Where's the "Search" box?

    A couple of days ago, I noticed that "Search" box on the MajorGeeks front page had been replaced by a non-functional little black box (see screen shot attached below). I'm not talking about the "Search" at the very top edge of the front page over to the right a bit, I'm referring to the "Search" box that was on the left, down below the list of the different download categories and directly above the "Feeds" section. I used that little "Search" box probably 15-20 times a day, and now it's gone!!! :cry

    I think MA read this thread, 'cuz it's back now. It was NOT there 60 minutes ago, and I'm using the same PC, and have not cleared any caches. It wasn't there yesterday when I used this same PC (the one I used to take the screen shot I attached above), and it wasn't there on my home PC either. But everything is OK now. My beloved "Search" box is back and fully functional, and I couldn't be happier. My world makes sense again, and I'll be able to sleep a bit better now that I know that the "Search" box is back home, safe and sound.

    I saw it too yesterday but I assumed it was a glitch on the computer I was on. (I was trying to fix someone's computer). Today I saw the same thing on my home computer.

    Just a tip:

    If you use the Search at the top of the Home page, after the results are shown
    you have the option to Refine results for:
    Downloads or Forums or Mac

    That helps to narrow things down a bit. :cool ;)

    Yes it was a glitch, that Jim fixed as soon as it was reported to him (cannot remember offhand who PM or emailed me with this but within an hour it was fixed, and if it wasnt Jim was going to blsme me for breaking it), again threads like this don't always get seen by Tim or Jim as they are busy but a simple email to them gets items like this cleared up right away.

    Plus the search box at the top worked ok, it was just thecside one only ;)

    If it breaks again its likely Jim updating stuff, so just try the top search box if the side one doesnt work, if that dont work then you can :cry
