new posts button

wtf u done with it

Recursion told me the other day that the search function caused major issues with server performance and the new posts link makes a new search every time so they may have disabled it until they can improve performance.

Edit: In fact all searching has been disabled.

Matt said use: http://www.habboxforum.com/activity.php for now I think. Not sure, maybe it's to fix the Euro thing?

New announcement explains all:

While the search engine is disabled we will continue monitoring each Habbox site and fix any issues that would be causing any downtime for our users.

The built-in search engine also does control "What's New?" or "New Posts" and that does mean it will also be disabled. If you wish to use a similar feature then you can use the "Activity Stream" which you can click on by the navigation bar at the top of the forum or by going to: http://www.habboxforum.com/activity.php

We apologise for this and I know the search is a function a lot of users do use but we need to carry out these investigations.

so to investigate downtime you disable the only thing that keeps the forum (very barely) active.

I'm sure basically everyone uses new posts to see and reply to threads -.-

**** sake.

I love people on this forum. You complain about the server issues or downtime and then you complain when we actually deal with these issues... you just can't win. It is also not our fault that vbulletin combines "New Posts" into the actual search engine itself. We are doing this to investigate and if it stops the forum going down then we have found the issue, like Chippiewill said:

I complain about maintenance during peak times.

I complain about downtimes as a result to Jins inactivity and your inability to do anything about it

I couldn't care less about 3 minute downtime at 2:30AM if it means we get to keep the most useful feature on the website.

So when will it be re-enabled.

Activity stream is a heavy pile of phallus

I complain about maintenance during peak times = We updated quite a lot of stuff that was outdated and needed updating.

I complain about downtimes as a result to Jins inactivity and your inability to do anything about it = If you read the posts in this thread you would find out we have an actual person who has server access and their name isn't Jin. Oh and they are VERY active.

So when will it be re-enabled = When we feel it isn't a problem or we have found an alternative.

Oh and this isn't what causes the forum to go down at half 2 in the morning.

You can update outdated stuff at non-peak times.

I'm aware of that and i've not mentioned it since he got access.

Get a plugin or something to deal with it and now show the contents and details of every post thats made.
