Considering the huge hit that Noel Sheppard's post about the posters of President Obama as the Joker was, we had to make some major server changes in order to accomodate the massive influx of readers (over 570,000 pageviews as of this writing).
Most of the changes haven't affected the site itself, however, there are a couple of bugs which we're still working on fixing. The first one is that you currently can't navigate through prior editions of the home page. To get around this, please use our Archive feature and navigate to the dates you're looking for.
The other bug is that the search engine is not working. You can get around that by going to Google and typing in your search terms and then follow it with site:newsbusters.org. For example, if I were looking up articles about Joe Biden, I would type this:
joe biden site:newsbusters.org
We're working hard to fix these two bugs and will notify everyone when it is fixed. Thanks for your patience!

Question
Wed, 08/05/2009 - 14:23 ET by Tyler DurbinWhenever I try to listen to an MP3 download of Rush's show and read NB at the same time, the audio stream gets interrupted. This only happens at NB, and not other sites. Does anyone know how to correct this?
First rule is... why not
Wed, 08/05/2009 - 14:45 ET by Jack BauerFirst rule is... why not listen live to Rush?
Second rule is. NB has the crappiest servers in any top website. Just have to leave it, or live with it!
Why not live?
Thu, 08/06/2009 - 09:43 ET by Tyler DurbinAM talk radio has way too many commercials these days. I'd rather pay extra to avoid them.
Hey NB,

How to search for Biden
Wed, 08/05/2009 - 16:57 ET by saw the lightMatt,
Do you really think that's the best way to search for Biden? How about:
Plugs, site:newsbusters.org or
He Said What?, site:newsbusters.org or
Stand Up Chuck, site:newsbusters.org
Come on everybody, let's make this a competition. Who can come up with the best Biden search line!
I know it means a lot of work

Wed, 08/05/2009 - 18:22 ET by Chris NormanI wonder how many of those 570.000 are potential trolls? How many ways can one spell "shawn"?

Another bug
Wed, 08/05/2009 - 18:45 ET by UnsaneAmong other issues, I still cannot see beyond the first page of posts on any thread. Nothing on pages 2, or 3, and so on, can be seen. This has been the case ever since the "Joker" incident.

Wed, 08/05/2009 - 19:02 ET by Chris NormanUn,
I was just about to post a comment about that too. All you see is a blank page and "403" or some three digit number along with "2".
Damn, and I had just posted the best comment in history on the Sarah Palin thread. Now, it's lost in the ether... :)

That is what I mentioned in the blog post
Wed, 08/05/2009 - 19:19 ET by Matthew SheffieldI guess I didn't communicate it well enough. We are aware of this bug and working to fix it.
Matthew,
Wed, 08/05/2009 - 21:37 ET by R D HelmLOL-Chris is just yanking your chain.
He knows darn well you explained it in the original post, but it's the ".....the best comment in history on the Sarah Palin thread." he is worried about.
