Need Help with Search Function
« on: October 31, 2012, 09:43 AM »
Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me.  I can't seem to use the search function; I keep getting a message that says 403 Forbidden and that my site administrator has to let me into the PHP protocols, whatever those are.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks and aloha,
Tori/Margo :palmtree

Hi Tori,

Make sure that there is no punctuation in the search keywords! That's what causes the fail 9 times out of 10. Let us know if that was the problem!

You've helped me too. That happens to me all the time and I KNOW I've seen a thread with the words I'm searching for... now I realise it's all down to these little things ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' '

Thank you!
Read it and reap.
