I mean why does this forum have a non functioning search button, a forever waiting time for posts to submit successfully, and a deteriorationg edit function.
If a forum is made of bits and bytes then what's leaking away to make things non funtional. DBB.COM uses the same PHPBB and works like a new car compared to this site.
Not trying to be funny, just looking to satisfy my curiosity.

Honestly there has to be something wrong with either the server configuration, the database itself, or the hacks that KB put in the forum software a long time back that causes it. I know this because this forum is simply not big enough to have these types of issues, the software can easily be demonstrated scaling quite well into many millions of posts, far more than this particular forum has.

I have spoken to Richard and Krom concerning the sad state of affairs here. I am sorry I thought I shouldn't have been away so long.
Krom has offered his time to do the back end upgrade while I work on the front end. I have already started working on the new templates for the new version.
I will try to get it looking as close to what is there now.
Hopefully within the next week or two the process will start in earnest.
