A couple of things.

[Samantha]

Firstly, I believe the search function has been 'fixed' sort of? Unfortunately it's only gathering posts made recently (as in in the last 24 hours) or 9+ years ago.

Secondly, where's Post Areas gone? I really need that feature back for Content purposes and without it I don't think I can do it :(.

[Richie]

All sorted, you don't need to search for me anymore, just click my name and look at my posts that way @Samanfa (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=68263); xx

I was trying to use the search function there a few minutes ago to look for an old user, was absolute dog poo, I searched 'happy birthday' and an announcement about falling furni came up, the ****.

Its been gone since they've switched on Avenger.

[Chris]

Okay I've been told that post areas is gone permanently as we have changed the search system. That explains why search is also broken.

[Inseriousity.]

what content role requires you to use it :D

[Alkaz]

what content role requires you to use it :D
Probably individual user pages, I know some staff have post areas listed... on the wiki that is.

[Samantha]

On some of the Habbox God pages we included post areas when it was only given for 20,000 posts. I know Jesus' needed updating, but I'm not sure about the others.

[Inseriousity.]

oh I did think the wiki would be obvious place but I'd never seen it. The habbox gods thing makes sense though. dont think ive looked at any of those.

[Chippiewill]

If matt sends me a copy of staff-posts.php I can bash together a new version of post areas.

[-Nick]

Content roles use it actively - Also it's in great interest to see where people post the most!

[FlyingJesus]

What's been changed with the search function then? Might have just missed it but haven't seen anything explaining the change so just curious

Also when are we getting negative rep indicators on posts 4god

And thats a feature you'll never see.

Top leader

And why not? There should at least be deductions from positive numbers displayed since currently it shows crappy and abusive posts as being popular and respected which is far more of a negative display than showing what's unpopular

I can't help it if I'm not told the specific details of something technical. Either Matt or Tom might answer you.

Well I'm not going to go into it here right now. It's been discussed countless times in the past so if you go back and search then you'll probably find the answer you're looking for.

[scottish]

can't cause search doesn't work

[Chris]

Well then he'll have to be patient until it's fixed.

[FlyingJesus]

You can help it if you can't even make your staff pass you a note when they make major changes to the site you're running

The only response in the past has been "BUT IT'S SO NEGATIVE!!!!", you're just passing off the question because you can't be bothered as with most things at the moment it appears. Telling people to be patient all the time while doing nothing isn't a response

Neither Matt or Tom are my staff so I can't force them to do anything. They work above me on the technical things which don't generally make their way to me unless I ask after finding out the issue. I'll also have you know that I sent a message to Tom with a link to this thread as soon as I read this thread. There is nothing more I can do than that right now. I'm sorry if you disagree, but this isn't something that can be blamed on me.

Secondly, I'm not going into it here because this thread isn't for that discussion. If you want to go and discuss it and drag it all up again then there is nothing stopping you from making a thread to discuss it in feedback.

We're no longer using the Sphinx search plugin because digitalpoint jacked up the renewal price and no one wants to pay for it.

[FlyingJesus]

Ah right so just a switch to a different provider basically, are there functional changes or just waiting for it to rebuild and then business as usual?

Just the standard vbulletin search so yeah once it's rebuilt business as normal.

[Samantha]

Is it being sorted now as new posts don't work?

You will notice errors with the search over the next couple of hours (maybe days) and also a couple of database errors while using this function. We are fully aware of this and we are currently rebuilding the search database.

Updates will be posted in this thread.

Yep

[scottish]

forgot new posts is part of search, god damn it ghana.

I thought you moved from the official vb system as it's ****?

[Chippiewill]

I thought you moved from the official vb system as it's ****?

It is, but $150 p/a is a bit steep for a search plugin.

[scottish]

mm, also why are you not a staff member if you basically do everything server side? :S

[FlyingJesus]

Because then he'd have to change his name to :Jin: to match his habbo

[Chippiewill]

Because I do nothing server side.

He doesn't touch the server. It's Recursion; who is doing that.

[scottish]

oh so how does he know everything that's happening that no other staff seem to know

[Chippiewill]

Recursion and I are bffs / extrapolation from prior knowledge.
