no permission?
Thank you, I tried the link from Quick Links, but "you do not have permission to access this page"
I've been away for several weeks and am very out of touch. I depend on New Posts for a scan of what's happening when I can't read all of my categories.
I feel very lonely and disconnected as well as not up to speed.

There's an Announcement at the top of every Forum which states:

thank you, pb9997
Sometimes we overlook the obvious. Google found my lost thread about good restaurants in Munich, I'm all happy now. Thanks for the reminder.
[QUOTE=pb9997]Are you aware that meanwhile Google does provide, one way or the other, this feature ? Example below.

Count me as one who can't wait for the board to go back to the way it was.

Yes, we know the board is still intermittently slow, but not as bad as it was with search turned on.
Right now we are waiting for the php developers to release a new stable version of PHP which we believe will resolve most problems.

Finding the right search on google, not being able to search for anything within the last week, not being able to search for today's posts, not being able to search easily for ones own posts, etc, all makes this board take ages longer to use. If the board takes a few 1/10s of a sec longer, we can do something else in the meantime. All the pain of searching via google or linearly or not at all takes real, human time, not just waiting time.
Secondly, we were told search would be back by Monday. I held off searching for things until then, only to find it still not back.
