Epic Character Builds - Search Engine Down?

[Legacy_MrZork]

               Is anyone else having trouble getting to some of the results from the Epic Character Builds Search Engine? I am able to do the searches, but only some of the resulting links are functional. For example, let's say I was trying to track down the "Generic Rakshasa w/ Dragon Shape" druid/shifter/monk build that FinneousPJ posted some time ago. I search for that class combo and 24 matches come up. When I click on that one, I just get a blank page. Many (most?) of the builds work (such as Avado's build, which is the first result on the page), but many do not.

Obviously, I can get to most of the builds using google cache (for example, though some of the content is wonky). But, that's a marginal workaround, since 1) google's cache doesn't last for long and 2) some of the best content of the ECB is the discussion, which often goes on for several pages and is harder to find with google.

Has anyone else seen this?

               Yeah, I have the same problem.  My builds are not showing up.

               The_Krit, who is the keeper of the search engine, is aware of the issue, which I noticed and about which I notified him already some time ago. He'll look into it. He also has backed up the whole of the ECB guild shortly before the hackers attack, so the most recent builds have been saved too. Just be patient.

               Excellent! Thanks for the update. And, of course, thanks to The_Krit for maintaining this great resource.

Now....don't you go believing all that bull jive.  TK will just tell you a little birdy mentioned it, as if a turkey vulture could EVER be called a little ANYTHING.

TK knows we kid...but he is a very smart person who does things out of habit, basically because computers FAIL....sometimes more often than we care to admit.  redundancy is the key to happiness.

               Kudos to The_Krit who promptly fixed the issues with the search engine not linking correctly a few builds! Soon enough the search engine and guild archive will be updated to its most recent version. All hail The_Krit!

               The search engine at http://www.gustaver.se/nwn/ still seems to be down.

               the search engine itself is functional.  the problem is that the builds on this search engine point to the old bioware page which was taken down after the hacker attack.  

recommend that you use the_krit's new search engine at http://home.comcast....wk/buildsearch/  which has the builds archived on the wog server page (rather than referencing them from the old bioware page).  so the builds there do show up properly.  s.

               Quick link: There is the "working" one, by The_Krit (the one mentionned above by mysticjester), in my list in my signature, tips N°24 & 25, thanks to HipMaestro, both, unfortunately, most inescapable NWN community's contributors...  '>

               The gustaver search engine is of no use since the old legacy forums server is down (and may very well stay so forever apparently). The only search engine currently working is the one linked in the first post, which is lacking only a few posted builds since The_Krit has not yet updated it to the last database acquired (which was acquired a couple of days before the server went down under my request having noticed the guild boards started behaving "funny").

It is also possible to download the full archive (yet to be updated to its final version) at the vault here.
