Recently it seems that "New messages" (i.e. "since I last checked"), unless it has only been a couple of hours as well as "Last Day" and similar searches just result in a blank screen. It makes it hard to keep up with the board ... tracking through all the topics is much more tedious.

Are other people having this problem or is it just me?

Yup, when I check the Board using the "Last Day" button, I also often get a blank screen. It also sometimes happens when I go "back' after clicking on a thread.

The MOL search feature is not working properly. It times out before loading any "recent" posts.

I've noticed it more lately - I'll try to look into this issue. I usually check the last few hours, that has been working ok.

On heavy traffic days (many posts, many people reading) "last day" hic-cups. Try to plug in hours instead.

Search by Last Day hasn't worked for me for about a week....I've tried early morning and late night too. I am using 12 hour search instead

I just tried it (successfully!) after an even longer period of spotty (at best) performance, including the page either only partially loading or declaring itself "Done" with nothing on the page at all. The problem seems exacerbated by actually posting something or using a posted link to another site, then trying to return via the "Back" button. Dunno the cause. Thought it was my modem...
