Is it just my PC?

Given that it occurs in both FF and IE, no - it'll be on the server (a record in the database actually).

I'll go burrowing around in the database this evening when I've got some time to scratch around. I've got a pretty good idea as to what caused the problem - would I be correct in saying you don't use the search facility* often? (Or you've found it to be broken for about a year now).

*Excluding What's New which actually uses a different script.

I have noted that the search facility was broken some time ago, I always managed to get around it by doing a search in google. I just thought that in time you would have picked it up and corrected it, so left it at that. Since I needed the facility again, I decided to report it this time round, simply because it was a mission, even using google because the thread was to new, and the bots had not picked up the thread info yet.
