[Plexus]

Yea, this is great and all, but I don't like being in the future...

I am not sure if you are joking or serious, but this is a reference to Dell Computer Corp and the modem headaches I went through including getting the wrong replacement part shipped the first time.

That was fairly painless.Definitely noticing a difference

I don't care what time it is

I changed the forum time zone offset to GMT +7 (Bankok, Hanoi, Jakarta) from GMT -6 (Central Time). Now the time is correct.

Not bad for a temporary solution.

Kinda off-topic, but when is the completed VB 3.0 suppost to be released?

 

[napoleon526]

Yay, now the time is almost exactly correct.

I assumed thats what you meant but I wanted to make sure

Are you guys sure you upgraded it???? I still get the server busy message for the second time today. And I do not feel any difference.

 

[Thunderfall]

It's upgraded... no doubt about that. Maybe some of the server settings just need to be tweaked to optimize the performance...

Edit: I am working with Telefragged to resolve the server problems. In the mean time, I have re-enabled the forum's server load management feature so you may see server busy signal again when the server load becomes high.

Hurray! And the search is re-enabled! Hurray again!

Yep, and the * wildcard feature has been re-enabled! I can now finally see it's true power! (I don't think it's ever been enabled while I've been here.)

And now the new server will die under the load of 50 people searching for "*" in all forums...


If the server can handle the load the wildcard searching is great!

Too bad you can't do that; when I tried, it gave me this infamous vBulletin message: "The search term you specified (*) is under the minimum word length (4) and therefore will not be found. Please make this term longer. If this term contains a wildcard, please make this term more specific."

Just think what it would be like if you could do it: "Showing results 1-25 out of 1,026,991"

Edit: I tried searching for *is*, but it gave me a "The page cannot be displayed" page.

Yes indeed. Using it I am now 99% sure that I don't need to worry about my Civ3 resistance testing having been done before.

vBulletin Message
The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later.



My hopes are shattered.

 

[Civrules]

So far I got it about four times.

 

[anarres]

Politely ask WillJ to stop searching for "****"

 

[Civrules]

Yes! He is messing up the server!!!
lol!

 

[Gainy]

Well at the time, i too was searching for "****" So i can't really complain.

Anyhoo, WillJ , could you please refrain from searching through these bonny forums for "****"?

 

[anarres]

Guys, it is a sign of respect not to trash another person's server.

Deliberately putting it under strain will get the search wildcards removed - please show restraint!

 

[Civrules]

I just got it again. It seems to be worse than before but probably because some people are searching for “*****” not to mention any usernames...
