Yesterday and today when I click on my name by a post and select ‘Find all posts’ it doesn’t show anything more recent than June 8. I’ve tried other users and it seems to work fine for them, if a bit slowly.

Something kinked up in the database?

Or is it just that I haven’t posted anything worth reading since the 8th? 😃

ETA: Just tried it with this post and got the same result.

Everything’s broken. Seriously. New posts is fucked, User CP is fucked, Search is fucked, the Main Page is fucked. Can we fix it? No, it’s fucked.

What he said. In addition, on several occasions in the past twenty four hours, my usual witty repartee has fallen flat.

Thanks for the confirmation.

If I had had time to read some of the other new threads here I would have seen that there are issues.

Dammit that I wasn’t born rich instead of good looking so I have to work rather than spend all my time in leisurely surfing.

This post should be turned into its own thread and made a sticky.

I did a search on “fucked”. It did not lead me here. That’s fucked up.

The very first thread on the forum says 'BOARD PERFORMANCE PROBLEMS."

But hey, just a minute.

I think the announcement will probably help. Not everyone thinks to check ATMB (and right now it’s frankly a toss-up if you can even GET to ATMB).

Unfortunately, stickies tend to get relegated to the same background job process as banner ads. You can only see ‘Rules for posting in this forum.’ so many times before the eyeballs autocondition to slide right over anything with a sticky flag to get to new posts.
