Sorry about the problems folks. The search tables of the mysql database became corrupted somehow. I had to empty the "word" and "searchindex" tables and rebuild them and that seems to have cleared things up.

I just realized it today after Marc brought it to my attention via e-mail... I am out of town on vacation (though I have my laptop) on a slow connection so I haven't visited TWF but just once a day.

Anyway, sorry again. If you notice any more problems, let me know. I'm going to rebuild the forum posts and counters right now so that everything is correct.

P.S.: There was also a period of time on Friday that the forums were completely down because of a router hardware issue at the NOC.

Is this why there haven't been many post over the last couple of days? I guess it's Easter too. Okay..I don't know what's up but the forums are telling me (my cookie rather) that there haven't been any post since the 12th. I only came in here to ask where everyone was and then I saw this thread. It also says this thread has 0 replies...hmm..

Ravi

I am also having the same problems. I think Chad is aware of the problem as he did some tests and is working on it.
