    Six posts down.

    There is a search function, but due to the current change over to the new servers, its disabled.

    Ok the website rockets along for me speed wise but without having the search function the place just isnt the same. Losing the search function was like losing a limb, any word on when it will be turned back on.

    Yes. When everything else is on and working, last I heard.

    I only miss the search button because it makes moderating significantly more difficult in some aspects.

    No idea why anyone not moderating would miss it all that much, I never use it for any other purpose.

    I use it to check up on threads that I've been interested enough to post in... I know you can subscribe to threads, but it's really more effort than I can be arsed with.
    I'm consistantly being plagued by that feeling of having posted in an interesting thread somewhere and forgetting what (or where) it was.

    I really miss it too, I has this link in my favourites:

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/search.php?showposts=0&do=process&s=&searchuser=myusername

    and it's the best link you can have to boards, it shows everything on that page I need to know.

    Right click and add this to your favourites Donkey, I replaced my name with yours:)

    I normally just use the "My posts" link from the main page.

    Just wait till search returns to use that link and you'll see what I mean;)
