<div class="IPBDescription">I have a big problem</div> Ok, not to sound mean or anything but my past few posts have been locked due to the fact that my search button doesn't work, Yep ur prolly thinking now :omgz nubz liar! but actually its TRUE, i posted this here because anywhere else i bet i posted it it would get LOCKED OR DELETED so heres my PROBLEM. Whenever i go to Log In it brings me to page cannot be displayed SO i then have to press abck a few times then refresh the forum page so im logged in. THE same thing is happening to my Search filter. but this time i CANT backtrack because its a SEARCH TOPIC. I try to Manually search for answers and then post my message ex. today i posted about SC models in the model and skin forum of course i got a few answers and i was happy but then before i could get any more some Admin of the forum i dont know if its Sn00py because hes the one who complained and whined about my post locked my topic and i am upset. Not to sound mean but i am angry and aggrivated by this. IF anyone can please help me with my problem so i can return to logging in and using the search filters that would make my day(s) <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> i posted this here b/c i dont want it being locked or delted because this isd the only forum i could think that no noobs will whine and complain about it because tis tech support <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    People get fustrated because the search thing has been talked to death and since these are rather active fourms, if people post the same questions over and over the new ones get burried somewhere...Here is the fix in a nutshell....

    to search, use the search box at the bottom of each area's page, unfotunatly you can't search all areas at once but it is still a search none the less.

    As for the login problem, i had that for a while too and it just went away after a while. A few people have noted that for some reason this popup blocker seems to fix these problems
    <a href='http://www.proxomitron.org/' target='_blank'>http://www.proxomitron.org/</a>

    It also stops unwanted popup ads from appearing, weather or not you want to install it is your decision.

    Hope that helps

    Yup, that search function from up right doesn't work.
    Sometimes it works for me, but usually not.

    Other thing which i have noticed, is that these forums / search engines, etc works much better with Netscape Navigator 7.0 than Internet Explorer 6.0. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Define doesn't work? I have yet to have the search button on the upper left NOT work. Dunno if it has to deal with the browser I use (opera), but I honestly have no idea what's going on whenever people say it's borked.

    After testing, my browser does make the difference. GG microsoft sheep. Dunno if netscape works, but opera allows me to search. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Im pretty sure there's a problem in IE...
    Never seen it myself though but I've always used Proximitron and similiar programs that fix such crap <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    it seems to me that search has some time limits... extremely old posts are cycled out of the index and extremely new posts don't make it in...

    just a theory, I have yet to confirm it
