I think search is disabled or just not working the way it will as they continue to work through the archiving issues. Still lots going on behind the scenes.

Please be advised.

Shouldn't that be "adviced?"

White corner >>>>>>>>> white dot >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> blue star

AND GET OFFA MY LAWN!

Black Dot was the best there ever was

Pretty sure there was a white box next to one of my threads.

 

[jon_mx]

The pages now start with the secure https: instead of http:

That's because people were posting very private information in the Confessions thread, so we wanted to make sure it was all secure.

what do i do with the confessions I've received since the thread was killed? are they lost to the void forever?

Consider it a programming error and start a new thread.

But why can't all of the features and content be exactly the way that every single person wants them?! Right now! For free!

Aaron, I think everyone is missing the most important thing here so I just want to make sure.....

.... I'm still a lifetime member, right?

Yeah, but some of us are eternal members.

I think the search is working fine. I suspect JB did a drive-by purge of all the good threads.

We lost a lot of innocent threads in the last purge.

 

[flapgreen]

Just as I thought. I went back to look at the past threads I've started and it only goes back to last year.

Now imagine it was black.

The Purge 3: FFA

Yeah, but some of us are eternal members.

And even more have external members.

Hi I'm new here. Looks like we changed to a blue star for threads posted in, and the search function is broken.

Awesome upgrade all around.

My only complaint so far is I have lost the ability to access the FFA from work now. Something is setting off McAfee with an error like "similar forum name" error.

It sort of sucks--I may have to actually work.

Is this what's going on behind the scenes?

Something I just noticed: before the upgrade, the URLs just contained numbers and didn't have any identifying information about the thread. They do now. I used to not care about checking out possibly questionable threads while at work, as long as I didn't click any embedded links, but now it's a different story...I have "seven foot dong" showing up in my web traffic again now. No good, FBG.

Been on this site for 4+ years now...don't really post much, but read through threads daily to pass the time at work. Gotta echo the sediment from the crowd...this upgrade definitely sucks. When did we begin having North Korea-like web security on this board, where all the good threads are the deleted or unsearchable?

You should post more. Start by using S####horpe United in one post every day and work your way up from there.

Didn't have a username setup for the first year or so, as I only came here at first for Shark Pool info here and there. Maybe not exactly 4 years, my math isn't the best today.

Sorry, I didn't realize there was a picture of me online now.

All the upgrades have sucked

Regarding all of the search function complaints: it's a pain in the ###, but if you REALLY want to find a certain thread, go to Google, type in the name of the thread + "footballguys". It will show up there, then you can bump/post in the thread. Sucks, but better than not finding it.

More specifically, if you want to search for bacon, type:

site:forums.footballguys.com baconThis is easy if your browser is set to do a Google search whenever you enter a non-URL in the address bar. You're already at forums.footballguys.com. So just go up to your address bar, add "site:" to the very beginning, then delete everything after ".com" and add your search term.

 

[IC FBGCav]

If you are looking for topics to purge, you can delete everyone I ever started. TIA.

 

[TheAristocrat]

All the major upgrades suck initially. Then the taxed system resolves itself, the mods do the additional work, and we're all back to yelling at each other and looking at yoga pants.

Still not as easy as typing "bacon" in the Search box. Just sayin. It's 2015.

The search is down temporarily, guys. The board upgrade is still in progress.

Who are the "Everyone" you've started and are they aware you are trying to bump them off??

If we fail to do it correctly do we get a syntax error?

I've seen USDOT projects get done quicker than this.

Soon the Purge will leave us with about an hours worth of Archiving.

But seriously, I'm sure the guys behind the scenes are working hard on this. Surely nobody wants this over with more than them. Thanks guys.
