For some reason when I try to use the search it says \"website not responding\". Does anyone else get this?

I just tried it and it works for me. I put in \"whelen\" and it took four minutes, but gave me every post that had that in there somewhere.

I have that problem probably 3/4 of the time I try to use it.

phpBB is fairly resource-intensive to start with, and I would hypothesize that the machine this board sits on is quite underpowered. It's slow in general for me, just browsing posts, and I'm absolutely certain it's not a bandwidth issue on my end.

It only works for me if I click \"search for all terms\".

I've been having problems with it all day.. and often before that.

I have to give it something real easy and specific. I can't do \"Whelen\" in all threads..

Most of the time it takes forever and brings me to a blank page and says \"done\" (loading) in the browser.

I think the Server is underpowered...... and bullitin boards just get worse as they get more posts and info..

So look forward to it getting slower..
