Looks like it!

More or less, yep. Not everything works (search, time stamp on latest posts) but you can post.

If you want to know what happened, it's explained here:

I blame Wiggle

If it's back on there are a few bugs I think eg all posts on the home page are marked as read by me. I wish I had that much spare time!

Yes, that's one of the issues that still needs resolving

hardy26 had the dubious honour of making the last post. We are awarding him/her a prize

Hi Hardy.

Editing of Classifieds Titles doesn't appear to work (e.g. changing/editing to item SOLD), editing post text is ok.

Hmm, this is not something that we can replicate.

Make sure you don't exceed 60 chars in the title.

It appears that you can edit it, but its doesn't show up in the main classifieds titles when you submit it. If i go to the ad and click edit, it then shows the edited text in the title..ie SOLD, but doesn't actually edit it when its submitted.

Yes it did. You could always edit the title (subject) text. Plenty people did after they had sold an item..ie..they changed it to SOLD or MODS Please delete etc. I've did it a few times after I've sold stuff.

sorry thought you were on about the edit tag that appeared after an edit. Yes i can confirm that topic headings are not editable at the moment.

They are now though

whats going to happen with the search function? Right now I cant get a search to bring up any results from threads made before Hardy26 broke the forum... Will we get access to them again as its a hugely valuable resource?

Jeff Jones

Search is going to take a few more days to reinstate. The search database was even bigger than the forum database because every word of every one of the 16 million posts was indexed.

We're going to improve that in the medium term with a forum upgrade. In the short term it will be brought back to its former functionality.

thanks Jeff
