Problem viewing search result topics

HI, bug report perhaps…

Searching for “bumper bolts” in the forum search (top right of screen via magnifying glass button), clicked on a result and it pops up the thread briefly. Then the screen goes blank and there is a spinning busy icon. Along the top I see a thin blue progress bar which never seems to reach the right hand side of the screen. I have left it quite a while (5 minutes) and still cannot see the thread.

It was my bad. We were taking a server backup. I still had on a fairly extensive backup of the server running multiple times a day. I have since optimized and streamlined the backups.

When you are building a new system, sometimes things go really wrong and bad. Backups provide a do-over timestamp.

As a side note. What the heck is the blue bar?

The Blue Bar
The blue bar indicates the server is busy and your computer is in a retry mode. If I see the blue bar, I wait a couple of seconds and click the “X” and do a refresh of the screen.

Why the Blue Bar - Technical Stuff
The new site is built different than the old website. The new website is built like Gmail. The website downloads a small application to your browser. The browser runs the application on your computer. When the local application needs information, it makes a request to the server for data. If the server does not answer, the application goes into a wait and retry mode. It indicates this with the blue bar.
