Demigod Forum Search Feature not working consistently

from Demigod Forums
An issue I am currently having with the Demigod forums is that the search functionality doesn't seem to work.  I try searching for a user or a particular term that i know will be in a post (for example, torchbearer) and the search provides zero results.  I know this isn't an issue now, but when the posts start building up it definitely will be.

On a side note, I did a search for Demigod and found quite a few results, so it seems to be a bit hit and miss.

p.s. I am not sure where to put this as there doesn't seem to be a "Demigod Forum Support" forum, please move it if there is a better place for it.

I'd like to add a few more observations:

Searching for members and their posts is very difficult (please pm me if you know a good way).

For whatever reason, I can't upload an Avatar regardless of pixel size (tried 50x50, 48x48, 50+X50+ etc)All i get is a Bad Request error.

When viewing recent posts, it would be nice to be able to have a filter. In other words, while on the Demigodthegame site, I'd like to see (or click an option) to only see new posts that originate from this forum (not stardock, impulse, PC games, Sins, etc etc).

Yeah, we could really use a shared Site Issues forum.

At present there is none. But its being worked on.

Call it bad timing. We're moving some data around today in order to increase our scalability, and you just happened to catch us in the middle of that. That function should be restored by the end of the day.

Yeah that confuses a lot of people when they first have a look at our system. Well, for those who notice anyhow. It's actually one of the benifits to it. When two or more forums share a category, you get input from many different sources. Just because someone happens to be on a nother site, doesnt mean they dont have good input about a topic. Our posts arent separated by sites, theyre separated by category/forum. We've had that in place for many many years now and sorting posts based upon the site it was originated from isn't something that we do with the data. Sorry.

andrew_, is there any chance the Last Post info on the forum view could be changed to Last Reply info? Last Post is often useless to tell if there's new conversation to engage in.

@andrew_ Thanks for the quick response. I'll keep trying the avatar function and look forward to whatever updates may arise in the forums.
