Default Problem with "Advanced Search"

Is it just me or a problem with the forum lately? I don't seem to be able to get any result using the "Advanced Search" or "Search" function. I have tried words like "carbon", "bluetooth" and "vagcom" etc. Every time I get a "Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms."

Anyone having the same problem?

I just tried looking for something with advanced search and it worked just fine. However, to do so, I manually selected the forum that I wanted to search. I know on other forums, if you don't select the sub-forum you want to search, it comes back with "Sorry - no matches".

Try your search again but this time manually select your desired sub-forum.

WTF?? Did you read what I said? *IF* you manually select the forum that you want to search, advanced search works fine. At least that has been my experience. Try this and then report back.

Okay, you (all) win. I just tried it again and it failed finding a post that I know is there (I posted it last week).

Somebody PM Kris Hansen. I've been bugging him about the borked quick reply so I've used up my quota of whine.

Dave, we're 99% sure the quick reply problem only effects Internet Explorer. I've tried with Firefox and Chrome, and both work as expected. We're trying to see if we can find out what the actual problem is.
