    Hi All,

    When I'm using the search bar at the top of the page to search for a particularly forum, the drop down menu giving me my options are all dead links, clicking on them doesn't do anything.

    I've tried in Chrome, Firefox & Safari. I'm using OSX 10.7.5.

    Cheers,
    MM

    Damn, I knew there was a forum for this kind of query. Maybe a mod can move it rather my opening duplicate threads?

    It's the same no matter what I search for.

    That's not the only issue with the search function let's just say...

    More info would be awesome there. From my POV, I think the functionality of the new search function is fantastic.

    Seems quite hard to find things. Have had problems locating particular threads, recent ones too.

    Hi MagicMarker,

    If possible, could you give me a sample search phrase / dropdown link and the corresponding dead URL you're redirected to pls?

    Thanks

    Hey Ronan, it happens no matter what forum I search for. For instance I just searched for the Currys forum, the drop down shows the forum I'm looking for but when I click on it nothing happens, it doesn't redirect me anywhere, it's as if it's not a link at all.

    In fact, none of the drop down options work, be they fora, search or users...

    Hi MagicMarker, apologies I'm only getting back to you now. I'll see if I can liberate a mac for the cause over the next day or two and check it out.
    Will post any updates in here as I get them, thanks again for the bug report.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
