Thanks Marie.
No, go into any of my journals and click "Search this thread", add in anything (Santa, Christmas, Iron Maiden - anything that should come up) and you won't get a failure message but a database error. At least, I do.
Maybe there's some problem with my browser? It's worked before though. Pretty annoying as I'm trying to find a particular article in one of the journals and it's next to impossible.

Oh I see, I get it too. No idea what causes it though

Well at least it's not just me. Maybe Plankton might have some idea; he's very computer literate. I don't know if it can be fixed, but it is pretty annoying. I know Frownland once checked something similar for me with the top guy, I forget his name? He might be able to help.

Oh yeah. Yac, that was it.
Thanks

Yeah this has never happened to me before when doing searches so something must be going on. It's not very often but it does happen sometime. And it doesn't appear to be related with timing but specific topics of search.

Trollheart 12-23-2020 05:14 AM
As far as I can see, it seems to happen only in the journals section. I can search outside, in the main forum, but not in my journals.

Yac's a girl now.

I've had this problem too with "Search This Thread". No clue as to why, but it's been like that for a while now. The only work-around is to use the Advanced Search where you can select individual forum sections instead of the entire forum. It narrows it down a bit.

Trollheart 12-23-2020 12:14 PM
Thanks Plankton but no, it doesn't work within the journals section. There's not much of an advanced search anyway, but even using it still returns me to the database error. :(

Try it from your own journal and see if you can search (or from mine, or anyone else's).

I was talking about going to the main page and using the Search function in the bar with "User CP/Blogging/New Posts/Search/Quick Links/Log Out" options.
