I'm not sure if this has been discovered already, but it's the entire forum search.php that seems to be down. Any forum search returns 0 results.

Isn't working for either

Oddly, I went into the "view your posts" section, and I saw that all of my posts are gone.

I can provide a picture if needed.

Me neither. Still, all we can do is wait.

I was just adding more relevant information that it's not strictly the "view forum posts" but all forum search functionality across the site that's broken. I'll stop trying to provide new information if that is desired.

That thread's broken too, at least for me.

That thread got merged into this one. I don’t know if that has any actual bearing on the current issue.

Also, I’m not a mod, but I’d imagine it’d help everyone involved to read the prior pages before submitting a post. It cuts down on redundant information and highlights new information.
The current observations as of posting are:

• All forumside searches are broken.
• Most people are finding this out via searching their posts.
• It is a sitewide problem, not localized to any user.
• The mods are doing everything they can about this, which is nothing. This is requires an admin solution.
• Mods have advised against “me too” posting, but new information is welcome.

Just dropping by to say I am experiencing this as well.

Any news on when the issue may be fixed?

No. We are waiting on the admins to find a solution. If you have any new information on the situation post them here. Otherwise don't post redundant information here.

Would it be "fascinating" or would it be "interesting?"

He would say that it is a Problem.

But... he's dead Jim.

Are any admins even online?

For those having issues with following topics during this period - bookmarks are working and can be used to track topics.

I have experienced this same issue. When I try to view my posts, it says there is nothing there.

Have some coffee and biscuits while waiting though. I know I am.

Guys, they know. ^^^^^^^^^^^
Everyone is experiencing it. Just hang tight, they'll deal with it.

I'm on it. Should be fixed shortly.

Cheers Violet.

so it appears that I'm not the only this is happening to as I was trying to check if any responded to a post I made but it says I haven't posted anything at all

All good.

Should be working now. The search service managed to get itself corrupted during the shutdown, apparently.

Yes it's working on my end at least. Cheers again.

Thanks, Violet. It's working better than Enron ever did.

Thanks Violet. Here is a gift for my appreciation for your hardwork on the site over the years.

Thanks, [v]
