    The forum search db doesn't seem to be updating properly at the moment, so it's not showing up newish threads/posts even though they actually do exist.

    I've noticed this when clicking someone's user name and clicking "find more posts by this user"

    Just today I clicked on someone who has a post count of 12 and it said it found no posts; same for someone with a post count of 20; someone with a post count of 3 it only found one of her posts.

    I have found this over the past couple of days as well, when trying to search threads I know I have posted on, wont show me last posts by me. It seems to be a day or so behind?
