Forums down briefly for Maintenance starting at 2012-8-31 0500 EDT

The forums will be unavailable for a (hopefully) brief period of time starting today at 5:00 AM Scratch Time while we rebuild the forum search index.   I wish I could give an estimate of the downtime - but it's been so long since we rebuilt it that we don't really know how long it will take.

It's to fix some problems with the Search feature.

You might notice that we are now posting a link to the Scratchblocks testing area right in the Scratchblocks example area.  That was a suggestion as well  smile

Re: Forums down briefly for Maintenance starting at 2012-8-31 0500 EDT

Yay!  smile  I'm glad that my suggestion was accepted. I look forward to better searches!

(Oh, note: it takes about 3-5 seconds per 1000 posts, so it would probably take between 1 and 2 hours)

Search for posts by a user and take the amount of results.

Unless someone has deleted a post.

You will never find my 3000th post through search.

No it won't, clicking Show all posts works fine, it's searching for specific topics and posts that doesn't work correctly
