Search Permanently Disabled?

psece · 12-20-2007, 02:07 PM

I have been trying to do searches for a couple of days now. Is the server overloaded or did I exceed a limit?

Simply overload. The worst times I have found are to be around 12 and after 5pm.

You must come at the wrong times.

When there are over 450 people on the server things start to go to ****.

Search will likely be off more than on until we get a new server. A new server is in the works now...hopefully we'll have one soon.

Ok thanks. I have 3 boys under 6 and no sleep. The only way I can keep up on replys to posts is to search for 'psece' for posts from the last week.

Just wait till mid January. My favourite feature is "New Posts" which will pretty much be disabled once mid January arrives

. Just gotta live with it for now.

Like nsap said, maybe soon all the disabled features due to high load will be back

.

I live in CA and I find that the search function is very spotty during the day but tends to work more often after dinner, when all the east-coasters are in bed.

I think the worst time is around lunch time since a lot of people are taking a break from work. Otherwise I have had pretty good luck with the new posts feature.

I am up early in the morning and that is an excellent time in which to do anything here.
