This just started happening recently and I've had it happen on my desktop, laptop and phone on different networks. I haven't seen it posted anywhere, so I'm not sure if others have had this issue...

When I go to do an advanced search it will sometimes load with text in the key words box. It's not a huge issue but slightly annoying when I just want to do a user search and assume it's empty and don't bother to look. I haven't payed enough attention to see if it's consistent, but it's usually "f=" followed by a number or a series of numbers. Maybe it's an issue on my end, but it just started recently and happens on multiple devices so I assume something's messing up when the page loads.

edit: just checked and the letter varies as well... this time it was "p=" followed by a series of numbers.

I am getting that too, thought it was just me.

Yea I'm getting that as well I figured it was because I block lots of scripts on here.

Same. It's annoying.

I run firefox and noscript.

Bump

It still happens but I just realized something about it... It doesn't happen on the home page and the text it put in the search box is the url after the ".php?".

For example: This address for this thread is http://www.rx8club. com/showthread.php?t=217915 (excluding the space) and the text in the search field when you go to advanced search is t=217915

It's one of those things that I've kind of used to now but it's still annoying enough to want it fixed lol.

Evidently there is no site support.

Fail.

There is support but IB owns/manages/supports a lot of different forums.

Getting it here on Chrome

actually just got it for the first time after trying it a bunch. i tried it from this thread and got p=4017104 which is actually the post number for jedi's post.

so it seems what is happening is that depending on how you entered a thread that t= or p= identifier code is getting stuck into the key word spot.

that should give them a way to track down the offending code.

did it to me again.
Zoom: do we know if they've had any luck identifying the issue?

It still happens to me too. I'm kind of used to it but it's still annoying at times.

Yeah I have been searching a lot recently and it happens each and every time.

Oh great, an excuse for people who do not search ;)

over 2 months later and it's still broken...

is anyone looking into this?

I'm curious as well... it seems like it would be a pretty easy fix.

Yeah it's pretty annoying.

so FU**ING annoying!
3 months later and it's still broken. Any word on this?

another week goes by and it's still doing the same thing.

anybody home????

nope its still the same way.

thanks, Zoom for showing me this thread. Everyone else sorry that we missed it. Looking into now.

cheers,

Woohoo! Finally some good news on this lol...

Of the many things that could be wrong, it was fairly minor but still annoying.

I was just studying for a test and, for some weird reason, I realized this hasn't happened for a couple days... I just tested it and it seems to have been fixed!

I did neglect to report back, but this is indeed fixed.

Cool. Is the search bar above new as well?

It is. It even includes on site image searching!

Cheers,
Robb

Sweet.
