Hello,
I don't know if this is relevant here but I came accros an error when using the searchengine from your forum and I got this :
Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0113'
Script timed out
/forum/search.asp
The maximum amount of time for a script to execute was exceeded. You can change this limit by specifying a new value for the property Server.ScriptTimeout or by changing the value in the IIS administration tools.
I hope the forum admin/modurators read this.

This must be really a server problem, as there have been some errors with other pages. It has been happening rather randomly these days.
There is nothing wrong with the forum code.

unforyunately the search page is prone to do this, it is after all searching through a large volume of information. The other recent issues were caused by a dodgy DNS serve crashing the SMTP server this causing the forum to stall (it sends over 2000 subscription emails every day)

Thanks for the quick reply.
I haven't studied the search.asp forum code yet. But there must be something that we all can do to change the load the server gets when searching through such a large amount of information.
Maybe breaking things down in smaller parts... (just a suggestion)
I'll have a look in de code of search.asp.

It could most likely be improved a little, but not that much, it would be best not done by the asp at all, which is something I may look into for here, the forum gets busier by the day, we have already had to move the subscription code out of the forum and into a DLL as the forum could no longer cope with the amount mail it was having to send each time someone posts.

or you could just add a lie to change the servertimeout, its quite reasonable that a search of so much data should take a while..

Unfortunately, it is not just as simple as that, on a busy website, it would only succeed in tying up the resources longer, causing more people to fail.

NO, there was a problem with the SMTP server which took me a few days to track down, it was causing disk errors and stalling the processor. It turned out to be the DNS server, it was sending currupt records to the mail server.

Couldn`t be the search page. I`am getting the error with the search page most times I search for archived topics since there has been done some changes on it.

The posting error is defintatel still related to the mail, what is happening is the NT mail service is processing the mail at the same time someone is posting, this is causing a page lock error in the subs table, I will tweak the app so it doesn't lock it so long.
for your search in the archive, try narrowing your criteria a little, by selecting a specific forum, there are 100000 records in the archive.
