plums Posted March 20, 2020 I can't seem to search for things right now, and the user activity on most but not all profiles is blank. I don't see another post about this, I would seach for it, but... 6 Share this post Link to post
TheNoob_Gamer Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) I get this all the time when I'm digging a random member's profile or when I want to search for something on this site. Usually it's due to server/forum software issues (most likely) or my shitty internet connection. 0 Share this post Link to post
Billy Baron Posted March 20, 2020 Yea, it looks like a low quality YouTube video, IMHO. Maybe they should put up a higher quality stream =) ЗФБ 0 Share this post Link to post
seed Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) It's just the forum working only when it wants to. Yesterday I was searching for something and the search function utterly refused to return any results. I occasionally see no content on profiles as well, but I rarely visit profiles. 0 Share this post Link to post
Jaws In Space Posted March 20, 2020 Yeah I've been having this problem recently as well. Also for me the status updates page is working intermittently lately. 1 Share this post Link to post
Redneckerz Posted March 20, 2020 I use this intensly. What happens on multi page results is sometimes page 24 can't be found, but 23 (out of 30) did. This occurs often. 1 Share this post Link to post
Senor500 Posted March 20, 2020 As of now, I never got any results when searching. Profile activities also appear blank for me, even mine, not once I managed to get search going. Although, probably my internet? I don't know but right now it's running bad at a speed of 100kb/s tops. 1 Share this post Link to post
Pegleg Posted March 20, 2020 I've noticed this over the past 2 or 3 days, whenever I've tried to do a search, it comes back that no results can be found and to be more general with my search terms. I don't think it's an internet-specific problem. I've had that happen at my computer at work (I just checked); I can do an internet speed test and have download speeds of 20 Mbps. It's probably something within the database structure or something like that on the server side, although I could be wrong. This isn't my area of expertise. 1 Share this post Link to post
seed Posted March 20, 2020 Ye, I think the search function has gone completely bonkers these days. I've been searching for things as simple as "soundfont" today and the damn thing never wants to return anything. Like, ever... 0 Share this post Link to post

Vorpal Posted March 20, 2020 "Unread Content" has also been broken for a few days 4 Share this post Link to post
Arbys550 Posted March 21, 2020 I was just wondering about this myself. It does not work for me. 0 Share this post Link to post
Redneckerz Posted March 23, 2020 Strolling through your own content now returns a blank page. The same is true for any search term now. Even the Doomworld Search now stays indoors. 1 Share this post Link to post
Gokuma Posted March 23, 2020 If you know which subforum to search, I suggest going there and doing a search confined to "this forum." 0 Share this post Link to post
TheNoob_Gamer Posted March 24, 2020 If by some reason you want to check a member's recent posts, go to that member's activity (the button is on the upper right of the profile), and choose "topics" or "posts". That works for me. 1 Share this post Link to post

I meant the button "topics" and/or "posts" under the "Forum" section of the "See their/your activity" button on the upper right of any person's profile. 0 Share this post Link to post

Why I can't find my "lost civilization" project on files? https://www.doomworld.com/search/?q=Lost civilization&type=downloads_file Because you should be using the /idgames entry instead. The Files feature has been in beta for a long time, issues there are unrelated to the current search problems. 0 Share this post Link to post
Lila Feuer Posted March 25, 2020 Shit is broken confirmed. Can't even view my own search history, or find anything from/for anyone/thing else. 0 Share this post Link to post
Billy Baron Posted March 27, 2020 The "Reveal Hidden Contents" wasn't hidden when the page loaded, like when your neighbor is nude in front of a window. It didn't hide itself until the page loaded a little more. 1 Share this post Link to post
Denim Destroyer Posted March 27, 2020 I have been experiencing similar issues for the last few days. I do want to bring up another issue, everytime I attempt to download a file from the Texas idgames mirror I get a URL not found error. 0 Share this post Link to post

Master O Posted April 12, 2020 As far as I can tell, search is still not working correctly. 1 Share this post Link to post
Redneckerz Posted April 12, 2020 1 hour ago, Master O said: As far as I can tell, search is still not working correctly. I found a crude workaround: Go to someones profile (using you as example) Click the Content tab. It will be empty. There is a dropdown menu, Content Type. In there, you can select either Posts or Topics. These two will search what a user has posted and work. So, crude, but it works. 1 Share this post Link to post

Another workaround is to go to google and type "site:doomworld.com <search term>" It kinda works if you know what you are looking for. 1 Share this post Link to post
