I noticed that recently too, even searching site:https://www.rolexforums.com/ didn't work and Google had 0 results. It used to work just fine.

Then yesterday I just got 404 all day trying to access the site.

The forum was down most of yesterday but seems fine now, try typing rolexforums should be better for you then, but you should post in the appropriate forum announcements/feedback & support

Yesterday was the first time ever I can recall the site being totally down. Was down for me around 10am and still down at midnight when I went to bed.

The forum has implemented some software tools to block Google. I don't know why, the Google search engine was far better at producing accurate search results in the classifieds section.

DuckDuckGo still works fine (for now).

Steve mentioned in another thread that he tried to improve something, but had unexpected consequences.

I don’t go there much but saw that too. I did have to kind of agree with some posters there making fun of the newbie “Rolex or bust” guys here. Many of them when faced with an AD wall just went and bought other brands.

these things happen from time to time, in our case, i would say with this site it is rare compared to others. makes us appreciate more when we can't access...

I also would like to be able to use Google again to search the site, far better results than the internal search algorithm. With that said, I'm very appreciative of everything Steve and the mods do to keep our forum up and running!

Yup, me too. I used Google to find topics and threads from Rolexforums, and it’s a bummer that it doesn’t work anymore.

This is sort of related and sort of not, but when you do a search within the forum you gotta use "Advanced Search" otherwise the returns will be nonsense.
