Forum Trouble; Search Not Working

Post » Wed Feb 04, 2015 10:10 am

I wanted to post this in the current troubles with the forum thread, but I can't find the thread since the forum search function seems to be broken at the moment. Searching for my content, other members' content, or specific words in forum posts returns no results. Anyone else having similar problems?

Yes, we've noticed and have alerted the admins. But right now they have not been able to get to the source of the issue. It's weird, sometimes search works for me like if I am checking for recent posts. Other times, it's borked.

Additional: Freddo told me it's been going on for quite some time, if I recall correctly.

Yeah, it's been broken over 2 months now, which I find rather annoying. Sure isn't making moderating any easier.

Never been working properly for me, not even once.

This is the first time I've noticed it being this bad, previously I've just had minor glitches such as the My Content screen not updating from time to time.

You're just on the wrong shift Freddo. :P

That's odd. I haven't experienced the problem until today. What I've noticed that is not working is:

1. Searching for one or more words in a forum or topic.

2. Clicking on a "popular tag" on the http://www.gamesas.com/.

3. Clicking on the "My Content" option in the dropdown menu next to my forum ID (top left corner with Chrome).

All three result in "There is no information to show" messages.

What I've noticed that is still working:

1. Going to My Profile and clicking on "Topics" (3rd option below my avatar) displays my recent topics as it should.

2. Going to My Profile and clicking on "Posts" (4th option below my avatar) displays my recent posts as it should.

3. Clicking on "View New Content" on any page in the forums displays the new content as it should. That's actually how I found this topic.

This is the case regardless of what browser I use, so it's most likely a forum bug.

It looks like there's a Forum Gremlin running amok. :tongue:
