Searching these forums

[zbgump]

Hi all... as you can see this is my first post.

Part of the reason for this post is just to see if I can; when ever I try to search these forums I come to an error page. One of the reasons given is : "If you are trying to search, you get this message because search has been temporarily disabled to improve forum speed."

If that is indeed the case, is "search" disabled often? That would be a shame, as these forums are very rich in information and strategies.

First, let me say: Welcome to CFC!

Next, let me point out that issues dealing with the site as a whole (such as "Searching") should be addressed in the Site Feedback forum. As a matter of fact, this subject has come up quite often. The most recent thread about it is here.

The key part of that thread is from the Boss himself (Thunderfall):

We tried enabling it on weekends but this caused the usual "too many MySQL connections errors", so we've stopped doing it now.

We still want to re-enable search in the future... Hopefully our host Telefragged could upgrade the forum server again soon...

Oh, and finally, because this is a current topic in Site Feedback, this thread is closed.
