I haven't seen the server error for a while though... maybe it wouldn't do too much harm now.  Or perhaps we could have the advanced search page back?

We finally get rid of the high server load, and you want it back?

That search page is TOO advanced. Doing an advanced search through the text of 50000 messages requires too much processing. I've been able to make the server load exceed 10.00 with that script...

Back to the topic... uhh, anyone have a collection of transparent .gifs yet?

Course not but there's no harm in stretching the server a bit, but within its limits, in compromise for better quality forums

Maybe you could make the search page even more advanced... so you could choose to search recent posts only, as well as choosing forum and username.  If the search covers too many threads, the request could be rejected, or better still put through to basic search.

Think about it eh?  We know u can do it
