Searching Errors

[Rawhide]

When searching for posts from this page http://www.giantitp.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=;action=search I get the following error after a long wait. When I search for posts by a particular user from their profile, I get the same error after a longer wait. It does not happen every time and I have not worked out what triggers it, will keep you posted.

Hmm, I think the same thing happened to me once when I searched in someone's profile for the posts they made...

Adrianna, 1 post - Didn't work


I think the problem could be to do with the max age of last post, it is strange that 35 wouldn't work then a few moments later 36 would work, I'm thinking it might not be a precise number that trips it, but that range that can cause problems depending on other variables (such as server load possibly). It is late however, and I won't rule out that I could have made a mistake with 35 and 37 not working the first time (but I doubt it).

I feel special, you used me... ;D

The server upgrade appears to have fixed this for me, maybe. I am not currently receiving this error on searches.
