Thanks, how do you do an advanced search with that?


EDIT: That search bar does not seem to work.

Looks like search is broken right now (when hasn't it been?). When it gets working the magnifying glass to the left of the search box should take you to advanced search.

Not sure how it would break. It certainly doesn't get used much.

DDOS the search.  I guess someone was repeatedly searching and typing up a lot of server space.

Incorrect!   The Advanced search is broken.    Not to mention if you use that Bar in the Upper Right, you get an Error Message (as recent as last night).

aye, the search is broken, but before the OP edited his message, the posted imaged displayed a collapsed top-menu with the question: "is the search function gone"  :salute

Someone thought they would be clever by trying to take down the forums on the same day the most recent update was released.  To do this they attempted to DDOS the forums search feature (was the rumor from skuzzy).  To foil their evil little plot of taking over the world and destroying HTCs by means of foiling their internet forum on a patch day ( :rolleyes: ), skuzzy simply turned the forums search feature off, and lo and behold, the "hacker" is no more than a one-trick pony (a 20-year-old trick at that).
