NYYYAAARRRGH!!!!
Search will be offline until further notice. We can't have the database continually down, since then there's nothing to search for!
Todays outage was due to the fact that MYSQL decided that optimizing the entries table means deleting and recreating the fulltext index, which we know takes around 8 hours. Its not even like this is a slow machine (dual pentium 850, dual SCSI 160).
So, until I can move the search stuff to a seperate database (probably Friday) it'll be switched off.
Sorry, but without fulltext indexes its so slow it locks up deardiary. With fulltext indexes it kills the whole server.

OK, I understand it is turned off, but is there another way to go read someones entry? I assume through a link if someone has linked it to theirs, or else grab it as it floats past the recent updated ones> Any other method? Or use your notification records?

Of course, that doesn't help if you don't remember exactly what the user name was. Witchgrl led me on a merry chase until I remembered there was no "i" in girl!
Still, desparate times call for desparate measures. I displayed a week's worth of entries and then scrolled down until I found her!

Just a question.
Is there a LOGOUT button anywhere? I use the computers at the library and once I login to DearDiary it keeps me. I would like a way to logout so no one else can stubble on my page and change things.
