@Tank any updates on the alert issue?

Afraid not, as I've only just raised enough donations for this month.  I'll ask about fixing the issue.

I think there is another Forum problem.

When I use the Search function, I get a list of many different posts, as usual.

However, when I go into a post and then try to return to the list by pressing "Reload" and then "Continue, instead of taking me back to the list, it kicks me out of the search completely and I get a message that says "Did you forget to put in something to search for?"

Not urgent, but I thought you should know.

Thanks Ian.  Unfortunately that always happens.  I've found that the best way is to press search, and then 'right click' and open a new window for that link.  Then close the window when you're done and the list was still be there.  Hope that helps.

Thanks for your reply.

The reason for my post was because I have been using the same process for searching the Forum for years (and I do a lot of searches) and have never had this problem before.

However, I tried your solution and it worked.  It is actually a couple of key strokes less and so is more efficient.  It did take me a couple of minutes to figure out how to open the separate window so I have added step 3 in the process below to clarify the Search process for other users.

1. Insert keyword(s) into the Search box. 

2. Click on "Search." 

3. Place cursor on "Search Results" near the top left of the page. 

4. Right click on link and a new window will open with search results. 

5. One can then click on a search result and then go back to the list using the back arrow without losing the search results 

Thanks again.

Ian
