Search Function Removed

The search function is very intensive on the database and because it seems that our attacker is using it to bring the system down, I have disabled it until further notice. Sorry for the inconvenience.

No, there's a known exploit involving the calendar.

The search function likely would have had to have been disabled no matter what the forum software. MYSQL searches are pretty resource intensive as it involves searching for a string instead of looking up and indexed ID number or the like. It is my belief that the attacker is simply running an intensive search repeatedly, not really using an exploit.

You should turn on the whos online feature.

Hey guys, geuss what. This thread isnt about what you want turned back on.

If you want a calendar, windows comes with one. If you want one with more functionality, get outlook or something.

If you want to see whos online, add users to your buddy list in your profile.

Oh and btw, the little lightsabers under your name tell you that too.

Yes. I know.

However, it doesn't help mutch because I can't keep track of who posted what where so I can go see if they're online.

Wolfy is funny. NOT.

Which reminds me. Brad should stick one of these in the search area instead:
http://www.google.com/services/free.html

You get to customize a few colors and insert an image, and you can have results for just the forums.massassi.net domain. :)

You'll get results like this:
http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aforums.massassi.net+osiris&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official
'cept in your chosen color scheme.

Here's how it looks for my site. It took me longer to get the search box code to match my site then it did for me to set up the actual Google Search thing.
