Search function DEAD?

I just tried to do a search and when I clicked on the link a page came up with the following message

CheaperJeeper, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
  1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
  2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.
Ummm, WTF?!? Did I do something to disable my ability to search the forums, or did someone else (admin?), or has there been some kind of change in the rules, or..... what?

I also noticed that there is no search link under the FORUM TOOLS menu to allow me to search just the Pre-Powerstroke Diesel forum. WEIRD!

Just found this out, Hope this helps everyone.


Forums search
<HR style="COLOR: #666666" SIZE=1>Forums search has been turned off for all users except admins, moderators and Club FTE members.

There has been a delay from the manufacturer receiving our new mega-server, and we must take this step to keep the current system serviceable during peak times

Betcha' that explains the downtime in the middle of the day yesterday too, huh? I'm guessing they prolly had to take the system offline for a little while to disable all the search function code....

OK, now the search function seems to be back online, but there's a new oddball problem. After I read posts, their titles still show up in bold text - the board doesn'e seem to be marking them as read.

That happening to other people too, or just me?

The new server is still over a week from being online.
So many people were complaining that Admin juggled some other features to turn search back on.
Search may be on and off over the next week and a half till the new server is online.
Better to have a site online with no search than have a crashed site.

All will be well again in two weeks.
