I'm trying to do a search on the forum and none of the search drop-downs are working. Tried it on 4 computers with different web browsers.

I had the same issue when I tried to subscribe to a thread with Windows 7 and IE8. The Thread Tools drop-down menu would not drop down (and neither would the other drop-down menus next to it). However, Foxfire 3.6 works!

When I try to click on "Forum Tools" in any forum, nothing happens. Same thing on all 3 of my computers: XP/IE8, Vista/IE9, W7/IE9.

I did a search Wednesday around 6:30pm and worked fine. Couple of hours later the drop down was not working.

I'm on my work computer "government lan" which controls updates released by Microsoft. My systems is Win7 running IE8. No luck here also. It was working before with no problems. The only way to get the search option to show up is if I open search in a new tab or window.

I found the problem.

We recently implemented a new front-end caching component that we are testing on the forums only right now. It has a feature which allowed us to streamline how we were delivering Javascript and code to the browser, but it looks like it broke some Javascript functions for Internet Explorer. I've since turned off that feature on the caching network and it looks like that has resolved the issue.

THanks,

Search isn't working for me right now. Win7/Firefox. The search popup appears, but after clicking Go I just get a blank window.
