So this is almost the 4th day in a row this has happend to me. A few days ago I tryed to get on the site, and it said it was down when I tryed lookin at it at home. It didn't work for two days, but then the day after that I tryed at school and it worked fine.

Since I didn't have time to check at school I figured it was working again and i'd check at home. Well like I said, for the fourth time today I have clicked on the "new posts" and it comes up: vBulletin Message

Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

This is REALLY pissing me off when I have 200-400 (700 after the first day of it working again) messages to check, and then I have to manually go into each forum and figure out which were recent. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Even before recent issues with this site, I noticed that after a certain time in the early morning hours, even if there were new posts, when you hit the New Posts button, that message comes up.

It happens to me all the time, with both Firefox and IE. In fact, I made a post about it a couple months ago.

I don't know. I'm trying to give them some extra time to figure out the site slowdown because they just switched their servers. However, it's still really slow to load the homepage and to submit posts for me, so I'll contact them again. I'd say it could be a vB problem, but that doesn't really make sense that it would just start having problems, even if it is an old version of vB. Changing to vB 3.5 or 3.6 might be something I have to do before the end of the year, eventhough it's a pain in the *** with all the modifications I've done to the site over the years. We'll see.
