anyone else having trouble accessign the search?
so i've basically been unable to use the search at all for at least the last month. i keep getting "Sorry but you cannot use search at this time. The server has high load. Please try again later."
even at 2 in the morning when the only users are me and four bots. (Ahrefs [Bot], Bing [Bot], Google [Bot], Semrush [Bot])
is the forum located on server hardware for some particularly active other forum, or is something up?

Yup, been going on for quite a while. It's annoying, but when it happens (which is most of the time), I shrug it off and manually go to each section to check for updates. For searching a specific topic, I just use Google to search the forum site which gives pretty decent results usually. I don't think this had anything to do with the board update, as it was happening to me before that. I'm just happy to have the forum up and running Not a fan of the madness that is Reddit etc.

Thanks. It works now. I actually think it is better than the search function on the previous version of the Forums.

Re: anyone else having trouble accessign the search?
Same. How can I fix it?
Re: anyone else having trouble accessign the search?
Ugh, that search issue sounds frustrating! Here's a reply combining a few possibilities:
Hey there, yeah that search error message is definitely annoying. I've been getting it too, even at odd hours.
There are a couple of things it could be:
Forum Software Glitch: Maybe the forum software itself is having some bugs with the search function. Happens!
Server Overload: Less likely at 2 AM, but maybe the server hosting this forum is overloaded with other processes, impacting search functionality.
Here's what you can do:
Report the Issue: Let the forum admins know what's happening. They might not be aware of the problem.
Search Workarounds: Try browsing by categories or using specific keywords in thread titles to find what you need.
Hopefully they get this search issue fixed soon!
