    yeah.

    Here is what I had to do. make a bump post. If that doesn't work, Switch thread display to "threaded mode"
    find the bump post, then try editing it, or deleting it, and submitting. That seems to reset the thread.

    someone is abusing our search engine with some sort of hack or script, which bogs down the database server and that seems to be what is causing the errors. Leonhard is investigating it.

      So are we ever going to ever fix the Search function because it is absolutely, totally, and utterly useless.

      I have not been able to find ANYTHING using it.

      I mentioned the problem in another thread:

      The topic came up again this morning in a thread and I spent nearly two hours vainly searching for something I posted a couple of times in Tweb's as well as Google's search engines. I put in key words that should have led to hits but not one did. Finally I switched over To Bing and found what I wanted in a couple of minutes.


      I put in words that before the switch would lead me right to it, like "Hodgkinson," "Kustoff" and "Ayyadurai" -- which always led me right to the post. Now? According to tweb, those words/names were never used.

      The same thing happened again last night but I just gave up in frustration.

      Today I was going to post some pix in the Meanwhile in Texas thread. Even after putting "Texas" in the search and clicking titles only, guess what thread doesn't exist according to the search engine

      Bluntly we might as well disable and remove the $#^@%# thing if this is what it is going to be like.

      Well, I guess I'll start sifting through forums again trying to find a thread that the search function should have linked to.

      I'm always still in trouble again

        Just tried to find my post on the types of "fact checking" used on Trump including the WaPo calling his obvious exaggeration that they had enough hamburgers that if stacked they would be a "mile" high a "lie."

        I put "hamburger" in the search (which is how I found it previously) and of course the search engine failed yet again.

        Turn the damn thing off rather than let people think they can use it for anything

                      Make a post then try to edit it right away in this thread and let me know what happens.

                          Ok, that worked.

                          In the thread where it didn't work, the attempted edit was roughly 30 minutes later. I don't think it was more than that. I made the original post, got to the end of the thread, tried to edit the post and was denied.

                          ETA: I notice in the above post, it does not even note that I edited it.

                            If you edit within a very short time, it won't add the "edited by" bit at the end.

                            I'm thinking you might have clicked edit within the allowed time, but by the time you were done and clicked "save", the time to edit had expired.
                            Curiosity never hurt anyone. It was stupidity that killed the cat.

                              That must have been it -- soon enough that the Edit button was still present, but by the time I tried to post the revisions, not possible to Save them.

                              So what is the "window," thirty minutes?

                                Probably. I think in the past it has been as long as 45 minutes. Sparko will have to confirm what it's currently set to.
