Probably part of the ongoing experiments to try and keep 'Poly up for more than a few hours.

I noticed Civ Fanatics had their search function disabled as well, at least for a time.

It automatically shuts down when the forum is busy, IIRC. Like avatars.

Speaking of that, when will avatars come back?

I plan on re-enabling the "Search" function as soon as Apolyton's hosts, RackShack, installs the requested memory upgrade (see http://apolyton.net/about for related discussion).

So the situation is really bad, huh?

When you reenable the search function, can we hope for it to search the archives too ?

So what is preventing you from upgrading this site to 2.3.2?

Apolyton has been customized to death. By upgrading, ALL those customizations are lost. Going to 2.3.2 isn't worth that price.

Given that "really bad" is a subjective assessment to an extent, I will say that the reasoning behind the disabling at this time is a reflection of both present circumstances and trying to be as cautious as possible for the immediate future.

Suffice to say that the situation right now is pressing enough such that it was felt that the measure cited above would be prudent. See "Open Letter From The Administration (2)" at http://apolyton.net/about for a related report.

Given that fact, no upgrade is likely untill MarkG has more time on his hands. What ever it is that he is doing.

He is in the army on military service. They tend to be strict about not letting him spend all his time working on Apolyton.

Many (including GP!) have already made that joke.

But even if Markos had quite a lot of free time, it is no exaggeration to say that an upgrade would be a very daunting and time-consuming prospect. 2.3.2 would have to have significant advantages for Markos to even consider a move to it (and having to port every customisation to the new software).

Didn't we have an upgrade once before. I seem to remember something about it. But maybe I'm wrong.

Ok, weigh that up against the security exploits with this version of vb2.

Considering the hundreds of hours put into all this stuff... I don't see it getting erased for an upgrade.

The memory upgrade is, at last, complete. The "Search" function should be re-enabled sometime this evening, ~24 hours after the memory upgrade was finished, barring any further extended downtimes.

So we need to wait about another 12 hours then everything would be ok?

And does this mean the Poly downtime would be a thing of the past? Lately the downtime became much more unbearable for me.
