When I use the forum search box over on the right, I get 500: Internal Server Error

Example search:

http://www.giantbomb.com/forums/search/?forum_search%5Bq%5D=500+server

Occurs on Chrome Version 32.0.1700.107 m (normal when I'm signed in and in Incognito mode) and IE 10 on Win7

I can search the website, but not the forums.

Yep, looks like it's down. I'll see who I can alert about it.

I get that same error page when syncing my twitter account.

In the meantime, as a workaround you can go to Google and do a search for "site:giantbomb.com/forums [your keywords]" to search within the forums specifically.

Also of note is that it's impossible to attach a blog to the correspondent forum since the search there is also not working correctly.

This is still bugged and is being worked on. No ETA unfortunately but search is definitely the biggest thing that we're working on at the moment.
