Forum was down for several hours, went back up, and then went down again for a couple hours earlier today.

I think that this was the longest downtime since this started..

I'm not 100% sure but I think the first one after the initial downtime was a bit longer. Then again, I slept through most of it so maybe my timing is a bit off.

Yay, search is back. I was tired of using KEYWORD site:bitcointalk.org on google.

New forum software coming soon? It's February already, hope to see it soon.

I'm the opposite of you. I've always preferred to use "site:bitcointalk.org" on Google for searching the forums.

Most of the recent downtime is caused by MariaDB very rarely hanging on a random query and preventing all other queries from completing. If this sort of thing happens when everyone is sleeping/away (especially on weekends), then there's downtime. Someone on the MariaDB IRC says that it might be a bug in the version of MariaDB that I upgraded to as part of the server change.

I would love to see new forum software. But Theymos is probably busy.

Another odd, non-planned outage... Seems that everything is now back and working though, search included

It was planned—read the OP.

I have a forum that has been running on SMF since before it was called SMF. (PutterTalk.com) I can certainly appreciate that error page! Great job getting search re-enabled.

These downtimes are for upgrades, not data loss and recovery, right?

Are these random downtime time for backups or there are still problems with the database?

Searching is enabled again now. I also made several improvements to search. It should be substantially faster now, and maybe also more accurate. (SMF was extremely buggy in this area -- it's surprising that search was even usable before.)

Thanks for adding the search function back mate , that will reduce topics of the same thing little bit .
Btw , I'am pretty sure that the forum was down for several hours and back online just minuts ago , what was the reason of that ? was having a Connection Problem error when I try to come to the forums

Thanks for implementing it again!

If you use a common keyword when searching, you may get many results. So filter the results by going to advanced tools and set dates.

Yes, you can use others as well, some examples would be:

So the search function is still offline? can it be repaired soon (and as it's something of real importance it shouldn't take as long as avatars repair took "∞")

Just use Google to search for now. Google is much better than the search function on here. Although, the search function can be useful at times.

the forum was down around 20 hours before too

Giving Connection Problem and not able to access the forum

Theymos already said that there will be some intentional downtimes to correct a few things.
Dont worry.
