Over the last few days, 80%+ of the time I try a search the browser just sits there on "waiting for flyertalk.com" after I click search. Are there problems again?

It does work sporadically.

What is most frustrating is that after a few hours of periodically clicking search every few minutes with no success, it finally goes through and then gives me the whole "you can only search once every 15 seconds and must wait 6 seconds to search again" message. I hadn't had a successful/completed search all day. Of course, when I try again 10 seconds later it just hangs on "waiting for flyertalk.com".

Also, if there is a problem, do the moderators still have access to fast/reliable search? I may need to rely on one of them to find a thread for me.
