"Old" Search function not finding newest posts :(

    Hello all,

    Still using the "old" search function at http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/search.php? (as I heavily dislike the layout of the new one), and in the last few days, none of my recent posts would be showing. Latest post it shows is eight hours ago. Would regularly use this function in the past, and it would always find posts, even if they were only a few minutes old (great for mega long threads).

    It works for me, as far as I can see.

    Can you give an example of a post which you can't find using search?

    Will get back to you on that - it seems to work okay now, but the lag happens in the afternoon usually.

    Okay. It has no taken effect. The latest post I can see is from 09:00 this morning. I think the time was the same yesterday.

    Time & post that doesn't show up:

    11:40 Games/Games http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=74039158&postcount=30
    13:55 Rec/After Hours http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=74041786&postcount=67
    14:42 Biz/Talk to.../Currys & PC World http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=74042726&postcount=22

    Probably more, but I can't find them :pac:

    All those posts turn up for me. They're not deleted or otherwise hidden. You can see them.

    Don't know to be honest.

    Seems to be okay again. Next week, I'll try to narrow down the time frame of when this occurs.

    Still happening, but I found something out;

    If I "Search All Open Forums" the latest post is listed as "Yesterday, 14:59", but if I select everything except for "Search All Open Forums", I get the latest post at "Today, 17:38".

    And another update... It seems either the "normal" search works, or this works, in an either-or situation. Truly odd.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
