Please

I've done my best W.G. Grace impression, and Search is still not working.

In all seriousness, (or as much as we can muster) this is an ongoing issue, and you should probably look at search working as a blessing, rather than a given.

Either time has blurred my memory or I'm just imagining things but didn't search work, mostly, in 05/06?

Anyhoo, googling seems to work on the archives so that'll do for the moment.

Search should be temporarily fixed for now.

As for the site going in and out ... It looks like the network is struggling this morning. We've got our team working on it.

Why are you so concerned about banned users?

How about looking at the technical aspect and not the content. The forum isn't technically sound, and that's the issue, not what threads people choose to subscribe to.

I need to know when my puppet spamming account gets deleted so I can get another.

to.

and to Ziemas point, it may indicate a deeper problem that may be affecting other threads as well. But it could be a bug in the software that BF can't do anything about.

Seeing as this is Bike Forums, if you'd really like to get violent with search you could use a bike stand...

not seeing that working even METAPHYSICALLY...oh well.

Some threads show an extra (or inaccessible) page.
.
The naviagation tool at the top and bottom of a thread page will show "3 4 5 >" when there is no page 5.

Maybe there's a secret door in the page and then you get to collect all the stars and coins

PS What is your browser and version?

Okay, it's MY turn. I have a friend request yet no clicking I offer allows me to accept or decline. I KNOW it's trying to but it DOESN'T. This has happened before and I use the blanket line of everybody that honors this site and our purpose is my friend.

unread post bold dissappears

Running Firefox on Ubuntu and with multiple forums open (tabbed browsing) if I mark one forum as read using Forum Tools, none of the others show bolds either though they have new unread posts. Also I just replied to a poll on the Communting forum and when I clicked back to Commuting by the drill down link at the top of the page all the unread bolds had dissappeared.

I edited my signature last night, and the edits showed on both new and old posts

This morning, the signature has reverted to the previous signature on both old and new posts, even though the edit signature text shows the new signature as does the preview of the new signature.

I have deleted the signature completely, and then retyped it, but it still won't show.

Here is the supposed new signature, copied directly from the text in the "edit signature" box. You can see the old signature below. I have done ^F5 several times - doesn't help. IE 7.0

Any suggestions?
