Like Pete says, Yan....

At the top of your Browser...

Tools > Options > Advanced > Cached Web content > Clear now.

If you have previously "remembered" (ticked the box) your various Forum "log-in details" in each Forum, you may have to "log-in" again on your next visit...then remember it again!.... :D ...!

All works OK though...it helps to un-clutter things!

Give it a try!

Paul.... :mrgreen: ...!

I think he means the one beside the "post reply" button.

It only searches the current topic thread, and it works. Search for "cache" and it'll take you to Paul's post and highlight the word "cache". The search in the upper right is to search all the threads, not just the topic thread you have open.

Are you talking main site?
If so the search works regardless. To renew main site express membership just follow the membership links.

But the main site search box (& search page) works just fine too .....

The forum & main site search features all work whether you're a member or not.

What was returned when I did the same Forum search, Yan....>>>

"Information:

No posts were found because the word i-7 950 is not contained in any post."

If the details do not appear in any of the Forum Posts, you will get the message above!

It will only return the details if it can find it!

If you type "i7-950" in the search box in your main "Internet Browser", it will come up with all sort of information!

Yan...let your Wife have full control of YOUR Computer....
