Hi,

Sorry, I've been travelling a lot lately so haven't been around to reply to this.

Regarding the comment from Dan asking which thread I couldn't reply to, I aren't going to track that down, and luckily I don't have to as I couldn't reply to my own thread below.

Hope that helps.

Regarding the comment made about the search delay, yes I was referring to the wait timer.
I think it is silly to allow a bypass with a set donation rate.
I donated $10 last year, not because I was asked to, but because I wanted to. I didn't do it for any icon beside my name, nor did I do it for any other specific reasons. It won't stop me from donating again, but I'm inclined not to donate $20 or more on general principle.
The filter is there for spammers. I don't consider myself a spammer, like everyone else here, but that's your choice and I don't really care that much.

Only time it annoys me is when I am trying to find a thread and the search function is not working properly so a minute or 2 can potentially turn into 10 minutes.

You are perfectly entitled to donate or not donate as you see fit. If the wait timer is important enough to you to prevent your donating $20 to support the site, that is your right.

The wait timer is enabled by DEFAULT out-of-the-box, so if I had left the settings is they normally are, you would still have that wait timer.

That timer is enabled to prevent the server load from spiking from bot-created autosearches and other malicious attacks.

P.S. I still don't fully understand when you say you cannot respond to your own thread. I have had no other reports (yet) from other members saying they cannot reply to threads. Is it all threads you cannot reply to or just certain ones or in certain sections of the board?

Update: Another member messaged me that he was having similar problems in the Site Announcements forum. Somehow in the board upgrade the permissions on that forum got scrozzed. Should now be fixed. Non-admins/moderators should be able to reply to threads in that forum but not start new threads.

Cant say I have ever had to wait 10 mins for any search. That seems a bit weird.

Multiple searches because it isn't working properly.

I just gave up ans stopped using it

Just reply to anything interesting that comes up in unread content now...

I have no problems with the search function. About 3 seconds and the search is done.

Same here. In fact, it might even be slightly faster than before.

Well, both Stefan and Darkstone are in the 2017 donors group, which bypasses the search flood control entirely.

For AlphaMale and CureTheSane:

When you say "Unusable" are you referring to the time it takes for a search to execute, the fact that you have to wait between consecutive searches, or something else entirely?

The search flood control should not affect how long it takes for a search to run, only a waiting period between searches.

I would also appreciate input from others regarding the search mechanism, since this board upgrade was a major change.

Thanks,

-Dan

I just did a search for Steelheart and it came back with no hits

So I went to threads I have posted in and scrolled down to the topic.

Normally I just wouldn't have bothered but only did so to make sure that there was in fact a Steelheart thread and that the search function does indeed suck.

Just restricts the use of the forum and therefore my contributions which are now minimal...

I think I see the problem. Depending on what page you are on when you do a search, the default search filter does NOT search the entire forum. It may search the current topic. It may search status updates, etc. When you first click in the search box, you need to pay attention to the filter that slides out to the left and change it accordingly.

The search does not suck. You're just using it wrong. It's different from the old board.

Your explanation as to why it isn't working properly basically tells me that it sucks as it doesn't work like every other search function ever. :)

 

But thanks. I'll try again.

      Framing the Red / Southern Hard Rock with a dash of sleaze

      By whiplash1972 · Posted

      Added Framing the Red over on the main site recently: Framing the Red discography reference list of music CDs. Heavy Harmonies Their website: Framing The Red Their Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/framingtheredband Their YouTube channel: (23) Framing the Red Official Page - YouTube They have four releases, and all are quite good in my opinion. If I had to describe them, I'd say this is what Gunshine would sound like if they went in a more southern rock direction.  Here are some of my favorite tracks... Crossroads   Whiskey & Weed   Holy Water   Mississippi Hippie   Heroes   Bonnie & Clyde   Rockin' Into the Night (38 Special cover)   "Crossroads" and "Heroes" are probably my two faves.  *I will give a word of warning:  if you decide to purchase any of their discs, they are barebones releases with just the CD in a cardboard slipcase. I enjoy the music enough that that's not an issue for me though.  @lettard @KarpetRydOFunk @tts42572 @AlphaMale @Dead Planet @Mr.AOR @tobi is an animal I think all of you gentlemen should give these guys a listen and see what you think.

      Saw these guys first time a couple of years ago, when they were 16-17 years old, they are absolutely awesome. They have been touring for a few years now, performing their own songs, yet haven't released anything, until now. I have tickets to see them this saturday, opening for Mercenary.

      Eclipse - Megalomanium ll

      By tts42572 · Posted

      My Japan copy showed up today. I was critical of the Part I album as that one just did very little for me.  Basically, I just didn't think the songs were all that catchy and/or memorable.  I played that album a handful of times trying to get into it and gave up rather quickly which was disappointing as I loved Wired.  Maybe I just had too high of expectations or something.  I know many liked that album but for me at least, that Megalomanium I album would be ranked toward the bottom of their discography. Well, after hearing this new one, I'm feeling the opposite....Here I feel like they nailed it and I'm digging this one after the first listen.  I basically couldn't wait to start it over and listen again. The first 5 songs just come out guns a blazing with catchy, hook filled songs.  Yeah, we've heard 4 of those songs as singles but I almost purposely haven't listened to those songs much so they'd still sound fresh when the album dropped.  Then the one song we hadn't heard, All I Want, is just another upbeat, catchy tune. The 2nd half though is where things probably get more interesting.  Songs like Dive Into You and To Say Goodbye are the kinds of varied balladish/mid-tempo type songs I've been wanting Eclipse to mix things up with and there's 2 of those songs here, both very well done IMO.  Then there's a couple heavier tunes like Divide & Conquer and One In A Million that sound like stuff that could've been on Bleed & Scream.  And then a couple other melodic rockers with Until the War is Over and Pieces. I also feel like this has some of the better lyrics that Eclipse has had in awhile.  I think a lot of their material recently has been just been sort of lighter subject matter, 3 minute "simplistic" romps.  I felt Part I had a lot of that which kind of contributed to it being less interesting.  Here though, it seems like some of these songs get a bit deeper and can feel more emotion in songs like Still My Hero, Dive Into You and To Say Goodbye for example.   Anyways, where Part I is among my least favorite Eclipse albums, I'd say my early impression of Part II is that it'll be among my favorite Eclipse albums.
