search fixed yet?

yeah that annoys the **** out of me. when a thread is closed then 5 mods continue talking in it leaving little stupid comments knowing the posters cant reply. ugh
i bet if Tukiluka was a mod, the search engine would be fixed by now. but no, you have to make people like Elijya into mods. haha

 

For the sake of being fair, heres the last post.

 

Good job closing Muscles thread though. Now you just need to work on closing Muscles.

 

it isnt about mods posting in closed threads, its about them closing threads without answering the question.

 

I got that, just that Drakon left a question for Calvin and I was giving him the opportunity to answer it.

 

Well, I have no idea what Drakon's story is, so I don't really have an answer.

 

Wow, you guys are REALLY motivating, just makes me want to jump and fix the search right now. Having said that, I'm going to attempt it again, if you had READ the closed thread you would see that this is a server intensive process and doesn't always work. Last time it looked like it was going to take 48 hours and then it quit not even a few hours into it. Show some respect, thanks, you're on here for free remember?

 

and our coming here pays the bills, remember?
You know we love you, Mirko

I think the consensus was that one weekend without the Hype would be bearable if it meant the search function would be fixed.

Mods use the search function as a tool in doing their job. I'm sure most of them would appreciate search fixed, too.




P.S. Free Tukiluka

 

Mike!

 

People aren't on here for free. They pay with yer annoying pop up ads and zillion other intrusive things. I swear, yer site is so unconcerned with the people that traffic it. You have a very, very arrogant attitude. Yes, it's nice that you started this, but don't act like yer doing anyone but you any favors.

And yes, Buddy Lee still hates you.

 

About 1/3 of the way through and it's still going. Keep your fingers crossed.

 

I agree, this should have been done sooner, just work gets in the way.

 

I've been doing this for nearly 8 years, and I think I've been accomodating about 99% of the time. A lot of people will be able to back me up on that. It's hard not to get frustrated sometimes when people want you to do things left and right.

And about the popus and other intrusive things, make sure you get a popup blocker like Google toolbar, you shouldn't be seeing that stuff anymore.

And if I hear a "get Firefox" one more time!!

 

Had to restart it once again, it stopped last night.

 

Did you think of closing the boards whilst re-indexing? I'd think the traffic will cause problems and basically make it restart over and over... no?

 

No, I don't think it's the traffic. I'm going to try a few more times before resorting to that.

 

Thanks for trying to get the search function fixed (and for keeping us informed), Mirko. I know that when the search function goes FUBAR on a php board system like that it's a major PITA to repair it.

I like pitas.


Anyway, thanks for all the work youre putting in.

 

PITA = Pain In The Ass, but if you like 'em more power to ya.

If you're tryin to reindex right at this moment, I have a feeling it still won't work, Mirko. Right now, there are 1,191 users on the board, counting guests (living and bots). So that means the database is trying to reindex a 400-meg search index while servicing 1,191 users (not exactly at once, of course :\).

But now I think it is possible to complete the indexing without closing the board. You'll have to take note of which post number the reindexing stopped at last and the next time you start it, have it start at that post. You could give that a shot if that isn't what you're already doing, Mirk.

 

yeah

 

I could have sworn I came in here last night and saw this thread closed by Dew... I thought it was a new one (which would be the third) with this one.

 

It was reopened.
