Just tried it again now, and same again - it allows me to type a word or two, then freezes.
Perhaps you need to do the old 'hold the home and shut down button at the same time for 19/15 seconds' thing, till the big white Apple come up and it sort of reboots itself, I hVe to do that sometimes when I take the ear phone out.

Did some tidying up on tapatalk which might have improved things a bit. Also there is an upgrade available so will have a look at that this weekend as it may need a few minutes downtime to install.

They've got me on first name terms. I think they thought they smelt money, I haven't told them yet it's Libor credit notes.

The whole site is much much faster since moving host. 'View my posts' now works in under 2 minutes. Good work Mark.

All we need now is the search feature put back.

Looking at the search feature but don't want putting it back to then end up crashing the forum or slowing things down again.

Just type the work cunt into the search feature.

If nothing comes up you know it's still fucked. Either that or it has crashed with some type of search result overload.

We/I need the search function back fully, Mark.

Full word search function, not just username.

I thought the slowdown was during to thread being over 100 pages long.
Any thoughts on what's happening to the World Cup section?

Doing a test rebuild of the search index at the moment. If it goes ok I might try it on the main forum tonight.
The WC section is tucked away now and I'll back it up for a restore in case we are still around in 2018. ;)
I need to do a tidy up of 100+ page threads as I can see that a few have built up recently.
Also got a test install of the latest tapatalk upgrade on the test server. If that doesn't creak then I will get it installed on the main forum.

I've just typed 'cunt' in and apparently it's too common a word on here to even bother listing. :lol:

We can probably fix that, give it another whirl.

EDIT: but only after the index is recreated - I'll set that to run overnight.

A the moment the main index is just short of 6 million words posted available to the search, I'd expect it to blast through that barrier with ease. 8)
And it contains just over 165,000 individual "words".
