exchange rate, when browsing for air or hotels, anyway a few $ more or less it's not going to make a difference. For example if the price is in Peso, I just divide by 50 (I know is 60.5) for an easy mental picture, or in Indonesia divide by 15000 instead of 16849 or whatever. Much easier than fighting the regional settings of search engines.

It was kind of a pain because it would report the price in the currency where I set the VPN. Like if I set the VPN to show I am in Bangkok then all the hotel prices would be in Thai Baht and I would need to convert back to USD.

On Agoda you can change the currency in the upper tool bar.

I'm using proton vpn for bankong, but ISG doesn't work with the vpn on.
