Ray Jones Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 i just pressed the view-active-threads-link under my username at the LF main page. there just pops this message page in saying "Sorry. The search function has been disabled by the administrator." so i went and tried the search button at the top of the page to check it back. same result. is there any reason for this?

Darth Groovy Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 You been denied access to that feature. Because it works fine for the rest of us. No, seriously, I believe it was disabled, because it is a server killer. Thousands upon thousands of members... you can imagine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom Rabbit Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 I have been finding the website easier to get onto lately. Good call. This also gives us a certain degree of...privacy. Folks can't follow us around by username this way. *(Looks at Ray and Roy.)* The time has come to begin the revolution. Alert all our operatives.

Surfnshannon Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 As found in the Jedi Knight Forums.....taken from Matt's post This is why the admins aren't fixing it I suppose... Originally posted by matt-windu As you know, searching and signatures are disabled. Avatars are periodically. So everybody asks, "Why?"...usually with more 'colorful metaphors.' Here's a somewhat technical explanation: This forum is run with PHP and MySQL. When you call a page up, apache finds the appropriate file and decides what to do with it. It sees that the file's extension is '.php' and sends it to the php interpreter. It changes the code into html. The php script will include database queries(mysql). So the path to the page goes: apache -> php -> mysql. Apache is a great piece of sotware. PHP is fast, too. MySQL is fast, but not very scalable. The search table is over 200 megabytes. There are a total(all in the file) of 33 queries in the search php. Any idea how long it takes to scan through 200 megs? Sigs don't take up nearly as much space, but they are extra queries involved. 1 for each post(at least). Avatars have a single call to the database(mysql), but again, that's 1 for each post. It's a toss up between this and sigs, but avatars seem more popular. A non-technical explanation: Deal with it...our server can't. So don't post anymore 'Why is the search disabled!?!!?1' threads. You no longer have an excuse...you have been answered. Update: Slow load times & ads Recently people have been complaining about 2 new things...ads and load times. Here's the deal: this network is a hobby...the owners pay for it out of pocket. All the network sites(except for JK2.net and LucasForums) are on one server. The 2 exceptions each have a dedicated server. They are running at full capacity. If you think we should have more servers, than we need to have more ads(read: much more). Update 2: The Files section Yes, we know that they don't work. If you have a high-speed connection that can handle some MASSIVE bandwidth usage, feel free to contact us. Until you do, stop complaining...there isn't any other way to say it. Rest assured that the files WILL be back online in the foreseeable future. When you login from the mainpage, your username(Guest) will NOT update to reflect your actual username. The script DOES recognize you, however.

Ray Jones Posted October 2, 2003 Author Share Posted October 2, 2003 thank you sttct. i would have searched for it.. but i cant search. does anyone know why..?? oh.. right. it was disabled. ok. i understand and i will accept this, although i dont see a problem with searching 200M with a "couple" of queries .. but depending on the hardware this can take a while, ok. so i'll just live with it. (what else could i do? .. i have no powerful server to help out with.. ) err. yes. so i'll go and make a petition to change the search button to the "flower&peace" button where we all can click to watch a beautiful flowered scene to learn more about our inner selfes. edit: where exactly is this post of Matt-Windu posted?
