Fodor's Travel Talk Forums - Scrolling topic box

Susan -- They probably don't have time to answer every e-mail on the subject, but they has posted this elsewhere on the site....

The re-indexing of the thousands of threads and posts to Travel Talk since its inception in 1996 has taken a little longer than we expected, but it’s just about complete. The tech crew has asked to have the rest of this evening to run some tests to make sure everything is running properly before we bring search back online. (They asked so nicely and they’ve been working so hard, it seemed churlish to refuse!) So, if you’ll be so kind as to indulge us until tomorrow morning, we should have the search function operating by then. Thanks for your patience and for visiting Travel Talk. And, again, our apologies for any inconvenience the re-indexing has caused. Yours truly, Danny Mangin Editorial Director Fodors.com P.S.: For those of you who haven’t seen the earlier note, here it is: Hello All -- Any of you trying to do a search will notice that the text- and subject-search boxes have disappeared. This is only temporary, and we apologize for the inconvenience. We added an extra server this morning and are having a few database-related troubles as a result. We need to re-index the entire forums, which will take until tomorrow. So that our loyal Travel Talk regulars won’t have to go through withdrawals twice in the same week (we do feel your pain), we’re going to keep Travel Talk running, but without search. You can still read and post, however. Sorry again for the difficulties. We hope to have the problems cleared up soon. Yours truly, Danny Mangin Editorial Director Fodors.com
