Default Forum upgrades.

Is it my DSL line and computer or have the forum upgrades brought this site to its knees?

I've been having a lot of problems today with pages loading. I keep getting "can't find server" messages. When I click back a page and click the thread or whatever again it loads right up. I thought it was something on my end. Anyone else having issues today?

We're all having the same issues. I'm sure it's just our local internet connections.
Don't question too much or the mods will lock us down!

After the upgrade the pages open mach slower then before,
There is a bug, when I make a search and open a thread I can't go back with the back button of the explorer, I get: The page cannot be displayed.
How we pass those problems to the administrator?Avner

In addition to this. The search function is definitely screwed up. when you go to the advanced search feature, you find the thread or post youre interested in reading, click on it and you get....NO SPECIFIC POST, INVALID LINK...etc ...IF YOU FOLLOWED A VALID LINK, NOTIFY THE ADMINISTRATOR. I notified the administrator twice about this. There is now a sticky that is telling us in a subtle way to stop sending messages,(a distraction to those working on the problems) they are aware of it. I just noticed this sticky today, but it does not provide an explanation, these bugs are indeed related to the "upgrade" to the forum software. It can be pretty frustrating when you cannot find a thread/post in the archives when you need it. Hope they fix this problem very soon.

There is a thread in OT that I believe you can post up any issues.
