How long is the search function going to be disabled? I'm lost without it!

 

Sorry, I don't have an exact answer the question...or even a vague one for that matter. Turning off search is part of an experiment and I do not have the full results yet...

 

Ok, i'll keep checking

 

MAn I sure wish we had our Search back!!!!

 

Without search, It just isn't the same site. I can't even view the newest threads... HELP!!! PLEASE turn it back on. Whine Whine Whine........ And a little cheese.

 

Come on guys. Steve has never done wrong by us, ...till now.

I'M...SURE...STEVE...HAS...A...GOOD...REASON!!!

(uh oh, I think I need a new keyboard)

one of the legs snapped and two keys popped off

just noticed another side effect of 'no search',
problem with the three fingers that type (s,t,e,v)
two seem to be dislocated and I think one is broken

At this point I'm willing to enter into a negotiated settlement:

No Wildcards
Minimum six letter search
Search on only one Forum at a time
Search on date spans not to exceed 6 months
Search available only on odd numbered dates
Search available only to USERIDS that begin with "RAOU"

 

My 2 cents:

Bring back the current threads until all is well. Refreshing the first page every 5 seconds is getting old.

 

What exactly is going wrong with the database?

I'm not sure how a search (read) function would cause problems. Now the write functions, I understand how they could cause problems.

 

For the techies...

Steve, you do this for free??

I'm afraid to hit a button on your site now, adding to your pain.

THOSE DAMN LIGHTNING GUYS!

 

just my 2 cents, but if you want to drop some of those database hits, turn off signatures.

 

Or limit sigs to 5 lines or 255 characters

 

I just counted mine, make that 263 characters.

 

limiting the signatures won't help the database problem. ELIMINATING them will.

 

Glad to see that everything is up and running again!
