only you can see it
When, a few months before his death, Rachmaninov lamented that he no longer had the "strength and fire" to compose, friends reminded him of the Symphonic Dances, so charged with fire and strength. "Yes," he admitted. "I don't know how that happened. That was probably my last flicker."

I have noticed that if you edit a post likes are reset. That seems reasonable.

I love how much faster/more responsive the site is!

Thank you Rob!

Initial reflections:

Arghhhh. What have they done to my favourite music forum??? It is broken! I hate it. Stupid changes that are pointless, annoying and unnecessarily different!!

Further reflections:

I guess it is probably OK. I still mostly hate it though.

Latest reflections:

What did the old site look like, again? I wonder if there are any new posts on the less posted composers that I like?
"A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people ... then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbour — such is my idea of happiness"

I think we need a chortle button, to go with the like button. :)

And of course a table-pounding button.

I just tried it with three different words and it didn't work for any.

What words did you try? I tried about a dozen searches within specific threads and boards.

Examples:
"Orfeo" on the opera thread
"Putin" in the Diner section
"Richter" on the Great Recordings and Reviews board
"vinyl" on the entire forum
"arpeggio" on the Composing and Performing board
"Thelonious" on the Jazz board
"Goedicke" on the "What are you listening to now" thread for something a bit more esotieric

In all cases, results returned in less than 1 second and all seemed highly relevant and restricted to the forum/board or thread I specified.

Can others check the Search function (the search box at the top right of the page) and report back.

Searching "search" in this thread gives me the following result:

I got lots of hits for "search" from this thread.

Can others report too?

I will look into different member group permissions.

It seems to be working okay for me.

Edit: I should probably add I was using search from the menu.
