Edit: Forum search is also broken for me since last week (doesn't show older posts than mid-July ?) - at least this (AHK-specific Google) search still works: https://www.autohotkey.com/search
yes, wow, this is bad
broken, 0 results found
meanwhile, google site:autohotkey.com/boards unreachable, 208 results found

problem is, google doesnt index every page, so gl finding some obscure posts...

Okay, I saw that in the ACP we can rebuild the search index. I am not sure which search backend we are using but I started the rebuild the Phpbb fulltext search, it till take about 2 hrs.
If that doesn't help, I will rebuild the sphinx search index as well.

As for slowing down, it looks like the firewall might be acing up again. I will contact tank about what he did last time to fix this.

@joedf, I am not getting email notifications. I checked my spam folder. Is this still an open issue? Thank you for your help.

Yes, I believe that it is related to the firewall. I am just waiting for the forum search index to finish rebuilding. I will then contact tank to take a look.

@joedf, @tank :
Major problem - I can't do anything moderator-related. I am locked out of the moderator panel - it just goes blank, when clicked. (Same for administration panel.)
I can't approve posts or topics.
I can't open my messages either, I can't send messages - the page just goes blank.
I can't use the "i" - information button of posts - blank. Delete button --> blank.
When trying to report a post, I get the dialog, but then the same error like swagfag. But the report has gone through - i can see that this post is now reported, but not the report itself (View report --> blank).
'Contact us' button --> blank. And so on...

More people are reporting the same things.

A few hours ago, it still worked.

I get an HTTP error 500 when trying to go to the User Control Panel. I'm a relatively new user here and don't know if I have to be registered for a certain amount of time before being allowed access, or if it's part of the issues you all have been having.

Sorry to add to the list.

@RussF: I can see your post (like the rest of the staff, I suppose), but can't approve it at this moment.
Your problem (User Control Panel errors out) is most likely related to the general problems we are seeing...

Thanks for the feedback!
