There seems to have been a slight problem with the database. Please try again by pressing the refresh button in your browser.

We apologise for the inconvenience.

Related to the outage I'd guess. Can't the Greek army see Mark has more important things to do?

Alexander's Horse · July 17, 2003, 07:58

Was that a rhetorical question?

DrSpike · July 17, 2003, 08:45

Yes.

-Jrabbit · July 17, 2003, 09:34

Same experience. Frustrating. Now I have to actually *remember* which threads I was spamming...

Hydey · July 17, 2003, 09:41

Yes it makes it hard on us old folk

Rasbelin · July 17, 2003, 09:43

The vBulletin search is currently out of order as the MySQL database server can't handle all the service requests. Apparently you should try again when there's less traffic. Patience is the essence.

I'm sitting here at 03:40, Europe is just starting up and anyone else with sense is still asleep.

Search is still slagged.

Frozzy · July 18, 2003, 03:43

Now is off-peak time, and search doesn't work.

Alexander's Horse: Give this link a try: http://apolyton.net/forums/search.ph...der=descending

It may only work for my username, but it bypasses that annoying page, and gets you straight to My Threads. I use it all the time, and I still get My Threads now.

Frozzy · July 18, 2003, 04:31

Oh... that link above doesn't seem to work either.

Alexander's Horse · July 18, 2003, 06:02

You're a freaking genius.

Frozzy · July 18, 2003, 06:05

Well it worked until now.

Skanky Burns · July 18, 2003, 07:05

Sure it did.

Hydey · July 18, 2003, 07:53

I'm sure it use to work, at that special site only Frozzy can see and post at

Alexander's Horse · July 22, 2003, 02:05

Any news on the my threads feature?

Yes. It still doesn't work.

Ben Kenobi · July 22, 2003, 07:12

I second that, AH.

Good luck to anyone trying to find old threads that one has posted in.

Alexander's Horse · July 22, 2003, 09:26

Yes, enthusiatic members of Apolyton are the hardest hit. The injustice is staggering.

The regular "my threads" feature is a simple shortcut link using the forum search (it searched for all threads you posted in). Forum search is out when there's any significant amount of traffic.

The search results of recent search actions are always cached, so the server doesn't have to search all over again when you go to the next page or something. That's what Frozzy's link was, a link to the cached results (

or maybe just a cached query) to his results. That would only work for him, and only for a limited period of time.

What DOES work, is the "Your threads" link you can find in your "control panel" on the Apolyton main page. Or a link straight to the working "my threads" feature:

Skanky Burns · July 22, 2003, 21:07

Alas, poor AH.
Now you have to work a bit for your spam.

Alexander's Horse · July 24, 2003, 00:31

What am I? A door mat?

When is this feautre going to be fixed please?

-Jrabbit · July 25, 2003, 09:09

I had just about given up, but had been gone for 48 hrs so gave it a try.

IT WORKS AGAIN!

Thanks.

Hydey · July 25, 2003, 09:17

Yes it is, takes a while but it is working just fine

thanks whoever

It's a mysterous DanQ... fixing things in the shadows of the robust beast of Apolyton. Hopefully he does not get dragged into the Canadian military... fortunetly chances of that are good seeing as Canada really does not have a military.

The Canadian military is mighty, we just can't see it

Makeo · July 26, 2003, 09:50
