    The worst thing about search being down is that you can't do check what posts have been previously made by low-postcount folk - harder to tell if they're a shill or a one-trick pony (though there are a few high postcount users who are one-trick ponies...)

    We're living in the moment. Like life. (tm)

    Congratulations, though, boards.ie, the only award winning website ever that doesn't have a search function? :p

    In the last few days, the announcement has been turned red and grown in size and is still not visible enough.

    If I don't get the new posts button back soon, there's gonna be trouble.

    And keep in mind Conor, your lot taught me how to fire rifles and I know where the boards office is. I am simply stating these as mere facts, any conjecture or connection you make between them is purely in your own mind.

    I find boards difficult to navigate without the search facility and imagine I am not alone. I wonder what's happened to the number of daily posts since the search facility has not been working? I bet its down considerably.

    Nope, you're not. As soon as myself and Ross can get it back up and running we will. We could turn it on now, but it would make the site quite unstable.

    Depending on a lot of external factors (big news stories for example) we do between 10 and 12 posts per minute on a weekday. Weekends are quieter at about 8-10 posts per minute.

    This week (Mon-Fri), while search has been turned off, we averaged 11 posts per minute which is right in the middle of the normal range.

    Maybe use "Read this or banned"

    Any updates on the problem?

    ...maybe it's just me, but my 0.02.....

    ..the original search was awful. Useless. Terrible. All of the above.

    ..the temp google one is quite good - !! Maybe there's a message there, somewhere...........why re-invent the wheel ?

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    I'm not going to argue with you there. Long term, we have plans for replacing/working around vBulletin's search. It's not really suitable for the volume of data we have.

    It won't be going away. In fact, it has been around for quite a while now.
