Just a quick update. We are proceeding with the upgrades outlined in my note above. We now have a more robust server running the web portion of the site (you should have noticed that the load times of the site increased considerably recently and it is because of this new machine). We are still working on getting the old server configured for its role as a dedicated machine for searching.
Thanks Eyetricks and to the staff in general for the updates and upgrades. Very helpful.

The search range is back to 2 weeks again?

Any update on this? I understand the technical issues involved, but limiting the search range like this severely reduces the value of the entire forum for those of us who cannot visit every day.
What about increasing the search range but limiting the number of searches that can be done? Even if I could only do one or two one-year searches per day, I would still find that far more useful than unlimited 2-week searches.
I thought that this had been posted somewhere but I can't see it myself so it obviously hasn't.
Yesterday the forum software got upgraded to the latest version and there seem to have been a few side effects. The forum banner is gone and so is the 'google search' box (which I'm assuming is what you meant). The normal search box is still there http://forums.superiorpics.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/search but the search server still hasn't been fixed yet so it isn't working properly
Search server should be operating without any problems. It appears that the search was set for a maximum of two weeks. I have just changed it to a maximum of one year.
