An longer announcement was made in the announcements section about:

3-letter searches are now active (though the index will still be rebuilding throughout the day). You can now search on words like 'CPU' and 'Z80'.

Two 'test' styles were added. At the very bottom left of the screen, besides the default vbulletin look, you can select a black or a grey style.
 
I asked mclemore about this 2 days ago, then saw the site go down for indexing yesterday so I was wondering if this was being rolled out. :biggthumpup:
 
Not sure if this is skin related or what... but since I went to the black skin, I can't seem to edit or use the quick message box at the bottom... both seem to just load and load and load...the quick message evidently DOES post the message but it doesn't say it's completed...and trying to edit it just spins...spins...spins...

Could be just a serve glitch right now though I guess.
 
PS: Just happened again...with the default skin this time....and I can't go back in and edit the last post...it just spins. So it's not skin related it seems.
 
Is the re-indexing why KLOV is slower than molasses at times now?

Seems you were running into the same issue I PM'd you about a little while ago. Seems to be good now, though.
 
Wow, thank you. I love the idea of 3 letter searches, thank you.

The skins are nice but more options or the ability to customize would be sweet.

edit: I too have noticed the forums running slow, update issues?

Yes, thank you for fixing the three letter searches. Since I just got my Qix, it has been very hard to search for info/parts, etc. :)
 
He's got some more secrets up his sleeve coming too :)

Is this one of them?

thank god! this is a site where we need three letter searches! that explains why me searching 'MCR' the other day brought up nothing.

Where is your VAPS information in your profile to make that happen? I looked but didn't see a place. I wonder if it is linking on some piece of information that I do not have in common with my VAPS account like User ID, email, etc.
 
Yes, the site was running slow yesterday because the database server was taking a real pounding with a mega reindex.

Yes...as mentioned in one of the other threads...one of the upcoming secrets was connecting the forums and vaps together. I didn't intend for people to figure it out so quickly since I'm not done with it yet. I've shut off vaps until I've finished, which will probably be tomorrow.
 
I like the Black Slick. One more thing, can you move the Join Date, Location, Posts info under the user name. It would get rid of the big gaps in between post. Please, Please, Please.... :)
 
I think what you mean is move all user info (avatar, name, and other info) next to the post, not above the post.
