"searching is disabled" message...

... when you try to access the list of posts by a specific user. is this temporary or permanent? i frequently use this feature to access posts by creators, straight from the userlist, to access their posts in all of the haphazard and endless threads that specific book discussions are confined to. a valuable resource of this site, for me anyway, and i was wondering if it'll be re-enabled or fixed soon.


thanks.

Honestly, I have no idea. I hope it'll be back soon...maybe it already is, I haven't checked today...but unfortunately, it's not something that even the admins can fix. I think that's up to the web host people.

THIS IS KILLING ME!

Ok, I'm just really lazy and don't feel like searching out all my regular threads. I hope it gets fixed soon. Keep up the great work n' all. :)

We had to disable the search feature due to the site being targeted by a Denial of Service attack. Looks like the worst is over now, though, so searching has been reenabled.

Yay! Thanks, Eric! :dance:

Will you be putting flood control (or something similar) on to make sure that it's not targeted again?
