HI Chinaski,
nah your not dumb, what you said is correct, as more peeps upload stuff, the older posts move to a higher page number,
I tried a search on global for NIKA, but it came up with a different gal, I suspect what happens is this, there must be a point (ie page number) that the new pics go up to, and after they drop out the top, they are then available to SEARCH via the internal search engine in global,
so give it a few days and hopefully she will appear when you search NIKA..
I would have a guess that shes about page 140 or so now...........
sounds like global is a very busy place.....
