    Hi,
    When I do a search for all my posts, there seems to be a gap in my post search history of about a year. Stuff I posted today shows up, then the most recent stuff after that (when sorted by "Newest") is from 11 months ago. When I search for thanked posts of mine, more recent ones show up (like the last post I made, when my holidays started in mid-August)

    I was away for three weeks, but only started posting regularly again today. As fair as I can tell, the posts themselves are there, they're just not showing up in the post history.

    Does anyone else have this issue? Could an index have become corrupted or something?

    Yeah my stuff from today is showing up, then it seems to skip a few months.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    I'd say the servers could be under pressure today. Transfer deadline day in the football tends to cause trouble, and then there's all the talk about celebrity photos being leaked on top of that too. Might be related, might not.

    Actually, one of the hard drives on the search server died and was replaced today, so it takes a little while for the index to be rebuilt.

    Thanks Dav, I thought as much. Good old RAID, lose a drive and still keep on truckin' :)
