At the time I got here the search function worked pretty well. A while later there was a problem with something and a setting was changed that limited how far back a search could go in order not to overload and crash the board. From that time on I could not do meaningful searches. I played around a lot and found a way to search using the poster's history. Because I knew who had been here longer than me and what subjects they likely responded to I found a lot but new guys probably don't know us that well. Also when an old post was found it is difficult to get a link to it in a newer post. Lastly for several months now when I make a post it does go through but I get this message:
UBB Error We encountered a problem. The reason reported was
Database error only visible to forum administrators

I have to reenter the Bulletin Board instead of just returning automatically to the thread I was on. I think it is time that those of us who use the get a fully functioning board.
