Title: The "I'm an idiot" thread.
Post by: Tinari on October 07, 2009, 05:04:20 AM
Ok.  Where is the SEARCH feature on this forum?  I couldn't find it with Ctrl+F guiding me and the Help button at the top between Home and Profile told me how to USE search, but not where any search button was.

... I know I'm blind but christ, I've been trying to find the search button for literally ten minutes now to no avail so I could find answers to stupid questions without having to ask them. :|

IIRC, it was removed in the last forum because it was taking up too much bandwidth...or server space...or RAM...or something.

And don't be shy to ask stupid questions. We're all stupid. <3

Hey hey, being called an idiot is a compliment around these parts </idiot princess>

But yeah, no Search feature. Not a big deal, really.

O_o There isn't a search button there for me... It's only available to certain usergroups?

STOP HELEPOLIS

Your forum position has given you extra powers not available to mere mortals.

Oh, really?  Hmmmm =|

Maybe it is enabled for only people with 'this many' posts. Don't know.

No search for me either ???

It'd be hilarious if my title randomly gave me the ability to search titles. :V Why does Helepolis' give him that anyway? Isn't all he have to do post front page news when he's ordered to?

The search thingy never found anything anyways.

It's about as useful as MarisaB in UFO.

Marisa B can at least do something when you use it the right way. The search function was just FUCK.

Ok.  Where is the SEARCH feature on this forum?
I believe it might be broken for the time being, and thus disabled (at least for most people).

Search was broken in the last table break.  I cannot rebuild the search index right now so it's disabled for everyone except staff.

And only certain parts of staff at that.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't work anyway, even for us.

Post by: helvetica on October 08, 2009, 01:33:15 AM
Yeah I'm fairly sure it doesn't work for anyone.  It probably hasn't been working for a while now as I've gotten sporatic bug reports over it.

Well, I did have a question but I wanted to search it...  but I forgot it by now. :|

Except you don't have search rights so there's no way you're testing it now.

Maybe it has to do with unfunny status?

Nah more like SMF's permission set is really weird and doesn't apply all the time.

Anyways search is out, don't know when it'll be back because I have not been able to build a search index yet.
