Hi everyone, in an effort to fix the error 500, i removed the site search button.

From my understanding, it is what was causing that error.

Please, if you ever get the 500 error again, please notify me.

Thanks

EDIT: i will try to add a google search box in it's place, it can be configured to search the site only.

Allright, the site's search button is now gone and replaced with a Google search at the top, which search ONLY in MAACA urls.

This opens another page with results from Google...

Let's see if this is more stable and let me know if any problems.

OK, apparently, replying to PMs is breaking it as well, at least for PinsOnly.

Is there anyone else having the 500 error when they reply to their pms ?

I will try to fix Dave (hopefully) and everyone having the issue.

Crap. Search was useful. Is this temporary?

How about a spelling correction module?

hehe, how do i spell a**hole again ?   just kidding of course (put all the smilies you might want to here... <--)

Well you can still search using the Google tool i added on top. It will will search through MAACA results only, it might not be up to date to the minute but should have pretty much everything archived.

The issue with this software is that it is flat file based (not MySQL or any databases). So the files keeps growing up and up to a point where the server's memory get used too much while searchign through everything.

I cannot change it without losing stuff, there was a beta MySQL version a while ago but it wasnt working well.

I also decided to leave it this way, in order to keep everything, rather than moving to another script (phpBB). It's a matter of free time and also i think it was too different than the current board and i didnt wanted to lose any members in the process.

Yes moving to another isp would maybe help but at the end of the day, the files will keep growing and hit the sweet spot on the new server where there wont be enough ressources to search either...

Hope it all makes sense (and that i didnt make too many spelling errors

EDIT: and if anything else crashes the site for you, make sure to let me know please.

Clicking on a member's profile and hitting "Find latest posts by this member" in multiple tabs at the same time is a sure-fire way to crash the site.   Try it!

I've heard of short term memory loss but that has to be textbook.
