When I try to use the forum (not user) search, when I enter a search string and click on Search, I get taken to "http://forum.icetv.com.au/iceforum/search2/", which like the Bellman's map, is "A perfect and absolute blank!"
QuoteHe had bought a large map representing the sea,
Without the least vestige of land:
And the crew were much pleased when they found it to be
A map they could all understand.
"What's the good of Mercator's North Poles and Equators,
Tropics, Zones, and Meridian Lines?"
So the Bellman would cry: and the crew would reply
"They are merely conventional signs!
"Other maps are such shapes, with their islands and capes!
But we've got our brave Captain to thank:
(So the crew would protest) "that he's bought us the best--
A perfect and absolute blank!"

The whole website seems a bit flakey. I found I had been logged out and when I tried to log in it kept telling me I had an incorrect Login or Password, until after I used the same details about 10 times, it finally accepted them.
Yeah, the forum needs a couple more tweaks to get right, now that the new website has been launched I will check it out.
Its more than just the forums.
Yeah, there was some weirdness tonight as the main website went through a massive update, but this will have settled down already.
I've been getting random bad gateway errors for about a week

Same here. Tedious and annoying. This problem has been around for some time now.

Intermiitent. cleans itself up after a while.
Most recent this morning prior to around 12 PM have only now been able to get past this.
Yeah, I have some coredumps now, just not sure how far I can go seeing as its likely something in SMF. Will have to see what can be done.

Thanks, Daniel.
Five months on, and forum search still doesn't work.
The ability to preview posts (which also broke some time ago) is still missing from the Post windows.
Any idea when these might be fixed?
Such snarks, I'm told, can be found as follows:

You may threaten its life with a railway-share;
You may charm it with smiles and soap—'"

Something else I was trying to do is automatically hide a hyperlink behind text. I can do it if I insert the hyperlink manually between the hyperlink quotes, then edit the message to add the text behind which I can hide the hyperlink, but I thought that previously it could all be done in one go in the original post.
Text that's a hyperlink is always formatted as [url=http://erewhon.com/utopia.html]nowhere[/url].
I.e. nowhere (http://erewhon.com/utopia.html)
There's never been a mechanism to do that all in one hit. I usually do it by selecting the text, pressing the Insert Hyperlink button, and then adding the "=URL" text, usually pasting the URL.
It's pretty much the same as on the Beyonwiz forum.

Then I was mistaken as to the ability to do it all in one hit, but what about amending the insert url button to do the url=http bit? Or add another button that does both the url=http and "=
URL" bits? At the moment the url button doesn't do anything more to a hyperlink than inserting it in a post without use of the button.
Not up to me.
Maybe it should have its own topic. This topic is about a function that used to work until the last upgrade of the forum software.

Holy crap, forum search is fixed... was an incompatibility with php7 it looks like, they used a 'continue' where it should have been a 'return', that's it... wow.
Are you sure it's fixed? I just did a search on "forum search is fixed", and it's improved a bit, because I got properly formatted forum page instead of The Bellman's "perfect and absolute blank," but it didn't actually have any search results in it.
Even searches for "ice" and "icetv", which I'd expect would return a lot of results, return no results.

Hmm, now that is very weird.
I definitely got results back when I was testing, so I just tried again and for "ice" I get 26 pages of results and for "icetv" I get 14 pages worth.
I just re-tried searching for "icetv", and I got no results. Nicely formatted, though :D
Just doesn't like me. :'(

Apparently not. ;D Works for me
Doesn't seem to work if you use the search box at the top right of the screen when viewing a topic but works from other screens.

Yes, now that I've checked in more detail, that's what's happening for me, too. Broken in a new and inventive manner now ;)
