    Hi everyone,

    First, I am very sorry about the constant issues that have popped up here over and over again. Orchids Forum is running on some really old software and the issues are hard to permanently fix as the site sits now.

    I am working towards a permanent solution, which will be to upgrade our software to the next version. This isn't easy and its something I am doing with the very limited spare time I have right now.

    I will continue to try to "patch" the site together to keep it working, specifically the search issues that are non stop, while I continue to work to get the site on more modern software that will resolve these issues.

    Again, I am sorry, I know its frustrating, but I am working to resolve this as fast as I can.

    I think everyone at the forum appreciate what you are doing.
    Overall, the number of people that are active on orchid forums keeps decreasing. That's why issues like these matter much more now than a few years ago.
