The quick links are gone too. No more new posts link, which kinda sucks. How long till the new server is up, since I can't search for the thread!!!

:poke:

this is the new server :bash:


some of the problems with the site before the upgrade were due to the search feature..

vBulletin's "stock" search capabilities suck for larger boards, and with 5.5 million posts we're pretty large.

There are a few modifications I need to add, to try and improve the search load, once that's done the search will be enabled.

So, uh....where'd the search function go?

There used to be a search button at the top of the forums page. I can't imagine why anyone would not want search functionality, is it gone by mistake?

Hahaha... this is like... the third thread I've seen on this. And no one can really get mad, because there's no search button, so you can't search for threads about the search button! haha. It's all kind of funny.

I've read taht they took it off to save the server...

You don't have to search to see the other 3+ threads on the main page. They removed it for the swap, but they're working on getting it back up.

He can't... he can't search for the search feature.... that's because there is no search feature.

You could search with your eyes and see the 9 other threads on the front page about it.
