I guess you arent aware of how much money homeless meth heads make. So much for how much you know about life.

What the fuck is up with the site lately? The search function doesn't work, there's no advanced search function at all.

I haven't used the search function for ages but it's been spoken about as problematic for a long time. Pretty much all Xenforo sites I know of are problematic with searching and using Google works much better.
But I have noticed a real slowness with the site. Loading of pages is usually pretty good it's the calling of pages between clicking the link and where it starts loading. I also see the loading/thinking icons pop up a bit in the top right corner. Unlike where it used to be where images and embedded videos slowed pages down it seems to be a fetching error, but without seeing the server logs it's impossible to tell where the hold up is.

But the option to do an advanced search is literally no longer there. Has it been moved and I'm just too retarded to find it?

You're just too re....oooh
Isn't this the 'advanced search' on this site (other sites vary with the information but I seem to remember this being usual for here)

Yeah that's it but where did you find it? It used to be near the search bar but for me it's no longer there.

Oh ok, yeah I first went there too and saw nothing but wasn't sure if I remembered it being there.
I found it via the "Forums" link in the Nav bar under the UM banner (assuming you're on a desktop, I'm not sure about mobile viewing)
The second link under the Forums link is "search forums" that link should take you to the advanced page.

When I click in the search field, I get a drop-down menu of recently searched terms--no advanced search option.
I wonder if it has something to do with cookies? Are my searches interfering with the site's functionality? I'm very illiterate when it comes to this, but I've also been having issues with it.

Usually when I design pages I design for about 6 different resolutions and some smaller phone screens slip through the cracks but it's generally small screens x2, bigger phones, tablets, laptops and then everything bigger. On my laptop I can click in the search and get the advanced search options (didn't know that until today so it shows how often I search), but not sure if your screens are higher res than mine therefore giving different results. I could look at the code but honestly I can't be fucked.

I see that in Firefox which I usually use, but if I switch to Google Chrome then I just see recent searches as @Einherjar86 described. Maybe a recent update to Chrome has a disagreement with how the advanced search popup works.

Just got an email that Patti Smith's tour is cancelled. That was the last ticket of hope I was hanging onto through this whole fucking shit.
At least if I manage to go meet my niece in Melbourne for the first time around her 2nd birthday I won't be worried about needing to get back the following week.
