phpbb site search has been temp disabled
I have turned off searching (for now).
This has some side effects, I spotted. I have also received a few PM's so others are also seeing. These things rely on searching, and until it is back on, will not work.
1. The 'search' link is gone.
2. The 'new posts' link (it is actually gone).
3. The 'active posts' link.
Probably some others.
The 'Forum Google search' link works fine (use the hell out of it, it is googles CPU / database that is hit, not HD's).
I was planning on building a static page for the 'search' link, that simply lists to use the google search link. However, some of these other 'searches' may also be pretty CPU intensive. Yes, I hate having the 'active posts' link gone (that was my mainstay of keeping up to date on what was posted), but if turning off searching for a short while can help us to keep the site up, It is something that has to be done.

As I said in another post: When it comes to computers I am totally stupid.
What you all are talking about must have been nice.
Me? I just scroll thru the subjects until I fine something I want to read.
But then, I don't have a life anyway. LOL!!!

It's really annoying without the "view new posts" button. All other forums I regularly visit have it so I won't get used to it either.

This SHOULD be there. Be sure to refresh the main page.
