That has happened to me in the past, but a week or so ago it stopped and I'm able to interact with the board again.  Not much help, but I can confirm the behavior.

I've been getting this error since yesterday when I click on some search results.  I just did a search for "ControlP5" and the top links gave me this error.

The board field does not accept / in the query string.

I think this error occurs if you search when you are not logged in.

Well, it has nothing to do with your login state. The problem is that for some search results, the resulting url to the post is ill-formed. For instance, when I search the forums for 'music' the second result points to:

http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=Exhibition%3Baction=display%3Bnum=1201400294

when it should be:

http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=Exhibition&action=display&num=1201400294

HTH

Agree that the login has no effect.  I'm logged in and still have the issue, although the login has it's own problems of logging people out even when they have checked to stay logged in.  To get around this search bug, I've been clicking on the google cache page and then clicking the link at the top to take me to the article.  Hope this gets fixed soon.  YaBB 1 Gold - SP 1.4 ???  Any upgrades in sight?  YaBB version 2.3.1 is out - we're way behind.

Nice!! Upgraded!  Like the new features, particularly the PM notification and inbox/outbox.  

However, I'm still having issues with the search... I think it may be google or something.  The site works fine, Google just doesn't provide the proper url for linking to the discourse.

Discourse link at the top of the page needs to redirected as well.

Great job.

Just wanted to say that the search is working fine and the link at the top also works.  However, I've had some issues with the Alpha site.  After clicking on a search link that goes to an older discourse thread in the Alpha, it states "You are not allowed to access this section."

Just did a quick search for "fast text" and the two alpha site links I clicked on didn't work.

I searched in the box at the top of the page ("Search processing.org:"), which takes you to Google.  It just sends it to Google as "search query site:processing.org".
