This breaks every time Carlos so much as looks at the forum configuration. I don't know why it's always so hard to get right

And the pointless 60 second search limit...
They've been there since the beginning of time. I doubt they'll change.

I especially hate the search limit when you notice you made a typo right after you hit enter, and have to do something else in the meantime just to wait for it to time out.
I spend 40% of my day waiting for the 60 seconds to pass.

I've just seen this thread (I was a bit busy - anyone knows what they were saying? I think I walked across while they where trying to take a picture
)
Anyway, I just sent an email to Carlos, but in case anyone here has access to the forum back-end, here is what needs to be changed:
Should be:
The specific values can be tweaked of course - those seem to look ok at 1280x800 (MacBook), particularly the max-height, to avoid double-scrolling. It could be a bit smaller too, perhaps 550px or even 500.

Hah! Cool! Looks like the statue outside my front door: Mt. Cristo Rey (random google) [edit] I'm not ignorant of Cristo Redentor. Just trying to pipe up about our local mini-version. [/edit]
I think you helped Carlos rid us of the evil code boxes last time if I remember correctly. Thank you again!

This problem occurs because of the following:
1) Forum software needs updating (ie security holes, etc) So I update.
2) Each forum update will usually require an update to the forum theme, which contains dozens and dozens of templates.
3) Updating process overwrites old templates
4) I forget all the custom "mods" that we have here to keep the masses happy

Anyhow, thanks Ignacio,

That's there to reduce the load on the server. A large forum run on a dedicated server might not need it, but since we run on a VPS we do.

Either way I'm going to have to search....... What's the difference if it's now or 60 seconds from now?

I am assuming you follow the recommend procedure of backing up the system before updating so can you not just look at the previous version and apply the fixes?
