Hi, the "View Today's Active Posts" link on the homepage do not give out any results...Threads merged. I just talked to tech and they're saying this should be resolved within another 3-4 hours.

Hope we're back on our feet this week.

Not to flog a dead horse but this hasn't worked for me either basically since the crash - 4-6 days now. Or perhaps it started after the site shutdown and said they were reindexing the database or somesuch so at least 3 or 4 days minimum I believe.

Pretty annoying as that's the single link on the site I use the most.

Yes this is something that should be fixed.

Same here. It could be one of the major reasons the sites looks less visited since the crash.

It should be priority #1 :)

Second most annoing: the lack of a decent backup

Third most annoing: They changed the time u have to wait to post ..

"This forum requires that you wait 90 seconds between posts."

"This forum requires that you wait 90 seconds between posts."This doesn't even need to take 5 minutes to accomplish... :rolleyes:

Weird thing is it sometimes works and a few hours later no more.

Yeah, I've noticed that as well... I read in another thread that they were going to try to have it back up yesterday or something, so maybe they're working a few kinks out, I dunno.

The absence of it makes this forum too time consuming to be of any practical use.

Not now though. I really cannot spare the time to trawl through all the forums on the off chance that I might find a thread I'm interested in. So I'm off for now and might try again later.

So, any news on fixing the 'Todays posts' and 'New Posts' searches yet?

As SWR said: We have to go off line to fix "New Posts". We're making careful arrangements before we do that.

We're not going to go down and fix this completely until the weekend.And we all just need to be patient. Providing a fix needs to be meticulously planned in view the many considerations and not just a knee-jerk reaction to user pressure. It will be fixed, be certain of that, and imminently.;)

It's hasn't been fixed yet. WHT is taking a maintenance window this weekend to fix it I believe.

Did it occur to you that perhaps Mods are "merging" similar threads together? Hence, we'll probably see more of these "new" reports added to "this" thread.

There is no point in us arguing amongst ourselves about an issue that we all know exists and is already announced as something that is scheduled to be fixed in a planned and sensible manner this very weekend.

Let's all have a great weekend and just chill out in the meantime. The world as we know it is not coming to an end. ;)

I had opened a ticket with WHT to rectify this issue few days ago. Reason was, this is the only link i use to keep tab of active threads :D

It's working fine now :)
