[Superhitech]

What happened again?

I want to know too, bitcointalk gave me an error saying "SMF cannot connect, try again later"

The forum is just recently back up.

Theymos warned that the forum will be periodically down as everything is reconfigured.

So no worries

Ahhh, I see, thanks.

Are there more scheduled maintenance times, or is this the last one?

It's not the last, it may last for a few days.

There will some periodic downtime over the next few days (a few hours in total) as we get everything reconfigured/settled. A few things might be broken. Tell me if you see any bugs.

Recent error that i received
"Connection Problems

Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later."

[redsn0w]

I hope all the issues has been resolved, however any ETA for the new "forum" ? It remains ~ 1 week to  February.

[dserrano5]

Thanks, are there exact dates for it?

Yeah it will work 100% beginning Jan 27th. Ah, how do I know that since the OP says nothing, you ask? Well I just pulled it out of my ass. Now GO READ THE OP!

Everybody got it. It's nothing special since theymos already warned us this could have occurred as to allow the recovery from the last forum's DB incident. By the while you could have avoided posting if you had read the previous post here.

Same here. It was down about a day ago. Theymos is currently making some changes to the forum and fixing things up so this sort of downtime is to be expected though:

Theymos already said that there will be some intentional downtimes to correct a few things.
Dont worry.

So the search function is still offline? can it be repaired soon (and as it's something of real importance it shouldn't take as long as avatars repair took "∞")

Just use Google to search for now. Google is much better than the search function on here. Although, the search function can be useful at times.

use:

Code:

site:bitcointalk.org <search>

If you use a common keyword when searching, you may get many results. So filter the results by going to advanced tools and set dates.

Any other downtimes planned? Pretty boring getting here and seeing this offline all of a sudden

[theymos]

Searching is enabled again now. I also made several improvements to search. It should be substantially faster now, and maybe also more accurate. (SMF was extremely buggy in this area -- it's surprising that search was even usable before.)
