    Probably because the search function appears to be momentarily borked.

    This search could not be completed, please try again later.

    Tried using a subject, and then by user name.

    We moved to a new server. Interruptions if any, should be temporary. Everything back to normal now @Poppy or still ongoing?

    I still can't access My Content. Everything else seems to work, I think.

    Working to turn the search function back on. It's a server level process so a bit more complicated than flipping a switch on the XenForo control panel.

    Not familiar with the system, but am presuming the Search function and My Content are connected - akin to an automated search with user name only.

    Only stumbled upon it when Poppy mentioned the My Content problem, so I tried a User Name search.

    Best of luck, and Thank You for all the hard work you put into this board.

    My ability to delete spammers is either intermittent or localized.

    It's called a "favicon", because you can remember your favorites by recognizing their icon.

    honestly, a 'favicon'?
    too lazy to look it up, but I'll take your word.

    Two problems..
    1. I have over 1,000 bookmarks...it would be easier to learn to read Chinese.

    2. Cells are not bookmark friendly, and I only have a few on mine.

    Favicons only show up at the top of your screen, so when you get a lot of tabs open you still have a clue where WW2F is. Just a small help, but some people find them useful.

    Carved out a dedicated thread for the search function errors associated with the server move.

    Search function is back up, but not the potent Elasticsearch iteration of it, but enough to get us by for now. Elasricsearch is monstrously superior, but it's not compatible with XenForo 1.x and it's not worth the engineering time to make work for now. Most other problems associated with the search function should would as expected, or close to it anyways.

    Much heavy lifting being done on server setups and migrations prior to software upgrades. Most of this forumites will not be aware of other than things like this search function problem like this one here. A few more moves to complete and we will execute the next steps. :D

    Nope...They show up aside of bookmarks in Firefox when the bookmarks sidebar is open. And they show up aside of bookmarks when I open bookmarks in Google Chrome on my cell.

    I've had 15-20 tabs open on my laptop, but never paid attention to the favicons.
