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

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

Re: Gremlins
Well I see the upgrade hasn't stopped the "You can't use search right now, the server has an overload".
I saw a server with an overload once but she never dropped a thing.

Re: Gremlins
It should work fine now. Someone was abusing our sites and causing some issues. They have been taken care of.

Re: Gremlins
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?

Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice, at which there is simply no way to become THAT ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.
