I noticed that too and thought I was just doing it wrong.  I had given up and started using Google to search the forum instead.

The forum is still kind of slow for me.  Does it have anything to do with using Internet Explorer (and not Firefox or something else?)

I just don't understand what's going on for you. I'm investigating your IP.

Thanks.  Do you have any ideas what it might be?

The forum has been a little buggered up for me also in the past hour. Slow loading pages and so on... It seems better now though.

I know you love that idea, but the php implementation on this server is to blame. From the forum documentation:
Enable spell checking. You MUST have the pspell library installed on your server and your PHP configuration set up to use the pspell library. Your server DOES NOT appear to have this set up.
Does IE not have spell checking? WTF? Why does anyone still use that?

I'll see if the admins can add the pspell feature to php.

All of a sudden, neither am I. What gives?
