Brian Joined: Feb 25, 2006 Posts: 19297 Des Moines, Iowa, USA	Posted on Sep 17 2013 08:31 PM Thanks! I got a fix for the search issue and quotes. Unfortunately I have to rebuild the search index and you clowns have now posted over 265,000 posts, so it takes a while to churn through your data. I ran out of time tonight but sometime soon I'll take the site down for an hour or so to do this. Thanks Noel for bringing the issue up. — Site dude - S3 Agent #202 Need help with the site?

Brian Joined: Feb 25, 2006 Posts: 19297 Des Moines, Iowa, USA	Posted on Sep 20 2013 10:06 PM I need to take the site offline tomorrow morning to rebuild the search index.

Posted on Sep 21 2013 10:29 AM When I entered this search string - "Hawaiian" music - this is the search string that got executed: http://surfguitar101.com/search/?q=%22hawaiian%22+music&models=forums.topic and this is the result: Results for ""Hawaiian" music" page 1 of 1 3 hits Topic: Hawaiian surf music.....kinda! by Ron-Rhoades; 3 posts (22-Oct-2009) (50) Topic: Hawaiian Surf Music Scene by echobeach; 6 posts (24-Jun-2007) (50) Topic: surf music--is it bad for hawaiian shirts?????? by Anonymous; 37 posts (09-Apr-2007) (50) It works great.

Brian Joined: Feb 25, 2006 Posts: 19297 Des Moines, Iowa, USA	Posted on Dec 30 2013 08:44 PM I'll have SG101 up on blocks and offline for a period, probably Tuesday afternoon (CST) for some maintenance. You can check the SG101 Twitter feed for status updates. This reminds me that I need to put a surf video or YouTube playlist up on the maintenance page. Or a link to NSSR or something. — Site dude - S3 Agent #202 Need help with the site? SG101 FAQ - Send me a private message - Email me "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea Top

Brian Joined: Feb 25, 2006 Posts: 19297 Des Moines, Iowa, USA	Posted on Jan 04 2014 01:19 PM I'm rebuilding the search index in the background, so the site might be a little sluggish. The search function will be disabled during this time also. Should hopefully take about 1.5 - 2 hours. — Site dude - S3 Agent #202 Need help with the site?

Teiscofan Joined: Feb 21, 2011 Posts: 513 Ontario	Posted on Jul 06 2014 07:39 AM Thanks Brian, had to ask. Figured it was the tablet. — I am not obsolete, I am RETRO.... Top
Brian Joined: Feb 25, 2006 Posts: 19297 Des Moines, Iowa, USA	Posted on Jul 06 2014 12:40 PM Well based on our previous conversation it is probably the default browser on your tablet. It's pretty much garbage. Get Firefox or Chrome. Good luck! — Site dude - S3 Agent #202 Need help with the site?
