    I'm talking about the forum search, not the CCOM commercial site search.

    Ok, I cleared my cache on desktop Chrome and search didn't work. I also can't search on desktop Brave browser. I even disabled my Pi-hole DNS blocker with no luck.

    It doesn't work on my phone running the Duck Duck Go browser either on my local Wi-Fi or on my mobile carrier.

    Looks like a Vanilla Forum problem, @TheCigarChick.

    Anyone else experiencing issues searching the forum? I was having trouble searching the forum to find the right thread to post this.

    Thank you for clarifying, @Yakster. When you said "CCOM search is down" I went into an absolute panic because commercial site search being down is a HUGE problem. (Been there, done that, have the t-shirt.)

    I've gone ahead and submitted a ticket to the folks at Vanilla. Will report back.

    Okay guys, the traditional Search functionality is back in business. The folks at Vanilla did speak to me about how the reindexing works since the Forum has been around for so many years, and when searching, it will always prioritize newer content over older content, fyi.

    Had a side chat with @Yakster about Advanced Search and just dropped my tech contact at Vanilla a note about it seemingly having disappeared, and thus trying to get it back.

    Hope you all had a great weekend :smile: ,

    Advanced Search is back... B) Vanilla, like yours truly, had quite the eventful Friday. They forgot to toggle the switch back to allow for Advanced Search after drilling down to find the problem with search overall.

    I had problems pulling up posts on the site this morning, now it's working but the images aspect ratios are off, they all look like the width of the pictures have been stretched now.

    I was also having problems earlier today. pictures were taking FOREVER to load and certain posts would bring up an error screen. Seems to be working ok to me now though.

    @TheCigarChick is there anyone who can look at the image problem? The new ones are all being stretched to fit the window making them look terrible.

    I’ve not been seeing any of the image issues, but I’m on an iPad. Maybe it’s an issue with the desktop version.

    Looks like Frank doesn't have this issue. Maybe he uses a mac?

    On my Chromebook, if I right-click on a photo and choose 'Open in a new tab', the new tab displays the photo without stretching.

    Anyone know an admin that can look at the forum settings?

    I don't know that's a priority for STG. Would be nice, though.

    I set the aspect ratio on my phone to 9x16 and took this picture sideways. Seems to help a little.

    @RickRickerRickest or @SmileyCigar can you help these guys out?
