      I'm sure this has been posted a gazillion times already... but the search function doesn't seem to be showing posts from the past 24 hours when I search for "all posts by user," namely myself. Just an FYI.

      Yip, I've also been having that problem for the past two day from my desktop. Using the search function, I can only see posts in my history from three days ago.

      Is there a way to go to the last unread post using the new beta?

      I don't think there was ever an update on what exactly - technically - is going wrong here?

      It would be good to hear that it is at least known, and that - if the site is under some kind of DoS/DDoS attack - that it's just a dumb bandwidth/resource hogging attack, and not one that actually gains wider access to the site/infrastructure.

      Slow slow slow this afternoon. Takes several minutes from when you hit post until the post shows up in the thread. Surely I'm not alone in this?

      Well, a DoS can include a pretty wide variety of things, including gaining some level of access, to help deny it to others.

      With the way the site has been borking-up - not just losing the ability to access, but weird bugs being thrown up when using the site - the latter just looks a bit more 'weird' and relates to the internal workings of the site, and would be good to know that it can definitely be explained just by excessive bandwidth/resource usage.

      Getting beyond ridiculous now.

      Funny how it's coinciding with the ugly looking beta site thingy... which will probably be enough to destroy usability on its own

      Is it a pain in the rectum? For sure.

      Unless you're subscribing to the site though (which I ain't) you've fup all right to be complaining about a service which 999/1000 runs perfectly.

      It'll get fixed soon enough. Get over yourselves lads.
