Were you trying to use the "strike through" feature? That's what usually causes it.

Just so everyone knows, it appears the "strike through" feature works properly again now. The Forums upgrade fixed that bug.

Well I see the upgrade hasn't stopped the "You can't use search right now, the server has an overload". :-X

I saw a server with an overload once but she never dropped a thing. :biggrin:

Any time "search" gave a "not right now" type of message, I've just used the back button and tried again and it worked. May have just been lucky?
