    I think many of us have noticed the site having issues the past few days. In particular, the pages and dynamic refresh of bits of loaded pages (alerts, inserting your new post, etc.). A result of what appears to me to be a bug in the forum software is people are double posting or creating duplicate threads.

    I want to assure you that I've been on it since it became noticeable. It only happens when the site is under load, so those are the only times I can try to diagnose the problem.

    To that end, I think I've narrowed it down to the search function or one of the handful of plugins I added to the site to improve our experience. The issue seems directly related to new posts. The forum software needs to update a search index for 3.5M posts. The forum software blocks any other posts while that index is updated. That at is the long delay we all were seeing. This is my current theory - all the clues suggest it.

    I've shut down the search feature and a few of the likely buggy addons. So far, the site is much more responsive for me and I'm not seeing error popups or long times to post.

    Please PM me if you see lagginess or end up making double posts.

    I bought a deluxe search engine option for xenforo. I didn't fully set it up when we moved to the new set up. If we determine it is the search function that is the problem, I'll set that up.

    I may want to try turning on one or more of the features at a time to see if they trigger the problem. Please bear with me. I am 100% positive I will resolve the problem soon.

    I appreciate your patience.

    I all of a sudden can't see who is viewing the pages.

    I was just about to say something because it had happened a few times. But I figured it was just me since no one else brought it up. Thanks for the heads up! For what its worth, it has happened to me both on PC and on my iPad.

    One of the things I turned off is the "who's viewing this thread" at the bottom of thread pages.

    That is one of those things I was saying I might turn on to see if the issue comes back.

    I'm having trouble seeing the "fuck that guy" button. Where did it go? I see my mod privileges for ability to hack accounts is frozen too! You take away all my fun!

    Maybe I didn't turn off the index all the way. The problem persists. I'm on it still.
