Anyone been having trouble getting onto this site? Several times, most recently last night till now, I’ve gotten a “This Service is Unavailable” page when I’ve tried to access the forum. Any idea what this could be about.

Apparently they were considering removing you from the site, but decided to give you one more chance. big grin

Yes, I’ve experienced the same. But even worse for me is that I can no longer log on on my laptop. The log-in spaces just clear and the log-in box resets. See my thread a little bit down. I can only use my iPhone….frown

Yeah. It's been down all morning.
Apparently they were removing all Toto's Monty Python memes, which were clogging up the board wink

I’m not so sure about that, Ned. Chiefly because I wasn’t logged in when these occurrences happened (yes, I see you’re joking, but still).

Yes, it goes down from time to time. More frequently the last few months.

Yep, that is funny. So was Damian's statement.

The board was down for a while.

If I search for a topic with the search engine, I may eventually find it buried in a lot of non relevant topics. Anyone else having this problem?

I almost never rely on the boards search engine. Best to use Duck Duck Go, Google, whatever you use and search topics starting with a subject followed by FSM or Film Score Monthly in the search box. That's how I find old posts 99% of the time.

Multi-word topics search best when enclosed in quotation marks.

If you are searching for John Powell and you type in John Powell, you will have to sift it out of every reference to John Williams, John Barry, and any other John (and any other Powell).

But if you type in "John Powell", the results will be limited to John Powell.

One other thing. Even if you set the search instructions to say "Search Within: Topics" (as opposed to, say, 2019 posts), every search is now a full text search through all posts for all years. You can no longer limit your search to just topic/subject headings.

Thank you all for your advice.

Yeah, it happens to me, too. Extremely likely Lukas or somebody is just doing work on the site on their end. We'll just have to wait to unleash our obscure nerdy brilliance on each other at later times. ;-)

Well the adventure continues. I couldn't establish a connection to FSM with Safari, but I was able to establish a connection with Fire Fox. roll eyes
