So is this where we complain now? This has always been a problem, and it should be fixed....

The search function/interface is TRASH. I'm trying to find a recent thread about Barry Trotz on the NHL forum.

I'm not sure how a comparison of him to Mike Babcock from 2018 is the most 'Relevant' result but whatever. The bigger point is you should be able to quickly sort by Date, to find most recent threads with his name in the title.

Instead you have to go into the terrible, very non-intuitve Advanced Search interface and click a bunch of times and tick a few boxes just to do the simple search.


You can change the default search to "Most recent" in preferences: https://forums.hfboards.com/account/preferences

Over the last few days, when I'm browsing a thread, a McAfee virus scanner box will pop up on the screen. The poor grammar would suggest it's a scam. If you click elsewhere on the page another box pops up saying "Scan in Progress" (it isn't - it's just a trick to get you to click the Stop button in the box at which point I expect something unpleasant will occur).

It hasn't happened to me on any other sites I browse. I use Chrome on a desktop PC.

Anybody else had this happen?

Part of the database issues and still being looked at.
I don't know if this will help at all and I may be remembering incorrectly because I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but...

There was someone on the Canucks board who thought they lost their account to the crash so they made a new one with only a few posts. Their old account still existed so it got merged with their new account. (https://forums.hfboards.com/members/jvh.403102/)

Before the merge the old account had post count and reaction scores missing from the past year. (I think only around 5250 posts)
After the merge it showed a much higher number for both, presumably correctly updating the totals for both. (over 6000 posts)

There is something like 9,000 threads with the lost posts. They recovered them but I believe sniper said something about each individual thread needing to be reviewed and moved. It’s just not a priority right now. Just getting the forum back to the functionality we have has been hours of hours of work. Every time one thing gets fixed the fix breaks something else. Still lots broken that’s visible like imagines and a lot more not visible things in the back ground.
