Until the server migration it was 23 and a half. Now it’s permanently up. I noticed when it moved to Vbuletin 3 that any mention of a doper’s name during one period of up-time would not turn up in a search until after the down-time. Now that there will be no down time, will the search turn up references to a doper’s name right after the posting of the name? ---

Firefox. My IE was hijacked by CoolWebSearch and I’ve yet to get around to fixing it. Might not either… this computer’s a loaner until I get a real one anyway. ---

> [@Vision of Love](#): > > Was that supposed to redirect me to [http://www.yesworld.com](http://www.yesworld.com) ? He got his bits the wrong way round in the code. By sheer luck it worked anyway. So, to answer your question, I don’t think so.
