Search Problem Update-IT'S WORKING
 

Admin,

Please give us an update on fixing the search function.

RE: Search Problem Update
 

I do not have an update at this time. I've confirmed that the tech guys are working on it and that's the best I can do right now.

Take Care,
Terry

Which problem are you still having?

The search function is not working at all. Big Admin is aware of it.

Try this until the Search function is fixed.

Google the following (in RED) replacing search term with your own. It works fine.

"search term" site:hdforums.com

Reksul replied to my post about the same search problem and gave me this. Thanks Reksul!

Best Regards,

Is the problem technical?

Or, is the problem money?

I helped to manage a small commercial website once.

The website started to grow.

Suddenly, the Internet Service Provider (ISP) wanted more money to host the site.

A lot more money.

We promptly iqnored their request.

Then, they got us.

They put a limit on our bandwidth.

First, we limited each user on the number of pictures they could download.

That helped, but did not solve the problem during heavy usage times.

Then, we had to disable the search function.

That solved the problem.

We continued for almost a year, but the users didn't like that at all.

We started to see a significant decline in the number of users.

The bottom line is; we had to pay the ISP andincrease our ad rates.

Technical problems are usually pretty easy to solve with commercialsoftware.

So, Terry, is it money or technical?

I certainly don't enjoy the site as much without the search function.

Sorry, I meant to respond to Terry1955.

Thanks in advance for the info.

I just heard that the tech guys have it figured out. I'm not sure how long it will take to fix it but it should be soon. We aren't having money problems and we aren't gonna limit the bandwidth here. Keep on posting those pictures. That's what makes this place so cool.

Money problem? - with over 50k users not bloody likely, more like a cash cow I'd bet!:D

Don't be so quick to jump to conclusions celt, Terry didn't seem to take it the wrong way.

There is a big difference between having the money and wanting to part with it.

I was just asking if it was a bandwidth=moneyissue or a technical problem.

Thanks for the update Terry.

And, I agree, the pictures are great and this is the best Harley resource there is on the net.
