you're not logged out of the forums- see:

Basically, there are two backends to the site. Wordpress runs the "main" site, phpbb runs the forum. Unlike the old version, the wordpress install and the phpbb install are pretty loosely coupled. The site developers have a bunch of code that they wrote to unify these two parts of the site, but right now it's basically all turned off to minimize the number of things that could go wrong during the cutover, and they'll be added back in somewhat slowly.


this is from over a month ago though, and for the most part they haven't been added back yet for some reason.


EDIT: so i just searched again after i posted this, one hit i clicked on DID log me out, and another one said i was permabanned, and a ban was issued on my IP!!

yikes. :? tried once more and all was back to normal.

Search doesn't work for me either. It just returns a page with "Search Results" at the top, but the space below it is entirely blank. There is a list of "Active Discussions" with links to the right, but none of these go to threads that are relevant to what I searched for.

This is not when searching for obscure words or quoted phrases, but for simple words like "friendship", "frustration", etc. that I know appear in the forums tens if not hundreds of times (but are also not SO common that I think the list of results is overwhelming some program on the server because it's too long).

I have had NO problem with the "Search" function. I, TOO, get a page that says "Search Results", with it being totally blank, underneath----and the "Active Discussions", to the right----then, I have waited at least a MINUTE, for the results to show-up. Sometime, try waiting a little longer (I play solitaire, while I'm waiting), and see if it works, then.
