No more searching ! :( !

Is this happening on anyone else’s computer, or is it just mine? I went to a new page, going to click on new posts and it says “searching has been disable”…strange. I hope it comes back soon :smiley:

it’s probably because the pages were getting slower. I’m disappointed, it’s an easy way to see the newest posts. No use crying over spilled milk:p

yup exactly, it was a nice feature.

It was nice, but I can easily live without it

Glad to hear it only because I thought maybe it was just me (for overdoing it) I wonder if it will be back?

why did they take it away?

Probably took it away because people would just click on new posts too much. I personally never used this feature because I only use 3 or 4 fourms; and most of the time the new posts were like all ivy league or high school life/SAT prep stuff which is of no interest to me.

This is really dumb. The Search function is a necessary feature in a forum like this.

I use all the forums frequently so it was really cool for me. Now, I have to go to each forum and look to see if someone replied. It’s kinda a bummer

We need the searching back, otherwise there will be so many repeated questions and posts that could have easily been searched.

I think you have to go back to each separate forum b/c the new posts feature only shows up to 20 pages worth of new threads. I have never seen it go past 20 pgs.

Unless you’re on CC so much that you would never let it reach 20 :slight_smile:

We need the searching tool back. These forums are almost useless without it. How will we find the information that we need- which is what this website was all about… or so I thought.

Please bring back searching! We all need it, and there will be some very disappointed CC’ers if it is not brought back! :frowning:

I agree… searching is a necessary function if these forums are going to accumulate useful informaiton year-to-year! I bet it’s a temporary thang though…

yea, we need searching. Otherwise this forum becomes sorta useless.

I needed some info which I’m sure I can find by searching, but it’s been disabled…

I do hope this is a temporary traffic-management thing

Count me in as wanting the search function back. I only read certain topics and don’t have time to browse each category. Without a search function many topics will be repeated when the best answer to the question will be in the original thread. Shame…

Quoted for truth.

We briefly disabled searching to keep the forum performance as high as possible under heavy load. We’re doing some server work to improve capacity, so bear with us if the search feature occasionally does a vanishing act.

Game, set, match. I never experienced the slow load time, it was probably due to all the EAers checking the fourms out.

Hey its back! I guess our thread worked :wink:
